Eggy Bread
Eggy bread is just that – bread dipped in seasoned, beaten egg and cooked in butter and oil until slightly crispy and golden. I remember eating this quick breakfast as a child and I certainly made it regularly for my children for either breakfast or lunch when they wanted a quick fix and something hot.

It is so wonderfully simple and quick to whip up; you can eat it as it is or as part of a bigger meal, such as with some roast tomatoes, mushrooms, some bacon or sausage or even some cheese and baked beans. Today, I had it simply with some Roast Chilli Ketchup on the side.

This is another recipe I’m putting on the site as inspiration for my daughters, for when they are in a hurry and need to whip up a quick meal in no time at all. Emma, who is still at university and is a vegetarian, is always looking for very quick and economical meals, whereas Charlotte, who works as a full time physiotherapist in the NHS, also has 2 other part time jobs and is always racing around and in a hurry! The key issues for both of them are nutritious, speedy, economical meals, and this blast from the past, is perfect!
