Ingredients

  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 80 ml reduced fat milk (2 1/2 floz/ 1/3 cup)

Method

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, chives and dill in a small bowl.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the egg mixture and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the eggs start to set around the edges. Using a wooden spatula, gently fold the eggs over, then repeat the folding process until the eggs are just cooked. The eggs should be quite soft.

COOK’S TIP: One of the most important changes you can make to lower the GI of your diet is to choose a low GI bread. Choose a grainy bread, pumpernickel bread, sourdough or a stoneground wholemeal bread.

Good carbohydrates (or low GI carbohydrates) are more slowly digested helping keep your blood sugars stable, whereas bad carbohydrates cause your blood glucose levels to peak and crash.
