If you are stuck for ideas for a healthier diet for January, i find EGGS are a great place to start.
Poach em' Boil 'em Fry em' - the options are endless.
They are a great source of protein which means they will keep you fuller for longer.
All ideas are perfect for any time of the day.
Here's a few of my favourite ways to use eggs:
OMELETTE:
Stir fry your favourite veggies and add a couple of whisked egg with seasoning.
2 eggs should be plenty for one person. I tend to cook it on a medium to low heat once the eggs have been added. Add plenty to bulk it up and it will fill you up.
I like to add chopped ham and grated cheese on top. And a handful of fresh crisp spinach or rocket on top is great too.
SCRAMBLED:
Here, i generally use the same ratio - 2 eggs per person.
Whisk in a bowl with a little milk. Add your oil/butter/spray of choice to pan, add in the egg, don't touch it for a few seconds, add seasoning and then give it a mix up. Gently cook, breaking it up as it cooks. A minute or 2 will be plenty. Serve straight away as it will keep cooking while it sits.
I sometimes like to add perhaps chopped spinach or chopped spring onions also.
QUICHE:
Simple dish to make, tasty hot or cold. Just add chopped ingredients of choice to whisked eggs and seasoning. I would add a tub of cottage cheese to this and whisk in. Add to oven dish, sprinkle with cheddar if like and bake in the oven! It's that simple.
BANANA PANCAKES:
These are the easiest pancakes you will ever make! Whisk 2 eggs with 1 mashed banana - voila, your batter! Sweeter and quiker than regular batter. Kids will love these too.
And simple BOILED EGGS:
Perfect for having in the fridge to grab if you are peckish during the day.
Kids will love 'egg in a cup' too which is mashing an egg in a cup with salt and butter !
All of the above are very versatile where you can add or omit flavours / ingredients as you wish.
Be adventurous - add spices, herbs , seasonings and flavourings
Hopefully, this might just giving you a little helping hand if you're finding ideas difficult for your New Year start!
