This simple dish makes an ideal post-exercise meal as it combines both carbohydrate (from muffins) and protein (from eggs), which enable rapid re-fuelling of muscle glycogen and repair of muscle tissue. Wholemeal muffins are recommended as they provide more iron, B vitamins and fibre than ordinary muffins.

Ingredients

  • 2 large British Lion eggs
  • 2 tablespoons/ 30ml milk
  • 1 tablespoon/ 15ml chopped fresh chives
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon/ 5ml vegetable oil
  • 1 wholemeal English muffin

Method

  1. Whisk the eggs, milk, seasoning, oil and chives in a micro-proof bowl with a fork. Place in the microwave and cook on HIGH for 1 minute. Remove and whisk lightly with a fork. Return to the microwave and cook for a further 30 seconds. Stir. The eggs should be lightly set. Leave to stand for 1 minute.
  2. Meanwhile, split and toast the English muffin. Arrange on a plate, pile the eggs on top and serve with a leafy salad.
