Do you remember the eggs campaign that ran on TV when we were growing up – Sunday Ho Ya Monday, Roz khao Ande?  It was started to promote the goodness of eggs.

Eggs are extremely nutritious and a rich source of protein. Proteins are the building blocks that required for new cell generation and regeneration of cells. But what makes people wary of them is that they’re also high in cholesterol. But giving your child egg to eat 5-6 times a week is absolutely fine. When you mix the eggs with other nutrient rich fruits and vegetables, it increases the nutritional value of the food.

We’ve put together some recipes which contain egg and are extremely yummy. If your child is fussy about eating egg then these recipes are a perfect way to give them the protein without them detecting it.
