What is Boiled egg with herbs?
Boiled egg with herbs is a simply cooked egg served with fresh herbs such as parsley, dill or chives. It is more a flexible way of preparing and serving eggs than a dish tied to one particular place: the herbs are usually added after cooking, rather than boiled with the egg.
Serve it halved or sliced, with a little pepper, on toast or alongside salad and vegetables. It works for breakfast, a quick lunch or a portable snack in many kitchens. The egg provides high-quality protein and is a source of choline and vitamin B12, while contributing very little carbohydrate. For a lighter plate, use herbs and lemon for flavour instead of adding much oil or a rich sauce.
