AS A SMALL country that spends €103 million on eggs every year, it’s safe to say we like our eggs. And why wouldn’t we?
The humble egg has many valuable health benefits. They contain high quality protein and good levels of B12, as well as fat soluble vitamins. The list goes on! Scrambled, poached, boiled, there are many ways to enjoy eggs, but one of the most satisfying has to be a well-cooked omelette.
Easy to prepare and tasty, omelettes are an excellent option for almost any meal – a filling breakfast, a quick lunch or a wholesome supper. Not to mention omelettes are an extremely flexible dish that can be dressed up or down in so many delicious ways! So, add the eggs-factor (we couldn’t resist) to your next omelette with the help of some inspiration below:
