EMBRACE TIP:

Pair eggs with other nutritious ingredients for a balanced dish. Serve eggs with whole grains like whole wheat bread and cook eggs with healthy sources of fat like olive oil.

Each month, our Great Performances menus feature seasonal ingredients. It’s our way of celebrating the earth and bringing our special touch to every menu.

This month, we’re celebrating eggs with this gorgeous zucchini and sage strata recipe. We love eggs as an incredibly versatile source of protein, rich in vitamins and minerals. It’s also a great cooking aid as it can leaven dishes, add a silky quality to drinks, and brings ingredients together.
