Don’t crack up at dinner time, crack into some eggs, with Ellie Taylor’s family meal ideas

British actor and comedian, Ellie Taylor, may be one of the nation’s most familiar TV faces – but she still has to handle the parenting juggle and the daily test of kid’s teatime!

Mum of two, Ellie, is working with British Lion eggs to show how family mealtimes don’t need to be frantic, with one of her favourite staples – eggs.  

Ellie has shared three exclusive recipes that are every parent’s solution to giving even the fussiest children a meal packed with nutrients and flavours both parents and kids will love. 

No need to be a ‘supermum’ or ‘superdad’ to make these meals. 

Quick, easy and versatile to cook with – eggs are also packed with high quality protein and important vitamins such as vitamin D, and minerals such as omega-3 fats. 
 
They’re also safe to eat runny or raw - even by vulnerable groups like babies and pregnant women – as long as they have the British Lion mark, which guarantees the highest food safety standards.
