Breakfast Recipes

Egg & Bacon Omelette
Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs

  • 2 rashers of bacon, chopped

  • Diced fresh tomatoes (optional)

  • A splash of milk or water

  • A little butter or oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: grated cheese, chopped chives or spring onions

Instructions:

  1. Fry the chopped bacon in a non-stick pan until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  2. Whisk the eggs with milk or water, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  3. Heat the pan with the bacon fat (or add a little butter/oil) over medium heat.

  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.

  5. As the edges of the omelette set, gently push the cooked egg towards the centre, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

  6. Sprinkle the cooked bacon (and cheese/chives if using) over one half of the omelette.

  7. Fold the omelette in half.

  8. Cook for another minute until the filling is heated through and the cheese (if using) is melted.

  9. Slide onto a plate and enjoy!

Tips for Success:

  • Don't overcook the eggs – you want them to be slightly soft in the middle.

  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelette from sticking.

  • Adjust the fillings to your liking.

Enjoy your quick and easy bacon and egg omelette!

Simple Stovetop Oats

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup rolled oats (not instant)

  • 1 cup milk or water (or a mix)

  • Pinch of salt (optional, but enhances flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk or water, and salt (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency (creamy or slightly looser).

  4. Remove from the heat and let it sit for a minute or two.

  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings (fruit, nuts, honey, etc.).

Tips:

  • For creamier oats: Use milk instead of water.

  • Don't boil too vigorously: This can make the oats tough or cause them to stick.

  • Adjust liquid for consistency: Use slightly less liquid for thicker oats, slightly more for thinner oats.

  • Stirring is key: It helps prevent sticking and promotes even cooking.

Enjoy your simple and comforting bowl of oats!

Fluffy pancakes

  • 100g plain flour

  • 2 eggs

  • 250ml milk

Quick Yogurt Parfait

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup natural yogurt (Greek or Regular)

  • ½ cup granola

  • ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Instructions:

  1. In a glass or bowl, layer half of the yogurt.

  2. Top with half of the granola.

  3. Add half of the fresh berries.

  4. Repeat the layers: yogurt, granola, berries.

Tips:

  • Get creative with layers: You can add other fruits like sliced banana or chopped apple.

  • Use different types of granola: Experiment with different flavours and textures.

  • Make it ahead: Assemble the parfaits a few hours in advance and keep them refrigerated. The granola might soften slightly.

  • Vegan option: Use a plant-based yogurt alternative.

Waffle with Natural Yogurt

Ingredients:

  • 1 cooked waffle (freshly made or reheated)

  • 2-3 tablespoons natural yogurt (Greek or Regular)

  • Optional toppings: Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a sprinkle of nuts or seeds.

Instructions:

  1. If your waffle is not already warm, gently reheat it according to package instructions or in a toaster.

  2. Place the warm waffle on a plate.

  3. Spoon the natural yogurt over the waffle.

  4. If desired, add your chosen toppings: scatter fresh berries, drizzle with honey or maple syrup, and sprinkle with nuts or seeds.

  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Reheating waffles: A toaster is often the quickest way to reheat them and keep them crispy.

  • Yogurt choice: Greek yogurt will be thicker and tangier than plain natural yogurt.

  • Topping variations: Get creative! You could also use sliced banana, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of fruit compote.

This is a super quick and easy way to enjoy a waffle with a healthy and refreshing topping!
