  • 📋Ukrainian Style Eggs Recipe
  • 🥟More Pierogi Recipes!

🥘 Ingredients

One of the best things about this recipe is that it's versatile! You can add toppings like fried onion, bacon bits, sour cream, dill, sauerkraut and dry cottage cheese to your liking. So, if you're looking for eggs and sauerkraut recipes, you'll love this one!

  • eggs
  • sharp cheddar cheese * I use low-fat/light
  • bacon bits (can use cooked chopped real bacon)
  • onion
  • butter
  • sauerkraut
  • dry curd cottage cheese (aka farmers cheese)
  • fresh dill * can substitute dried dill (optional garnish)
  • sour cream (optional garnish)

*see recipe card for quantities

Recently, my family instituted a weekly egg night, where we have egg recipes for dinner in order to cut down on the grocery bill, while still saving time, eating healthy and getting our protein. The point was to make it economical, using what we have in the house and not having to go buy a bunch of extra groceries. So, I've had to get pretty creative. These Ukrainian style eggs are next level and by far, my favorite creation!

Obviously you don't have to be Ukrainian to love perogies and the same goes for these loaded perogy eggs. Canada is home to a wealth of diverse and delicious cultural cuisines and eggs fit in with just about each one. From simple snacks and meals to beautiful culinary creations, eggs are a staple ingredient in kitchens nationwide. Although you may not be familiar with dry curd cottage cheese, I have included it as an option in this recipe. When you hear "cottage cheese perogies," that's the type of cheese that is being referred to. It adds a nice depth of flavour and texture to both perogies and this egg recipe!

🔪Instructions

  1. Heat a frying pan to medium, add butter and chopped onion, cook until light browned - about 5 - 7 minutes.

Stove top: Fried or scrambled

  1. In a separate frying pan, add eggs; cook them to your liking (fried or scrambled)
  2. When eggs are cooked to your liking, reduce heat to low, add cheddar cheese, cover with a lid and cook until melted (about 2-3 minutes)

🍳Egg Recipes for Dinner - fried, baked or scrambled!

Like eating loaded pierogies, but healthier, faster and easier, these Ukrainian Style Eggs can be made to your liking- fried, baked or scrambled! Dinner doesn't have to be hard. And if you have egg recipes like this on hand, it won't be! I've started making easier dinners, especially on busy weeknights when I'm running from work to home and back out to kids activities in the evenings! And trust me, this is an easy way to get a delicious and easy weeknight dinner on the table!

  • Fresh herbs: I use fresh dill, but you could use dried dill as a substitute
  • Bacon bits: you could use crispy bacon instead, cut into small pieces

🥚Egg Dishes for dinner

I eat eggs for breakfast daily, but growing up on fried egg sandwiches, I've always loved eating them for lunch and dinner too.  And since I also grew up on perogies,  these Ukrainian style eggs are the ultimate comfort food. You can eat them fried, baked or scrambled! If you're looking for delicious egg dishes for dinner, this is for you!

💭 Top tip

You can find dry curd cottage cheese at most grocery stores. I have found it at Co op, Superstore and Safeway.

👪 Serving Size

This egg dinner recipe serves 8. However, you can half, double or triple the recipe by clicking on the blue serving number and selecting the number of servings you'd like. The ingredient quantities will automatically adjust.

🔢WW Points

IF you get eggs and vegetables as a 0 point food, this egg dish is going to be less WW points on your plan. It's only 2 WW points on my plan (using ½ the fat cheddar cheese).

🥗 Side Dishes

Serve this healthy egg recipe with toast and healthy sides like cut up vegetables or a side salad. It also goes well with:

  • Quick Cucumber Kimchi
  • Spinach Salad
  • Skinny Coleslaw Recipe
  • Everything Bagel Cloud Bread Recipe

🍽Equipment

You'll need a medium sized skillet for fried and scrambled eggs or a 9X13 baking sheets/cookie sheet for the sheet pan eggs.

🌡️Storage

Store these eggs in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days. These ingredients do not stand up to freezing.

To Reheat: Heat (covered) in microwave for approximately 20-30 seconds.

  • Wash hands after touching raw eggs
  • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
  • Never leave cooking food unattended
  • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
