Recipe by Sarah Todd

Ingredients

• 1/2 of a large head of broccoli, cut into fine florets

• 2 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 300g baby spinach

• 1/2 tsp ground coriander

• 1/2 tsp ground cumin

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• pinch of chilli flakes

• 100g feta, crumbled

• salt and pepper

• 4 eggs

• spring onion finely sliced for garnish

for serving

• flatbread

• Jalna greek yoghurt

Method

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Blanch broccoli by using a bowl, add broccoli and pour over boiling water and cover with a lid or plate and allow to sit for 4 minutes and strain.

• Place a heavy based frypan or cast iron pan (must be oven friendly) on medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil and sauté the onion until softened and translucent - about 7 minutes.

• Add in the garlic, cumin, coriander, and chilli, and sauté another minute.

• Add broccoli and spinach and cover and saute for 3 minutes.

• Lower the heat to medium. Flatten out the veg as best you can, then create little wells in the mixture in which the eggs can sit. Don't worry too much about making this perfect - some egg white may escape.

• Crack in the eggs, then place the pan in the oven. How long this takes will depend on the size of your eggs, check them for the first time after about 6 minutes, then check every few minutes to make sure that you don't overcook your yolks (unless that's your liking of course). As soon as the whites are opaque, you're ready to serve.

• Serve up with some flatbread, a big scoop of greek yoghurt and enjoy!

10 Second Scrambled Eggs

10 Second Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

2 Coles Free Range Eggs per person
Red Island Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Coles Sea Salt Flakes and Coles Cracked Black Pepper

Method

Place a medium sized nonstick pan over high heat. Add in 1tbs rice bran oil to the pan.

While the pan is heating, whisk the eggs together in a mixing bowl. Season the eggs with a good pinch of salt.

Once the oil is hot and is just below smoking point, pour in the eggs. From there you want to move the eggs from around the edge of the pan back into the middle with a large sweeping motion. Once the eggs start to firm up, which should take about 5 seconds, you want to start to shape them into a small mound of scrambled eggs.

Remove the eggs from the pan and season with cracked pepper.

Perfect Poached Eggs

Perfect Poached Eggs

Ingredients

Free range eggs
White vinegar
Water
Salt and pepper

Method

There’s really not much to poaching the perfect egg, but there are a couple of tips that'll help you achieve that perfect tear drop poachie.

Firstly - you want to choose the deepest pot you own and if you’re someone who poaches eggs all the time, go out and buy yourself a super deep pot. This will allow the egg to free fall when you crack it in the pot, which will allow it to come together into that perfect tear drop.

Next, fill your pot up to the top with hot water and put it over the stove on a high heat. As the water is coming to the boil you want to start to pour in your white vinegar. How much vinegar? It’ll depend on the size of your pot, so you want to keep adding vinegar, until you can JUST start to taste it in the water.

Once the water has come up to the boil, you want to reduce the heat so that it’s at a rolling boil. Which is higher than a simmer and lower than a rapid boil.

Next it’s time to crack your eggs in. If you’ve found a good size pot, you should be able to crack in roughly 6 at a time. Poach the eggs for about three minutes, but again, I do this all by feel. You want the white to be set on the outside and yolk to be nice and runny on the inside.

Drain the eggs onto paper towel and season them with salt and pepper as soon as they come out.
