Ireland: ‘Cracking Great Recipe’ from Cork wins national competition.

Regina Murphy from Cork has won a national search to find Ireland’s Best ‘Cracking Great Value Egg Recipe’. The competition was organised by Bord Bia as part of the campaign to promote eggs as a great value, versatile and nutritious option at meal times. Entrants submitted their recipe using eggs as the main ingredient to feed a family of four for €10 or less. Regina’s prize for her winning recipe ‘Baked Stuffed Mushrooms Topped with Poached Egg and Cheese’ includes €2000 to spend on cooking equipment and having her recipe professionally made, photographed and published on www.eggs.ie.

The recipe is easy to make and the judging panel found it very tasty.  It consists of large flat mushrooms stuffed with bacon, breadcrumbs and garlic, topped with cheese and a poached egg and served with a crispy salad and crusty bread.

“We were delighted with the response to this competition. The recipes submitted demonstrate the huge range of dishes that can be cooked with eggs at a very reasonable cost and to suit all tastes,” said Teresa Brophy from Bord Bia.  “Eggs are packed with goodness and we want to encourage people to eat more eggs and try cooking them in lots of different ways.  Regina’s recipe shows how you can make a delicious meal with a difference for a family in less than 20 minutes that costs just €6-8.”

The winning recipes from this competition are featured on www.eggs.ie along with nutrition information about eggs and lots of other great recipes.
