    Eggs can make a meal out of anything. They’re nutritious, because of the protein, vitamins and minerals they contain. They are also great to combine with the most common leftovers such as potatoes, carrots, and bacon, making quick and tasty meals that also reduce food waste.

    We held a #BritishEggWeek Twitter party to hear parents’ favourite egg recipes using leftovers. The party was sponsored by British Lion Eggs, familiar to shoppers via the red Lion stamp. You find it on egg boxes and shells and it means that your eggs are British and produced to the highest standards of food safety

    You can find more inspiration and recipes at eggrecipes.co.uk. Here, favourite easy recipes you can make with what’s already in your refrigerator.
