Good ingredients to pair with eggs
Eggs work well with ingredients that bring texture or contrast: crisp potatoes, rice, spinach, tomatoes, cheese and bread. Choose whether you want a soft, folded, scrambled or set result before adding too many fillings.
Easy eggs meal ideas
- potato and egg hash — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
- egg fried rice — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
- spinach omelette — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
- tomato egg toast — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
How to get the best from eggs
Gentle heat gives eggs a better texture and more control. For an omelette or scramble, take the pan off the heat just before the eggs look completely set; residual heat will finish them while keeping the centre soft.
Turn a few ingredients into a coherent dinner
Choose a base, a flavour direction and one or two supporting ingredients. For example, rice or potatoes can make the meal filling, while lemon and garlic, tomato and herbs, soy and chilli, or curry spices can give the ingredients a clear direction.
Make the idea fit your evening
The same ingredient can produce a very different answer depending on whether you need dinner in 20 minutes, want one pan, are feeding four people or need to use another ingredient before it goes to waste. Add those constraints before choosing the final recipe.
Use SIZZIO to make it specific
Tell SIZZIO what you have, how many people you are feeding and what kind of meal you want. You can then save the recipe and move into the cooking flow instead of starting another search when it is time to cook.
