Pro Cheer Nutrition: Try These Delicious Ways to Enjoy Eggs
Start your pro cheer day with protein-rich egg recipes!
Eggs are a staple for pro cheerleaders because they are nutritious, and it doesn't take much time to cook them. They contain vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, making them great for a healthy diet.
In addition, eggs are rich in proteins and fatty acids that provide enough energy throughout your pro cheer day! They’re also inexpensive and very versatile in the kitchen. You can cook them by simply boiling, steaming, or frying. You can also complement them with other ingredients to make them more enjoyable to eat.
Explore these different ways pro cheerleaders can cook eggs at home.
1. Egg Salad
One of the classic yet creative ways to enjoy your eggs is by making a simple egg salad!
You just need eggs and seasonings. First, cook 6 hard-boiled eggs. For the seasoning, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp mustard, 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp ground pepper, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Add some celery or scallions to amp up the taste of the seasoning. Mix everything using a spatula and adjust to taste.
This dish can be eaten in 4 servings, containing around 214 calories per serving. You can eat the egg salad plain or serve it on a sandwich or with a lettuce cup.
2. Avocado Toast Topped with Egg
Avocado toasts are popular for younger generations who want to focus on their physical wellness because avocados are high in fiber and healthy fats. They’re also perfect when topped with eggs!
To make avocado toast, mash some avocados with pepper and garlic powder. Then, top a bread toast with the avocado mixture and fried or poached egg. Finally, garnish it with some sriracha or scallion if you like.
3. Breakfast Tacos
Do you want tacos for breakfast? This recipe is very savory, and you can make it for only 30 minutes! You just need scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, some cheese, green onion, and a warm tortilla.
To make the breakfast tacos, place your bacon in your oven at 200C for 18-20 minutes or until crispy. Then, saute the green onion with olive oil. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then put it in the pan with the green onion. Assemble your breakfast tacos by adding the scrambled egg and crispy bacon to a tortilla. Sprinkle them with some cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
4. Frittata
Also called an "egg pizza," the frittata is a simple Italian dish with many variations. You can make an all-veggie version or add some meat or seafood. You can pack them for your lunch or bring some slices during training.
To make a frittata in four servings, you first need to whisk 8 eggs with 1/2 cup water, fresh herbs, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Then spray a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with cooking oil. Heat the skillet over medium heat and saute the filling ingredients, which can be chopped veggies, meat, seafood, or a combination of the three. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for about 8-to minutes. Finally, sprinkle some cheese over the top and cook it under a preheated broiler for a couple of minutes.
Conclusion
These are just some of the many ways to cook your eggs. And they’re healthy no matter how you cook them. Now, all that’s left is to focus on enjoying your food and having a healthy day ahead!
