Crumble eggs with aubergine in pecorino sauce
Eggs take a lead role in the most part of my recipes.
Eggs are so versatile, tasty, natural, rich of proteins, vitamins A, B, E
and mineral salt and are so beautiful!
Of
course there are many kind of eggs: different sizes, different colours,
different tastes, depending on the chicken type and diet (we are what we eat..)
The
best it would be to use fresh eggs of your area free-range chicken, of which
you know the quality, otherwise you should
look at the symbol on your eggs box to be sure you are buying first
category eggs.
The
Italian Chef who amaze me with his eggs
recipes is Carlo Cracco.
In
particular one of his “1000” ways of
cooking eggs is my favourite: simple,
yummy, gorgeous, and surprising.
I use
it in my following recipe. Hope you like!
