Eggs for Dinner!

'Hi and welcome to Five Weeknight Dishes, with recipes for busy people who still want something good to eat. Scrambled eggs were the first dish I learned to cook as a kid, dragging the white rubber spatula in the skillet at 12, 3, 6 and 9, so it makes a kind of sense that eggs are my favorite dinner in adulthood, stretching back to my single days when I lived alone and could eat whatever I liked. Even then, maybe especially then, I could have had eggs every night of the week. They are my desert-island food, along with bagels and lox, or a good take on a niçoise salad, or maybe a salty burger with crispy fries. (All great with an egg on top.)

Two dishes below feature eggs — one as the main event (the huevos rotos), another in which it provides a luxuriously yolky finish (the pasta). And for those of you who don’t love a good egg, we have citrusy, briny and creamy options for you too. As always, if you have requests, suggestions or kitchen dilemmas, I’m at dearemily@nytimes.com. . .

1.. Huevos Rotos (Broken Eggs)

This clever vegetarian version of the Spanish dish huevos rotos uses smoked paprika and red-pepper flakes to replace the chorizo it’s typically made with. I’d plan on two eggs per adult for dinner, and serve it with a heap of sautéed kale and a cold beer.'>>>

if we are too tired to do something complex, or had a big lunch or breakfast.

Comfort food!
