Egg Bound!


Our chickens are giving it some!  They are laying eggs like it's going out of fashion and consequently I have some serious egg cookery to indulge in!  ;o)

Lunchtime today we had scrambled egg and baked beans on toast and for dinner this evening it was veg tortilla.  ;o)  Thinking about blogging earlier today I fell to pondering what the difference is between tortilla and frittata?  It would appear they are the same thing, both omelettes basically but tortilla is Spanish and frittata is Italian.  So, now I know!  ;o)


Whichever this is, I can confirm that it was delicious!  I love a simple dish and this is one of those.  ;o)  I just fried an onion in a little olive oil with some herbs, added it to a dish with cooked broccoli, potatos and carrots and poured over an ad hoc egg and milk mixture with some seasoning, sprinkle it with grated cheese and bunged it in the oven for about 40 minutes.  Eggorama!  ;o)

Now that we, well, my husband and daughter really, have ploughed through biscuits, cakes and mince pies leftover from the festivities I will be able to use up some eggs in some baking.  I haven't baked since Christmas Eve and I'm feeling in need of a blast of baking therapy!  ;oD  I may indulge my husband in some custard tarts to use yet more eggs up, watch this space!
