Egg muffins:
This has been my favourite meal prep for weeks. Simply whisk some eggs, add any filling, and bake in a muffin tray. Egg-splore the possibilities with varieties of fillings; peppers, spinach, and bacon work perfectly. You can even add cottage cheese for extra protein and make it your own flavour with pesto or chilli. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, and as a snack.
Shakshuka:
A popular dish throughout North Africa and the Middle East, Shakshuka is a dish of eggs poached in tomatoes with peppers, onion, and garlic. Spiced with cumin, paprika, and chilli and lastly topped with fresh herbs this dish is wonderful on its own or with some fresh bread to dip. Try this hearty and nourishing meal which is eggs-quisite for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
Spanish tortilla:
Also known as the Spanish omelette, this dish is made with thinly sliced potatoes, onion and (yep you guessed it) eggs. Simply mix sliced potatoes with whisked eggs and fry in olive oil. There is no wrong way to make it – it is your choice if you like it thin or thick, crispy or not. It can also be made ahead as it is traditionally served at room temperature or cold, perfect for a tapas night. Make it egg-stra special by adding cheese or vegetables.
Quiche:
Try this savoury and creamy baked egg mixture in a flaky pastry crust. Simply mix eggs and cream together, add to a dish lined with store-bought pastry (or make your own if you’re feeling fancy), add any toppings, and bake in the oven. Some eggs-tremely delicious toppings and combos include cheese and bacon, spinach and feta, or salmon and asparagus. Perfect all year round and any time of day.
As you can see the possibilities with eggs are endless, with many recipes and infinite flavour combinations. So, don’t put all your eggs in one basket and try one of these egg-straordinary recipe ideas!
