Eggs in Clouds

Never one to shy away from an Instagram food trend, I tried my hand at Eggs in Clouds this week.

The making is fairly simple: you separate the eggs, whipping the whites in to clouds which you bake briefly — 7ish minutes, so I'm told — and then add the yolks for another short flash in the oven — 3ish minutes, apparently. I chose to fully embrace the hipster food trends, and serve mine along side mashed avocado, sour dough toast, halloumi and grilled tomatoes on the vine, all of which, frankly, were by far the better elements on the plate.

Banana Pancakes (Three Ingredient Recipe)

It's January and I'm trying to eat healthier. I had some over-ripe bananas to use up, and it felt like a great time to test out one of Buzzfeed's three ingredient recipes: banana pancakes!

For a quick and easy, healthy pancake alternative, they were fuss free and pretty tasty. Would I make these again? Sure. Will I never want to make a full stack of American style pancakes again? Not a chance!

Recipe:

• 2 bananas (mashed)
• 2 eggs (whisked)
• a dash of cinnamon

Plus your choice of toppings to serve: I went with pecans and maple syrup

The method is easy enough, mash the banana, whisk in the eggs, add a dash of cinnamon and fry til golden and fluffy. It's not even worth breaking down in to steps. 

Buzzfeed says one banana to two eggs, but I had small bananas and large eggs (no giggling please), and the resulting batter looked a little thin, so went two-to-two. I actually only needed half of that mix for one portion, so feel free to adapt as you see fit.
