Scrambling to find something to prepare at mealtime? Why not scramble eggs instead and discover the benefits of a great meal with excellent nutritional value?
One of the most familiar foods, eggs are often called ‘nature’s perfect food’. They are easily available, affordable, versatile, require little time to prepare and provide lots of the essential nutrients for a balanced diet, including most of the vitamins the body needs and a wide range of important minerals.
For the most appetising scrambled eggs:
Use fresh, Grade A eggs.
Aim for eggs to be fluffy and creamy.
Bring ‘egg-citement’ to your eggs. Add diced meats, vegetable, cheese, herbs and seasonings before eggs begin to set.
Reduce heat to prevent eggs from becoming dry and rubbery.
Eggs are best served hot.
