(Family Features) It’s hard to top a brunch
feast spent snacking on sweet treats in the
sunshine with loved ones. At the center of
your celebration can be a springtime tradi-
tion with nearly endless possibilities: eggs.

Lean into the season with creative recipes
like Prosciutto and Parmesan Egg Cups or
Eggy Lemon Sandwich Cookies to take
brunch to the next level. As a natural source
of vitamins and minerals, eggs are a de-
licious protein powerhouse with just 70
calories per large egg. Boiled, scrambled,
poached, baked and any other way you like
them, they’re a kitchen superhero.

This spring, add eggs to your menu and ex-
plore fresh ways to celebrate the season at
