It always amazes me how busy my family is when summer arrives. School may be out for two months, but our schedule doesn’t seem to slow down at all!
In fact, with three boys in the house every day, I need quick and easy weekday meal solutions more than ever.
That’s why I’ve started making sure that I always have Burnbrae Farms Naturegg Simply Egg Whites in my fridge to help with those weekday challenges.
These egg whites are fully pasteurized, making them perfect for everything from smoothies to royal icing. And with just a few added ingredients, they make a great healthy meal!
Even though most people think eggs equal breakfast, we love having egg dishes for other meals, whether that’s in a Bacon Egg Salad Wrap or a batch of Tuna Salad Deviled Eggs. And for an easy lunch or even light dinner, a Greek Egg White Omelet Roll is quick to whip up and has a flavour the whole family loves.
With just 245 calories per serving and 20 grams of protein, it gives me the energy I need to tackle the busiest days!
Making it is as simple as whisking together Burnbrae Farms Naturegg Simply Egg White with milk, pouring the egg whites into a pan and sprinkling on our favourite Greek toppings. After baking for half an hour, I have a healthy omelet that feeds the whole family.
And while I like this high protein, vegetarian version of baked omelet, there are infinite variations to try as well!
Sprinkle on ham, green pepper and cheddar cheese for a heartier, meatier version. Or try crumbled bacon with diced tomato and mozzarella.
Having Burnbrae Farms Naturegg Simply Egg Whites in the fridge has been so handy for all kinds of my favourite recipes. I love how easy the liquid egg whites make adding lean protein to different meals!
From breakfast wraps to meringues, Burnbrae Farms Naturegg Simply Egg Whites are such a versatile product to have in the fridge for quick meals and desserts. Grab a carton and try whipping up this easy Greek Omelet Roll to see how simply weekday meals can be!

Our favourite breakfast or quick meal is called Egg in a Frame. Lightly butter a piece of bread and then cut out a circle in the centre, leaving a frame around it. Place the ‘frame’ in a fry pan over medium heat as well as the cut-out centre. Put a pat of butter in the opening and when melted, crack an egg into the opening and top with salt and pepper to taste. When bottom is browned and egg is partially cooked, flip over and cook to desired level of firmness. Remember to flip the cut-out centre.
Serve with centre on side – it is always the first piece to get eaten.
I love making quiche and slicing it up into wedges for easy breakfasts throughout the week!
I love fried egg sandwiches with cheese for breakfast in the morning.
We love a good quiche with lots of broccoli and cheese. Leftovers are great for my lunches too.
Simple scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese is a favourite in the mornings at my house, with some rye toast on the side!
I am a big fan of frittatas. I can add in all kinds of different ingredients and use up different leftovers of veggies or meat.
Poached Eggs easy to make.
Make ahead cheesy bacon mini frittatas are my favourite!
My grandson, the little chef, loves eggs and likes to prepare them in various ways especially whisking and thinking of new ideas like adding cheese, veggies.
My go to is egg-in-a-hole toast. I like bake them in a sheet pan – that way I can fit enough for everyone in one go.
