Halloween Eyes
Written by The Egg GuyLike it or not there's a bit of fun in Halloween.
We've made some monster like eyes from hardboiled eggs.
We used eggs and what ever was in the cupboard to make these little treats for Halloween.
Gherkins, carrot, tomato, baked beans, brocolli, paprika, capers and tomato sauce all played supporting roles.
I don't think Weta Work Shop will be calling soon BUT these were really quick and a lot of fun to make.

A touch of spring
Written by The Egg GuyA little weather improvement has put a spring in my step this week.
I'm excited by the slightly longer days and I see that most people seem to be smiling more!
Eggs have been filling the need for Vitamin D over the winter. One of the few foods to contain this important vitamin which also comes from sun light.
We've featured the Caesar Salad this week. A well proven dish, quite easy to make and very versatile. I added a few smoked mushrooms to mine.
Our new video recipe is the first in a series where we'll show you (in less than one minute) how to cook egg dishes. First up is the frittata. A great dish whether you're using up a few left-overs for lunch or packing a picnic or feeding a crowd.
I was encouraged by Ben to try frying marmite with an egg. The result worked well. Who would have thought?
Have a great weekend and let me know what you've been cooking.
I hope you've seen the re-runs of our Microwave Scrambled Egg TV Commercial. So popular that there back on the little screen. Featuring The Egg Boy and yours truly.
I've been hearing that microwaved poached eggs are popular too.
This week I've seen Paul from Nelson try and scramble 16,000 dozen eggs in a truck and a dessert egg burger from Bar Salute in Greytown.
Here's my microwave scramble with spinach and few tomatoes.
Have you tried this recipe?
