Four new ways with eggs

Need a simple way to make egg-stra profit? Create four quick dishes from this single protein source

Omelette tortilla

Tomato

Slice beef tomato or halve sweeter, small varieties like cherry or plum. Fry in a pan for a few mins on both sides to get some colour.

Cheese

Time to add 2 seasoned scrambled eggs, then sprinkle over a stringy cheese like mozzarella for the best ‘cheese pull’.

Tortilla wrap

Pop a pan-sized tortilla on your eggy filling, let it cook then flip it. Put it back plain side down to brown then fold in half and serve.

Breakfast Skillet

Potatoes

Grab a cast iron skillet and fry small chopped potatoes in butter until brown all over and tender in the middle. 

Bacon

Add texture with chunky bacon lardons or pancetta. Fry until crispy so the rendered fat will flavour and coat your veg.

Peppers 

Mix in a handful of chopped peppers of different colours. Char them to release their sweetness before adding your eggs and frying.

Speciality Scrambled

Butter

The best scramble needs plenty of good-quality butter. Let a few knobs melt in the pan before adding seasoned eggs.

Crème fraiche

The key to soft, creamy eggs is cooking on a low heat. When almost ready, cut the heat and gently mix in a dollop of crème fraiche.

Chives

Chives give a subtle onion flavour to cut through the richness. Chop finely and stir in or sprinkle on top as garnish.

Fried Rice

Rice

The long grains of jasmine rice are ideal for this dish. Cook it, cool it completely and then fry it in a hot wok with a good glug of oil.

Chilli oil

Once you’ve scrambled in an egg, unleash some spice and instant Asian flavour by mixing in 1 tbsp of crispy chilli oil.

Soy sauce 

Throw in a dash of soy sauce for an umami note. Light soy will give you more salty flavour while dark is thicker and sweeter.
