Don’t toss these egg yolks!

Regardless of all of the constructive press and ‘Eggs are Good For You’ headlines these days, it’s a little bit stunning for this dietitian that I nonetheless see recipes and references suggesting that the healthiest strategy to eat an egg is whites solely – and to toss these shiny yellow yolks.

However right here’s the fact: Simply as with different boldly coloured meals – like kale versus iceberg lettuce – the intense colour of a yolk indicators it accommodates among the highest focus of vitamins.

Immediately, over on the Egg Vitamin Heart’s Vitamin Unscrambled weblog, I’m ticking off all of the vitamins discovered within the egg yolk; it’s a goldmine of diet. Right here’s only a snapshot what may be present in an egg yolk:

To get pleasure from eggs for breakfast, lunch, a lightweight dinner and even dessert, I created this recipe for Apple Cheddar Bread Pudding Bites utilizing complete grain bread, apples, sharp Cheddar and sprinkle of nutmeg.

First, I made it in muffin pans and my children ate the Bites as a grab-and-go breakfast; we preferred them a lot we had them for dessert too. And with just one/2 cup sugar for the entire recipe, it’s a healthful dessert! I made the Apple Cheddar Bread Pudding once more and served it in a 9×13-inch dish for brunch.
