Notes

Tweaks
  • If you have a lid covering the pan it will help the eggs cook more evenly. The eggs will continue to cook in the heat of the pan so serve immediately or turn off the heat a little before they are completely cooked.
  • Garnish with a handful of herbs e.g. parsley or coriander
  • To boost your veggie intake, serve with Basic mushroom & spinach side
