If you’d like to pick up one small egg cake during the film, the individually wrapped Bolletje Brosse egg cakes with a milk coating could be a good choice; according to Jumbo, each cake weighs around 15.5 g. If you’d rather enjoy a larger, soft egg cake, compare standard and wholemeal options by portion size and nutritional values. If you need a gluten-free egg cake, check the other allergens listed on the packaging too.
An individually wrapped egg cake makes it easy to set out one piece without taking the rest out of a larger pack. According to Jumbo, Bolletje Brosse egg cakes with a milk coating are individually wrapped and weigh around 15.5 g each.
A standard or wholemeal pack could suit you if a 30 g cake is a better fit for your snack break. Compare the portion size and nutritional values for the exact variety; Albert Heijn lists 30 g portions for its standard egg cakes.
Look for a product specifically sold as gluten-free, and read the full allergen information too. For Gluten Free Bakery Holland’s egg cakes, Jumbo lists egg, milk and soya among the allergens.
First, decide what size portion you’d like to enjoy during the film. Then compare the nutritional information for the options that suit you and check the packaging for any allergens.
