Collapse ▲May has been known as National Egg Month since the 1960’s. It has been a great way to lift up the nutritional importance of eggs in our diet. The white part of the egg is a great source of protein, while the yoke is full of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins B2, D, B6 and B12. You can get them scrambled, fried, poached, over easy, hard boiled or deviled. No matter how you fix them, please wash your hands after cracking to prevent any bacteria from being spread.
My favorite way is to fix them in a quiche. You can make this Chicken and Broccoli Quiche in a few minutes. This recipe makes 2 pies so you can freeze and save one for later. Think of all the ways you and your family can observe National Egg Month this May.
