Discover new ways to use this versatile ingredient with Melissa Thompson, including a twist on the classic scotch egg, plus another picnic staple, quiche

Melissa Thompson’s ideas for using versatile eggs

Eggs are in a class of their own: they can complete a meal, perform magic by binding other ingredients together and even provide sustenance all on their own.

I love scotch eggs, and my arancini-inspired version is a brilliant way to use up any leftover risotto (p88).

Egg and prawn mayonnaise is a dish that was introduced to me by an Icelandic student who stayed in our family home when I was little. It sounds simple – and it is – but it’s also delicious, and makes a lovely breakfast or lunch when you need something quick and filling (p90).

My quiche recipe on page 88 celebrates asparagus season – I use crème fraîche to give it a nice tartness, which pairs well with the salty feta.
