Cheesy, Scrambled Egg Croissant

 If your family is anything like mine, and tend to always shop in Costco, you might have many (strangely large) croissants in the kitchen.
 
 Now, I have something quite special and exciting you can do with those guys...
 
Ingredients:
 
- 1 Large Croissant (I got mine from Costco which are freshly baked)
- 2 Eggs
- Milk
- Spinach
- 1/2 onion (optional)
- Cheese (I used Red Leicester Cheese)
- Olive  Oil (for cooking eggs)
 
- Sauces -Mayo, Ketchup (optional)
-Cucumber / salad for sides
-Spices of your choice (salt, pepper, chilly powder etc.)
 
Method:
 
-Preheat the oven to your standard temperature
- In a bowl whisk 2 eggs together with spices, finely chopped onions and a large splash of milk (this will help the scrambled eggs become fluffy)
-  In a medium frying pan heat olive oil and then begin to add small quantities of the egg mixture at a time whilst you keep scramblifying  (aka breaking up) the egg. Continue this until you have used all the egg mixture and your scrambled egg is fully cooked.
- Cut your croissant sideways to form a 'pocket'
- Carefully fill your pocket with your scrambled egg and sprinkle as much cheese as you like on top of the egg 
- When you have finished filling your croissant, press down and place in the oven for approximately 6-7 minutes. Keep checking your oven because you don't want anything to burn!
 
Hopefully after you have taken your croissant out of the oven it is crispy and the cheese has melted.
Serve hot on a plate with salad and sauce and enjoy!
Let me know if you enjoyed this recipe. How do you like to eat your croissants? Plain, with ham and cheese or sweet with Nutella bananas and marshmallows?

Nutri - Bowls


I am pretty sure I stumbled across it somewhere on this world wide thing we call the internet because I'm not this cleaver and when I am its never this simple.

Nutri - Bowls (Cheering in the background 'YAY'), they are delicious, easy and quick to make and are packed full of nutritious, 'good for your body' foods. You can add anything to them and customize it to your own likes and add things that you have in your kitchen.

Today I made one for me and my mum and added (to each bowl):
- 1/2 tomato
- 1/2 large carrot
- 1/2 ripe avocado
 - 1/2 celery stick
- 1/4 cucumber
- 4 small cooked chicken breasts
- 1 heaped table spoon of hummus (lower fat is better)
- 1 egg (fried/ scrambled/ omelette or boiled... up to you!)

I chopped up all of the raw veggies into sticks to dip into the hummus and places them all into a manageable bowl so you can get straight into it, with feet and all.

I think this is a great healthy, lunch idea with all 5 of your 5 a day, healthy fats and protein that doesn't make you have to knock your head until you find a good recipe.

So, I can guess what your making for lunch tomorrow...NUTRI-BOWLS!

Enjoy.
