Egg Recipes

Cooking with eggs is a quick and nourishing way to provide a well-balanced family meal. Choose from a range of classic recipe ideas such as the humble omelette recipe, tortilla and frittata recipe.

Some alternatives to egg recipes for breakfast include the much-loved eggs Benedict recipe or eggs Florentine recipe. The origins of the eggs Benedict recipe have been disputed but one suggestion is that the dish was inspired by Wall Street banker Lemuel Benedict who ordered a hangover cure of buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon and hollandaise from the Waldorf Hotel. The staff were so impressed they put the recipe on the menu, substituting the bacon for ham. Since then delicious alternatives to the original eggs Benedict have arisen such as eggs Florentine which substitutes spinach for the ham.

The Spanish tortilla is an alternative to the classic omelette recipe using potatoes and veg such as peppers. Flavour your tortilla with cheese and meats such as ham for a quick egg recipe filled with your five a day.
