Healthy breakfast egg pate

I say breakfast, but really, you can easily have this for dinner too, because why not, eggs are delicious any time of the day. However, it is a great way to start your day with this meal, it is nutritionally balanced with protein, healthy fats, slow-release carbohydrates (assuming you will have some sort of wholegrain bread), and also some micronutrients. For this recipe, I would suggest you buy good quality eggs from a farmer or farmer's market as the colour of the egg yolk will be significantly different from store-bought eggs. I grew up eating eggs from my grandparent’s farm, so eating a whole egg that barely got any colour is a big NO for me, plus it tastes nowhere near as nice. Having said that, if you don't have any of these resources nearby, you can go into any bigger supermarket in the UK and look for 'Clarence Court, Burford Browns'. These eggs will taste and look good. This is only a single serving, but you can boil 4-6 eggs and then you have an egg pate for 2-3 days. Of course, don't forget to increase the quantities of the other ingredients as well.





Ingredients:

Serves: 1 Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 5-10 mins

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tbsp mayo

  • 2 tsp yoghurt (I used Oatly greek style)

  • a handful of chives and parsley

  • 1/4-1/2 tsp salt

  • few grinds of black pepper

  • avocado (optional)


Instructions:

  1. Boil some water in a saucepan and transfer your eggs into the boiling water. I wanted my eggs to be more on the hard-boiled side so I cooked them for about 9-10 mins. If you want the yolk a bit runny you will only have to cook them for about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Once the eggs are done, run them under cold water so you can peel them immediately.

  3. Transfer the peeled eggs into a small bowl and break them up with a fork. Add in the mayo and yoghurt and mix well.

  4. Add the salt and pepper and cut/chop the fresh parsley and chives into the mixture and mix together.

  5. Spread it on your favourite toast, bagel, or baguette and top it with smoked paprika powder, linseed, pumpkin seed, chia seeds or additional herbs.

  6. Serve it with a few slices of avocado (optional).
