Make Mother's Day with an egg
Whether you’re a kitchen numpty or a confident cook, there’s an eggy recipe idea here to pamper your mum on Mother’s Day morning.
Sarah Trivuncic of Maison Cupcake has asked her friends to suggest their favourite egg recipes with which to make Mother’s Day breakfast extra special.
The point of making a Mother’s Day breakfast is that she doesn’t need to do any of the work. These are all fairly easy breakfasts or brunches you can knock up in around twenty minutes or less. If you’re not usually the cook do read the recipes carefully and make sure you have ingredients and any equipment to hand. It will spoil the surprise if mum has to get out of bed to help!
Heart Shaped Egg in a Hole
If cooking isn’t usually your thing but you want to show mum you care, this idea is very quick and easy. Bake an egg inside a hole cut into a slice of toast. Add an extra loving touch by making the hole a heart shape with a cookie cutter.

Mini baked yogurt and spinach frittatas
Beat up your eggs and mix with yogurt and spinach before baking in a muffin pan to create these mini baked frittatas. These snack sized bites take just twenty minutes to cook and can be eaten either hot or cold – so you could prepare this one ahead the night before.

Asparagus and Cheese Soufflé style Omelette
For mums you want to pamper but who might complain about the calories this soufflé omelette is just the job. The classic omelette is made extra fluffy here by including whipped up egg whites to the mix. The extra air means a bigger omelette with fewer eggs and tasty enough without adding cream so it’s a wise choice for the waistline.
