Fritters
Top fritters with eggs to boost the protein and keep your fuller for longer. A runny poached or fried egg on top of a stack of fritters is our favourite way to do it.

Next time you make a terrine or meatloaf, consider adding some parboiled eggs to the centre. Not only is it a great way to add extra nutrients, it makes for a show-stopping slice.
