EGG- CELLENT TIPS

Eggs are ideal for making omelettes, adding to salads, to thicken sweet corn and chicken soup. Adding eggs to fried rice makes it a high protein meal. To extend leftover creamy pasta, top with fresh rocket leaves and poached eggs. Flavour scrambled eggs with 125 gm can of creamed corn and 1 cup of chopped baby spinach leaves. Serve eggs with buttered toast and sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Always use eggs at room temperature. Eggs approaching their use by date are perfect for baking cakes, quiches and frittatas, while fresh eggs are best for frying and poaching. Eggs that are only a few days old are best for hard boiling, as the shell is easier to remove.
