In short, and it might take a minute to wrap your head around it, IMHO it is best to use Categories as the buckets you want to use to hold your ongoing content. In other words, your recipes. Breakfast, lunch and dinner would be sub-categories (in the categories menu Posts -> Categories) you set the parent of the three to recipes. Now you have a logical hierarchy as recipes are a main topic on your site and each meal type is a sub-set of information under recipe. Hopefully, that makes sense.
Now, you are still going to have a bunch of concepts you would like to be able to search on. So, to use your example, eggs. I would recommend in this scheme that you “tag” the post eggs. Tags can be thought of as the “index” items to your website. Once you figure all of this out, you can create custom category pages and queries (tell wordpress you want to display all posts in the “breakfast” category that are also tagged “eggs” for instance) to display only what you want.
It is a lot to think about. Get out a piece of paper and make a map of your site and how you want to organize your content.
I would then use a “page” for anything that really isn’t ever going to change…like a disclaimer page, about us and such. Using this scheme takes a little practice, but once you understand the concept, you will have what you want and more importantly a very usable site.
This page does a great job breaking it down (I have no affiliation): http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/categories-vs-tags-seo-best-practices-which-one-is-better/
Good luck.

Thank you so much, I figured it out. Once again, I was making this way too complicated. Thanks for all your help!
