Oddly it seems that eggs are much more versatile than most people may think!
I'd love to see and try your recipes! :)
Here's one of mine:
Poached Eggs On Toasted English Crumpets
----------------------------------------
6 extra large eggs
6 Crumpets (Or English Muffins)
6 Slices of Gruyere cheese
6 fresh basil leaves
1/2 stick of butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup water and one cup white wine for poaching
------------------------------------------------
Coat the sides and bottom of a frying pan with butter and pour in the water and wine, turn on the heat and add salt and pepper to the liquid as it comes to a boil.
Lower heat to a simmer and carefully add each egg (crack them, first) into the liquid, simmering for about 2-3 minutes or until the yolks are covered.
Meanwhile toast your crumpets or muffins under a broiler until each is lightly browned the place one pat of butter and one slice of cheese on each.
Place crumpets on a serving platter and place one poached egg on top of each, adding adding a dot of butter, if desired, and garnish each egg with the fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately. Make sure that this dish is hot so that the cheese will be delightfully gooey when your guests put their forks into it! :)

Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs
SUBMITTED BY: UserEmily3260
"These deviled eggs include bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Better than your ordinary deviled eggs."
INGREDIENTS
* 12 eggs
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 4 slices bacon
* 2 tablespoons finely shredded Cheddar cheese
* 1 tablespoon mustard
DIRECTIONS
1. Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool. To cool more quickly, rinse eggs under cold running water.
2. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Alternatively, wrap bacon in paper towels and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute per slice. Crumble and set aside.
3. Peel the hard-cooked eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks to a small bowl. Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, crumbled bacon and cheese. Stir in mustard. Fill egg white halves with the yolk mixture and refrigerate until serving.
