Eggs… what would people do without them? I feel bad for those who are staunch vegans, or those who prefer egg-less desserts. Yes, it may be slightly fattening, but having eggs once in a while never killed anyone. It is important to have at least 3 eggs a week, to give you a good helping of proteins, which many people neglect in a diet. Not only can it be prepared in different ways – poached, fried, scrambled, and even made as an omelet, but it forms the main batter ingredient for anything that needs baking / frying.

How to Prepare
Taking a shallow non stick pan, first wait for it to heat up on a medium flame, before dropping into this the tablespoon of olive oil, the knob of butter, crushed garlic, bacon bits, and then your two eggs. Toss these for around 2 minutes, before adding in your milk to give the eggs a good fluff. Then drop in your button mushrooms and sauté for another 2 minutes, before sprinkling the contents of your pan with the chives, chili flakes and Italian seasoning. Mix these up for another 20 seconds and then empty these out into a nice large plate. Shower the top of your eggs with the Parmesan shavings, and devour this meal with a side of toasted brown bread.
