Eggs for supper ~ Any suggestions?!
I don't want eggs prepared in the usual breakfasty sort-of way. No scrambled, boiled, fried, etc.
Besides egg I have cheese, salsa, canned tomatoes & various spices, & maybe some more unknowns lurking in the cupboard.
Can you suggest a substantially filling egg dish?
Thank you

You might also consider making "Strammin Max" (or strammer max) a popular German pub food (and midnight snack after the pub) and said to also be an aphrodisiac.
There is an explanation and recipe about 3/4 the way down this page ...

I've made it with lieberkase and also Schwarzw?lder ham ... excellent both ways.
Serve it with a good imported German Beer.
Mushroom frittata
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red potato
2 cups diced mushrooms [oyster mushrooms are particularly good]
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon crushed, dried thyme
2 ounces grated Fontina cheese
Method
Heat oven to 350
Heat oil in a 9-inch nonstick skillet. Scrub potato and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Peeling isn’t necessary. Sauté potato slices and mushrooms over medium-high heat, turning them occasionally, until potato slices are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Beat together eggs, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over potatoes and cook over medium high heat until eggs are moist but set 4 to 5 minutes.
Sprinkle cheese over eggs. Bake until cheese melts 3 to 5 minutes.
Cut into squares and serve immediately.
Make a traditional Spanish Tortilla!
If you have about 2 lbs of potatoes on hand, preferably russet or you could use yukon golds but I wouldn't use red potatoes, peel them and cut into about a 1/4-inch dice. In a large saute pan heat about 1/2 olive oil over medium heat and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes until they are completely cooked through. Remove the potatoes keep any residual oil in the pan. Add about 2 onions sliced thinly and cook until they are golden brown. Remove the onions to the potatoes and cool to room temperature. Whisk 6 eggs together with salt and pepper and then fold in the cooled vegetables. Pour back into the pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the sides begin to set and a brown crust is formed. Run a spatula around the edges and turn out onto a plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook on the other side for about 4 more minutes. Serve on a platter cut into wedges and enjoy!
Fried rice, although doesn't require much egg
Omelet with most of the ingredients you list - although you did specify not tradition breakfast
'Breakfast Casserole' - which usually uses bread or potato
Quiche
Since we generally associate eggs with breakfast, it is difficult to get away from 'breadfasty' so with out other ingredients to 'hide' the eggs you may be stuck.
Good luck,

French style omelet.
6 eggs
1 T water or cream
1 to 2 T grated parmesan
dash garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste.
in a 12" pan, skillet about 1.5T butter. Put all ingredients in a large bowl and using a whisk, mix them well. Pour into skillet.
Cook gently lifting the edges to allow the liquid to run underneath. When the top is jelly firm use just about anything to stuff it - but only on one half. My favourite is sharp grated cheddar and mushrooms. Fold the omelet to cover the stuffing and serve immediately.
Enjoy.
I was going to suggest a frittata -- I love them and they work really well for dinner. It's like a big thick omelette. I see someone else has a put up a recipe, but I'll suggest some additional ingredients: mushrooms, sausage/ham, cheese, spinich, garlic, peppers, onions, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes... etc. You can be creative!

I usually add mushrooms, asparagus, onions, cilantro, broccoli and/or cheese to an Omlette.
When I was younger we would have eggs (scrambled or sunny side up) served over white rice. I still eat it to this day. Put ketchup on mine. Haha. (:
