Super speedy egg recipes from Gizzi Erskine

A new recipe collection by chef and TV presenter Gizzi Erskine will help busy cooks save precious minutes in the kitchen.

Women spend on average nine hours a week cooking*, but Gizzi’s dozen recipes have a cooking time between just 1 and 12 minutes – making most quicker than the average TV ad break.

With one egg containing less than 80 calories, the recipe collection includes a number of healthy options - boiled eggs with asparagus and an Indian scramble being just two examples. Several recent studies show that eating eggs can help control feelings of hunger, cut calorie intake by 400 calories per day and increase weight loss, showing not all fast food is unhealthy.

So to help you make the most of one of nature’s superfoods, Gizzi has designed a dozen easy egg dishes with a modern twist on some old favourites.

Click below for some great recipes and top tips from faultless poaching to sublime scrambled eggs and remember to look out for the British Lion Quality mark on eggs and their boxes to make sure they have been produced to the highest standards of food safety.
