Simple, and quick, eggs are a great lunch for little ones. They're full of protein, and this dish employs just enough green to make it a healthy and fibrous.
Purple sprouting broccoli changes colour when boiled, which is a fascinating and fun feature of the vegetable. When kids are interested in their food it makes meal times more enjoyable, and turning vegetables into a 'fun' part of the meal, makes 'eating up' a lot easier.
Preparation Time: 2 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 2 servings
Ingredients
2 Egg
2 Sprigs of Purple-sprouting broccoli
Half tsp Black pepper
Half tsp Butter
Double quantities for two children.
Method
Place the eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes.
Wash the broccoli, place in a sieve and put on top of the boiling water (it saves using two pots).
Cook for 5 minutes and cover with a lid.
Remove the lid and show your children how the 'magic' broccoli has changed colour.
Peel the eggs and place on a plate.

Try not to eat the kids eggs before serving
Remove the broccoli from the saucepan, plate up, and season with the butter and pepper.
Serve immediately.

Simple lunch for one bambino
-If you've cooked enough for another mouth why not serve yourself a portion with some cottage cheese on the side too? It's a healthy meal and kids are encouraged to eat their greens when their parents are eating the same meal they are.
