Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even better, brunch - you really can't beat an egg.
Not only are eggs incredibly versatile and totally delicious, they're also really really good for you. Packed with protein (which the body needs for growth and maintenance), eggs are also rich in vitamin D, B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, and to top it off they're also low fat (a medium egg has about 70 calories).
But if you're anything like us, you're probably stuck in a bit of an egg rut. Yes, boiled, poached, scrambled and fried are all great ways to eat eggs, but there are LOADS of other things you can do with them.
So if you fancy broadening your egg recipe repetoire, check out these totally delish and super-easy egg recipes Simon Rimmer (of Sunday Brunch fame) created for British Lion Eggs...
