Cheesy Chips Omelette
A classic takeaway favourite made into a brand-new meal, with eggs. Transform leftover chips into a hearty cheesy eggy delight, best served with a side of fresh salad leaves and cherry tomatoes for a British take on a Spanish omelette.
Curry Night Frittata
Using leftover vegetable curry such as saag aloo to create a tasty golden egg-filled frittata, topped with fresh coriander and red chillies. Best served with some leftover naan and chutneys.
Teriyaki Noodle Soup
Using a leftover noodle dish as the base, such as Chow Mein or Pad Thai, make the perfect comforting soup topped with eggs to help to turn this dish into a filling meal. Then add a sprinkle of chilli flakes if you like it spicy.
