Some of them require a level of skill (how to make the perfect omelette, for example), some are as simple as anything (try this fried egg on avo toast) , as we think the best egg recipes should be. But aside from their versatility, why are we so fussed about eggs? Because they are just so darn healthy and a great way to get protein in as a vegetarian. Eggs contain practically all the nutrients you need, and are also a source of those elusive vitamins, D & B12. What’s more, an easy way to get even more out of your eggs is to buy omega 3 enriched eggs, then you’ll be getting important fatty acids as well. They are enriched naturally – the omega 3 comes from the chickens’ diet.
Eat eggs, get protein!
One of our crusades here at Hurry The Food Up is to provide you with vegetarian recipes that help you to get enough protein. The best thing about eggs is that whole eggs contain around 6-8g protein each! This means that breakfast egg recipes are a great source of protein. Some of these easy breakfast ideas contain up to 25g protein each, which is a solid chunk of the average RDA (45g for a woman, 55g for a man).
