Forget the chocolates, cancel the chrysanthemums. Aussie mums say a simple ‘thank you’ and spending time with the family is the best gift they could receive on Mother’s Day.
In the lead up to May 10, Australian Eggs has created two new recipes for delicious, café-style brekkies that are easy to prepare at home for a relaxed breakfast in bed:
Poached Eggs with Avocado and Feta Smash on Sourdough
Chorizo, Tomato and Feta Pan Omelette
A simple way to show mum your appreciation, both dishes combine classic flavours with protein packed eggs to kick-off a fun day of celebrations.

2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp chopped dill
100g cherry tomatoes, chopped
8 eggs
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 thick slices sourdough bread

4. Reduce the heat, to the water, to a simmer. Carefully slide in the egg.
5. Repeat this process with remaining eggs.
