THE EGG

The egg is a great gift from the chicken. 

Sometimes I wonder if I eat too many eggs.

Below are three recent egg dishes.

All were invented 'use up ingredients' recipes.

Baked Eggs - leftover pork & lemon meatballs, spinach and eggs - oven baked

 

Corned Beef Hash - caralmelised red onions, leftover mustard mash, leftover broccoli, corned beef and a fried egg

Asparagus Frittata - leftover asparagus, onion, eggs, parsley, Parmesan and nutmeg
