Eggs-ellent Lazy Lunch

I love Eggs, I find them especially versatile on Slimming World. There are so many boiled egg recipes that can be whipped up in no time and are totally syn free. This one is a particular favourite of mine, and goes lovely with soup....

  • 6 eggs
  • 12-18 slices of ham depending on size
  • 6 Cherry Tomatoes

 

Preheat Oven to 180

  1. Spray a muffin tray with fry light
  2. Line each compartment with ham overlapping if very thin slices
  3. Crack an egg into each compartment
  4. Gently drop a cherry tomato in each egg
  5. Bake for 20 minutes (egg should be set)
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes
  7. Remove from tray and enjoy! 

An alternative twist is to finely chop and fry some onion, peppers and mushrooms then add the mixture to 6 eggs and mix well , divide the mix evenly, bake for 20 minutes.

Eggs Galore

I have a secret that I would like to share, I'm a kitchen gadget geek! I love a good home shopping channel gadget, nicer dicers, egg slicers, juicers, steamers, bakers boilers I've had (have) them all. But my latest gadget is an egg boiler!

It's so cool and the kids love it, see eggs and soldiers are their favourite breakfast and egg is a real go to item in our house. They are quick and easy, versatile and nutritious and with an average of only 70 calories in an egg I can enjoy them on my eating plan with no worry. We make omelettes, scrambled, poached (my personal favourite), frittata and egg fried rice and of course use plenty for baking.

So here's my egg boiler in action, as you see it's really easy, pop in the eggs, turn the dial and wait for the beep! 


And having such an easy method of boiling eggs means Termite can have her favourite egg in a cup. This is a Daddy recipe from his childhood. If he was feeling under the weather Grandma Jenny would make him a soft boiled egg and the take it from its shell and mash it in a cup with pieces of butter bread, it always made him feel better and its now Termites favourite way to eat egg. And like all children, for them the best part of soft boiled eggs? 'Tricky Eggs 'Pretending to Daddy that you are giving him an egg (which is actually the empty shell) then he gets a real shock when he cracks it!.
