Egg Puff Pastry Recipe + NestFresh Eggs Giveaway!!

   nestfresh giveawayegg puffs 2

When it comes to talking about eggs, I  remember a happy ad  jingle ringing in my head. Growing up in India, we used to hear a popular ad jingle in Hindi on TV promoting eggs,  like  the “Got Milk“ campaign in US….”Sunday ho ya Monday, roz khao Anday” (Be it Sunday or Monday, Eat Eggs Everyday).  Ardently believing in that philosophy, we do eat a lot of eggs on a regular basis, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack!

Egg is a great and easy source of protein and energy which we can add to our diets. And if we are eating a good quality egg we know we are eating right.

These days when we are aware of the ill effects of genetically modified food, hormones, chemicals and processed food, people are going back to the farms, shopping organic produce and diary, scouting farmers markets,  organic gardening, cooking and  eating  only pure forms of food.

So when Nestfresh offered me to check out and review their cage free organic eggs, I welcomed the opportunity to   adopt organic eggs in our diet.  Today you  can enter their free giveaway offer to try out a month’s supply of Nestfresh organic eggs with an accessories gift package.( rules below)nestfreshgiveaway2

Nestfresh believes in making the most wholesome and natural organic eggs from cage free humanely grown chickens, accessible across America. Hence its using regional, family owned farms  which are certified cage free to provide  eggs to us,  that satisfy our conscience. NestFresh eggs are certified cage free, natural, organic, eggs with no hormones, no antibiotics and chemicals.  These eggs are farm fresh from cage free humanely grown chickens on a vegetarian non GMO diet!

I used these eggs to make my favorite sunny side up eggs, our kids favorite scrambled eggs,  my husband’s favorite soft boiled eggs (http://hotsweetspicyrecipes.com/how-to-boil-an-egg-science-not-an-art/), French Toast, savory Bombay toast, spicy omelets for breakfast or these days for Saher/ eating before sunrise in Ramadan.  Each time we made the Nestfresh eggs, they were delicious in taste and flavor besides being rich and pure in form.

Today I am adding a recipe for quick and easy eggs puff pastries snack I make often as appetizer, finger food in parties, with tea time, or perfect filling snack  we can eat at Iftar or breaking of the fast at sunset in Ramadan.

Heat oil in a pan, add sliced onion, and saute  onion  till its  starts to turn golden brown, add red pepper powder, turmeric, cumin  and salt and the split boiled eggs. Sauté on both sides to let the eggs have a spicy flavor along with the red onions. I prefer to caramelize the red onions because the yellow onions can get sweet. But you can also skip the onions and just sauté the eggs with the spices as variation too.
