Boiled Egg

THE 3 MINUTE EGG

How to boil an egg...
A staple of any student’s repertoire - it’s easy and quick 
to make. Simply cover the egg with about 2.5cm of 
water in a small pan. Heat until almost boiling, stir gently 
then reduce the heat until the water bubbles scarcely 
for 3 or 4 minutes. Remove it from the pan immediately 
or it will continue to cook in its shell. Serve with toasted 
bread sliced into soldiers.
Poached Egg

POACHED EGG

A Perfect Brunch...
Heat about 5cm of water in a pan and add a pinch 
of salt and a touch of vinegar. Break two eggs into a 
separate cup and then pour into the simmering water 
for 3-4 minutes. Butter some toast, or a muffin, and add 
the egg on top. Add some flavour with a slice of Honey 
Roast Ham and season with salt, pepper and/or some 
Hollandaise sauce.
Fritata

FRITATA

Quick Supper or a Light Snack...
Add a tablespoon of olive oil and 15 grams of butter into 
a frying pan and heat. Chop a small red onion and a red 
pepper and cook until soft. Add 2 sliced potatoes and 
75 grams of frozen peas and cook for 3-4 minutes. Beat 
6 large eggs in a separate bowl and season then add to 
the pan along with some chopped parsley. Stir. Keep on 
a low heat until the eggs are almost set, then sprinkle 25 
grams of Cheddar cheese and pop under the grill until 
the top is set.

FRY THEM, POACH THEM, BOIL THEM, PUT THEM IN A SPOON & RACE THEM

EGGS IN PROFILE

ENERGY
Whilst they may not be as energy efficient as some other breakfast foods they are certainly going to give you more of a boost than baked goods.

MUSCLE
We absorb nearly all the protein in an egg, which really helps muscle growth. Research at A&M University, Texas, shows that eating three eggs a day is twice as effective as eating two.

YOLK OR WHITE?
Yolks contain more than 90% of the minerals which are good for you. In addition, the yolks contain ALL of the fat soluble vitamins and ALL the essential fatty acids. In short - eat the yolk!
