Eggs are eggactly what you need – especially when they are in this eggciting little dessert. They are a great source of high quality protein, they contain 13 essential vitamins and minerals, all nine essential amino acids, selenium, phosphorus, riboflavin, lutein and choline. Silk tofu has many of the same properties as eggs, it also contains protein, essential amino acids, selenium and phosphorus. Eggs have definitely laid their goodness in these eggceedingly tasty layers.
