Eggs – easy and full of goodness

Easy to buy, easy to store and can be cooked so many ways.

Eggs are something that can be had for any meal. Simple eggs on toast were a great Sunday night favourite when I was growing up. There’s also nothing like waking up on the weekend and smelling eggs and bacon sizzling in the pan. What a start to the day!

The versatility of eggs means that you can put them with such a wide range of options. Make a frittata with last night’s left over roast vegies and top with cheese. For breakfast – Line a muffin tin with rashers of bacon, whisk up 6 eggs with some milk and herbs and fill each bacon ‘bowl’, sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. The family will devour them and ask for more!

This week’s recipe came from an idea when I was visiting my family in Canberra. Egg rolls are a mid-afternoon snack for my brother’s energetic young grandchildren and a great protein and vitamin kick to keep them going until the evening meal.

This egg roll recipe turns a simple idea into a wonderful breakfast.
