serves two

Controversial opinion, but breakfast is probably my favourite meal of the day and arguably should be a source of enjoyment rather than simply fuel. In light of this, I am also presenting you with a flashy weekend breakfast/ brunch recipe for when we have a bit more time on our hands.

Ingredients:

• 4 crumpets (shop bought or homemade if you are feeling particularly ambitious)

• 2 eggs

• 125ml milk/plant-based milk alternative (I prefer oat milk but any type will suffice)

• 1 Tsp vanilla extract

• Knob of butter/splash of light sunflower oil/splash of vegetable oil

Topping ideas:

• Banana coins, maple syrup and chopped pecan nuts

• Frozen berries, Greek yoghurt and cinnamon

• Grated Cheddar cheese and Marmite

Method:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk and vanilla and whisk together well with a fork.

2. Pour the mixture into a dish or baking tray and lay all four crumpets into the mix.

3. Leave the crumpets to soak for two minutes on each side.

4. Put your frying pan on a medium heat and allow the butter or oil to melt until it starts to spit from the pan. Place your crumpets into the pan and pour any excess egg mixture around the edges of the crumpets. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Be careful as you flip them!

5. Dish up and add toppings of choice.

It is as simple as that! I hope that these recipes brighten up your mornings and start that productive morning routine off the right way.
