Eggs are in almost everything we eat, and that is good. The whites and yolks contain many valuable nutrients for a healthy diet<\/a>. Eggs can be boiled, scrambled, poached or be whipped up into an omelette, as\u00a0you prefer.<\/p>

But to expand your egg-cooking repertoire<\/a>, we've got two recipes right <\/a>that you can immediately get cracking at!<\/p>

Tomato and egg cocotte<\/span> <\/h2>

Wash 2 round tomatoes, cut them to a third of their height and hollow out the insides. Add salt and pepper. Break 2 eggs without breaking the yolk and pour that into the tomatoes. Throw in\u00a0basil leaves, sprinkle with paprika and close each tomato with its cap. Bake for 20 minutes at 180\u00b0C.
<\/p>

Salmon stuffed eggs<\/span> <\/h2>

Peel 4 boiled eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks. In a bowl, mix them with finely chopped onions, chives and a pinch of ginger powder. Garnish\u00a0the egg whites with the mixture and cover with slices of smoked salmon.<\/p>
