12 Great Ways to Use Eggs

Packed with protein, eggs are a staple in the Mediterranean Diet. They’re easy to find, easy to keep on hand in the refrigerator, economical, nutritious, and versatile. One large egg contains about 70 calories, 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein. It also contains 13 essential vitamins and minerals, most in the yolk.
