Indulgent Hazelnut and Almond Fingers

An Egg-citing Sunny Queen Recipe Perfect for Easter

As much as we love the excuse of eating chocolate at Easter every year, the season is also very much about eggs, and not just the chocolate kind!

Eggs are a key part of Easter celebrations; whether it be for egg hunts or shell decorating, but as one of the most versatile and healthy natural foods on the planet, free-range eggs can be a scrumptious and egg-quisite addition to your Easter celebration menu.

 

When choosing your Free Range eggs, make sure you select Sunny Queen's Free Range eggs, because not all free range eggs are the same. At only 1500 hens per hectare, the Sunny Queen chooks have six times more space to play all year round compared to most other free range hens.

Sunny Queen Farms' Managing Director, John O'Hara says: "Eggs are so versatile and easy to use, whether your menu includes hot cross buns or meringue for afternoon tea, eggs can fit in anywhere during the Easter meal."
