I'm not sure where I got this recipe but it's good for a change of pace.
take 1 slice of bread and toast it lightly;
Put it on a small baking pan;
top the toasted bread with 1/2 cup of either ricotta cheese or cottage cheese.
add enough blueberries to cover the cheese [frozen or fresh, both work]
add sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut to suit your taste;
Put the baking pan in a broiler for about 3-5 minutes [depending on how much you like it warm and browned]
Eat and enjoy;
Calories totally depend on what you pick and how much you use for bread, cheese, blueberries & coconut,
It's a yummy alternative to traditional bkfsts.

yogurt bowls are high in protein and healthy, not to mention easy to prepare- here's my go-to:
siggy's icelandic skyr vanilla yogurt
homemade granola (oats with oil and syrup toasted over skillet until crunchy)
frozen strawberries
banana
almond butter
pine nuts
drizzle of honey

Not a breakfast per se but recently I have been straining my greek yogurt for 24 hours through a Muslin cloth. It ends up thick like whipped double cream and filling so not so much needed. I can highly recommend this as either breakfast or as a treat at the end of the evening. Handful of berries a spoon of this thick 'n' creamy yogurt and some crushed pecans/seeds, well worth the effort. xx2

Homemade Baked Beans - serves 2 or 3
Fry small diced white onion with 2 cloves garlic in 1 tbs olive oil. Till starting to brown - about 2 -3 mins.
Add handful fresh herb - thyme for me. Add 1/2 tbs of wholegrain mustard, 250mls stock - veg or chicken, 40 gms tomato purée and 1 can (400gms) of white beans - haricot or cannelloni. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 15 - 20 mins.
This recipe was given to me by a work colleague recently.
Be warned though - you don’t go back to the convenience of tinned backed beans after this 🤣🤣🤣3 -
This one from the Andalusia (olive growing) area of Spain: toasted table bread with grated tomato, olive oil and salt. It's amazing with cappuccino.3

I like my low-carb breakfast burritos .... (recipe makes 6 burritos)
3 x Italian sausage links
6 x Large Eggs
6 x Low carb tortillas / wraps
180g shredded cheddar cheese.
Remove skins from Italian sausages, fry sausage mince and separate into 6 portions.
Add some water to the eggs and whisk, cook as omelets in the oil left from italian sausages. Cut into six strip-shaped portions
On tortillas / wraps, place one portion of italian sausage mince, one portion of omelet strips, 30g of shredded cheese.
Wrap contents in tortillas, wrap each tortilla separately in kitchen paper or similar and refrigerate or freeze.
These can be microwaved for breakfast, but I prefer them heated in a sandwich press - still in paper wrap (the cheese will melt.)
Cals (per burrito): 358
Fat 24g
Protein 22g
Carbs 4g
(You can reduce the fat content to 18g and the calories to 314 by choosing low-fat cheese)

This is what I had most days for breakfast growing up (I'm northern Spanish), also sprinkling the prepared toast as above with cumin/basil and adding some cured Iberian ham on top! Plus a side of fruit...delicious!2 -
Just bought a microwave egg poacher - worked great. Two poached eggs on sausage rounds (Greenfield Natural Meat Co from Costco) topped with the Chinese Siracha sauce - yum. Protein 31g, 37gFat, 1gCarb (going Keto)2

Banana Pancakes
(Small pancakes similar in size to crepes) - Total Calories - 249
This is 1 serving.
1 medium banana (ripe) 105 Calories
2 Whole eggs - 144
A few drops of vanilla extract
Beat eggs and mash banana separately with a fork. Add the mashed banana into the eggs. Add a few drops of vanilla extract.
Using a tablespoon, add 2 table spoons of the mixture to make one pancake. Wait until the pancakes look cooked mostly cooked on top and very gently flip with a thin spatula.
Be sure not to do an aggressive flip like you would with a normal pancake. I get about 7 mini pancakes out of the mixture. Keeping the pancakes small in size is key. This method works well for me and I don't need to add syrup or anything else. Enjoy!

Energy Bites!
- Peanut Butter
- Rolled Oats
- Flax/Chia Seeds
- Chocolate Chips
- Honey
Mix all the ingredients together - I don't really measure; I go by taste, consistency, and the number of portions I want to make. Using a table spoon, make into balls. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper and chill. One or two of these are sweet and satisfying! Good for dessert/car rides/outdoor events as well as a quick grab and go breakfast option you can make ahead3
