The Incredible, Affordable Egg
Back last fall, when I was writing about money-saving ideas for food during the recession, I mentioned eggs as a good choice for protein for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Compare the cost of two or three eggs to a serving of just about any cut of meat, and you’ll see why it makes sense to eat more eggs when money is tight.
The American Egg Board confirmed that yesterday in a press release I received. It priced out three egg recipes and all of them came out at under $1 a serving.
One is just a “coffee cup scramble” of two eggs and cheese, at 46 cents a serving.
Another is a spinach, ham and cheese omelet, at 98 cents a serving.
The third is apple-cinnamon oatmeal with egg and milk beaten into it to give it a “boost,” at 96 cents a serving.
You can get all those recipes in the recipe section of http://www.incredibleegg.org.
