Choux pastry is deceptively simple to make, and very rewarding, since the different shapes that can be created from it look spectacular!

A large poached egg contains 70 calories (297kJ), 5g total fat and 1,5g saturated fat, while a large egg scrambled in butter contains 102 calories (427kJ), 7,4g total fat and 2,2g saturated fat. An egg fried in butter contains slightly less kilojoules and fat than a scrambled egg, but still more than poached or boiled eggs.
