Heheh I’m known by many as Egg Erin, cause everyone knows my love of eggos (and I have an egg tattoo).
My favourite ‘recipe’ is probably the most simplest way of eating eggs.
It’s just butter and garlic warmed in a pan and cooked to however soft you like your eggos (personally, it’s sunny side up with a sprinkling of salt)
Pop it on a piece of toast maybe with a generous ‘squirt’ of sriracha and boom you have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Bone app the teeth!!!
I LOVE eggs, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day by far but how to choose my favourite recipe…scrambled with some chilli sauce in a fluffy asian bao? baked with ricotta and broad bean mash and crusty bread on the side? or soft-boiled and wrapped in Katafi threads and deep fried with hummus, feta and pita bread… they are my fancy favourites but you also can’t beat a soft boiled with marmite soldiers.
Oh and don’t forget about chocolate eggs too!
I don’t think you can beat shakshuka for a really tasty egg dish
While a simple poached egg is enough to satisfy my egg desires, I absolutely love a classic fluffy souffle.
In a saucepan melt 50g butter, blending in 3tbsp of plain flour, and cook for 2-3mins. Add 1 1/2 cups warm milk and blend thoroughly, stir until boiling. Cool until warm and beat in 3 egg yolks one at a time. Stir in 3tbsp grated cheese and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir in 2tbsp of cream, then fold in 4 stiffly beaten egg whites – ensure mixture is smooth. Pour into a dish standing in hot water. Bake at 190 degrees for 10mins, drop to 180 degrees and cook for 20-25 mins. Dont open over door while cooking! Enjoy immediately while hot and fluffy!
I don’t think you can go far wrong with a classic French Omelette. So quick and inexpensive to make and delicious done well.
Can’t beat a well done omelette
When I lived in Italy there was ALWAYS a glut of tomatoes in late summer. Even though my neighbour bottled and froze many kilos of these gorgeous fruits there were still more bowls (and I mean washing up bowls!)!left in the larder begging to be used. So she’ d throw a big handful of roughly chopped toms into a frying pan, cook until soft and sloppy and season well with salt and dried chilli flakes. Then she’d break one or two very fresh eggs in and cook until the yolks were done. Then she left them until the coffee was ready and, before serving, sprinkled over a VERY generous handful of matured Pecorino Cheese. Definitely not Shakshuka – though it resembles it – but the taste of Italy in September !!
I love to put a gooey poached egg on top of spicy Ramen.
You can’t beat soft boiled eggs with marmite soldiers, they always make me smile
Can’t beat a mushroom omelette
You just can’t beat scrambled eggs yum yum
I keep my own hens – just 2 girls. They provide at least a dozen eggs a week between them.
My favourite way to use them is to make Nigellas’ DOUGHNUT FRENCH TOAST
using my own Strawberry and Pimms soft set jam (courtesy of Kylee Newtons excellent recipe) in the depths of winter when no fresh strawberries are available. It is quick and easy and is a fab pud when we can’t think of anything else.
My favourite eggy recipe has to be spaghetti carbonara! Fresh thick chunks of pancetta fried with garlic, grated pecorino & Parmesan whisked with two organic free range eggs
French toast yummy
Unfortunately I don’t have a favourite eggy recipe, as I don’t eat them, but my daughter and her family love eggs so I would like to win the book for her. She could do with some inspiration!
Fave egg dish. French toast.
Made very rich I use cream instead of milk.
Add some vanilla.
And use crossiants instead of bread.
Yum.
I love the way that egg yolks do wonderful things in a chocolate cake but then you can use the saved egg whites for making meringues
Vegtable omelete
Eggs for breakfast nothing else is better than that.
I love to open my fridge and just add anything to my scrambled eggs, always has chilli & cheese , but anything else is just and added different everyday.
A Jewish recipe that’s a version of eggy bread but using Matzos (thin unleavened crackers). You break up the Matzos into pieces, soak in milk and then mix in beaten eggs. Fry, turning constantly. I eat it with salt and pepper, my husband with sugar. Take your pick.
My kids love eggs! Their favourite is eggy bread or omelette (omelette is great for hiding veggies in to)
Thanks for the chance xx
i love eggs…omelettes, fried on a full english, scrambled on toast, eggs benedict…..
The simple ones are best I love eggy bread which is basically bread dipped in egg and fried. There may be a variation or twist on this in the book if I was lucky enough to win.
Devilled eggs- delicious!
I love a friand. Or maybe lemon curd. Oh actually, a macaron. No, wait, pastel de nata, that’s the best egg recipe.
Huevos Rancheros!

egg fried rice! yum
I just eggy french toast
I just love Eggs and all the multiple meals you can make with them
I love eggs! My favourite is baked eggs. Pop a couple of eggs into a generously buttered ramekin. Mix double cream with grated cheddar and plenty of salt and pepper until it forms a wet patty. Gently pop this onto the raw eggs. Grate some parmesan (add some finely chopped bacon lardons for the meat eaters). Pop ramekins onto a pre-heated baking tray and into the oven at 180 until cooked (about 20 mins). The secret is to only put 2 max ramekins in the oven at a time. Delicious Saturday brunch food with buttered sourdough and a large Bloody Mary.
I love a simple eggy bread
we have chickens so lots of eggs in our house love a good frittata i can chuck in anything in the fridge that needs using up
My favourite recipe is a lovely cheesy mushroom omelette. Made as you might think but with a dash of Lea and Perrins!
Eggy bread or as I know it French Toast
Got to be Shakshuka- flavoursome, aromatic and delicious!
Indian style scrambled or omelette – eggs, masala (chilli, garlic, ginger blended into small pieces), salt, garam masala, tumeric, red chilli powder, little oil. Mix all the ingredients and place in a pan with the oil warmed up, scramble or omelette as required. Caramalise some onions first if you have time and add the egg mixture tastes great
Home Made Egg Custard Tart is lovely, topped with some nutmeg. Mum taught me how to make it
French toasts with sugar and lemons.
I love poached eggs with Japanese spicy marinated mushrooms
