"Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods money can buy - they are a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. A medium egg contains less than 70 calories. Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline, and essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus."

Ottima idea,Buon pomeriggio
ReplyDeleteMy hubby has been asking if I would make these, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the view that eggs are mighty nutritious. There was a time when people (me included) skipped eggs because of fear of high cholesterol. Well, it affected health badly.
ReplyDeleteI love making things in muffin shape!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! Thanks for linking to the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteNow, to be honest, I've never cooked eggs in a microwave. Must try it. They look tasty, yummy.
ReplyDeleteSounds good.

Hello there
I actually bought a box of 12 free range medium size eggs today and they cost £2-30 which works out at 19pence per egg.
However, prices are lower if you buy caged hens eggs and higher if you want to buy organic eggs. The eggs I tend to buy are in the middle of the price range.
The other thing is that eggs are still in short supply and many stores and supermarkets are restricting sales to two or three boxes per customer.
We did enjoy one of these egg cup/muffins each this morning for breakfast, they are so quick and easy to do :)
Enjoy the rest of your week.
All the best Jan
Looks pretty simple - and delicious too. I need a change from my morning bowl of cereal.
ReplyDeleteI love eggs. Even though they are expensive now, I'd rather buy a dozen eggs than an equal price of meat (which actually, I think would be hard to find!) And you get a lot more meals out of eggs!
ReplyDeleteNo me gusta desayunar con huevos. Suelo hacerlo con tostadas y aceite de oliva o galletas.
ReplyDeleteEn Béjar los huevos XL la docena cuesta unos 3 euros. Tenemos 6 gallinas en el huerto y son los huevos que comemos, ahora están un poquito vagas por el frío :))
Buen jueves para todos.
Un abrazo.
Love this …love eating eggs…🍀❤️🍀🐾🍀
ReplyDeleteTengo los huevos de mis gallinas. No desayuno huevos, pero si los como durante el día, me gustan mucho. Besos.

I don't like to have breakfast with eggs. I usually make it with toast and olive oil or cookies.
In Béjar the XL eggs the dozen costs about 3 euros. We have 6 hens in the garden and they are the eggs we eat, now they are a little vague because of the cold :))
Good Thursday to all.
A hug

I have the eggs of my chickens. I don't eat eggs, but if I eat them during the day, I like them a lot. Kisses.
I have eggs every morning and almost always with my crustless quiche. This would be a wonderful substitution! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDear Jan. I have in egg in my breakfast twice a week with no oil at all. I am glad they are harmless so far :)
ReplyDeleteRecipe is very good thanks for sharing
