Sunny side up

We don't really need an excuse to celebrate the wonder of eggs but, as it's National Egg Week (5-11 October), we thought we'd give them a special mention. And, we're adding meringues to our next menu, by way of celebration.

If you're among the 33% of people surveyed who said they found it difficult to poach and egg or the 26% who apparently can't make an omelette, now's as good a time as ever to try a new method (love this series) or recipe.

Our favourite way with eggs for breakfast are probably poached or scrambled with indulgence like this; boiled, chopped and mixed with tomato in sandwiches for a perfect beach picnic or, sweetly whisked into something like this dessert or maybe this one.

And finally, a great big thank you to these lovely chickens and their characterful keeper, Uncle Joe for supplying us with simply delicious eggs all year round.

Happy egg week and happy egg eating. What's your favourite way with eggs?
