    I'm about to have 3 jumbo sausages, 2 slices of buttery brown toast, 2 fried eggs, some streaky bacon and 2 pieces of pudding (chubb sized). Finished with a bag of Snax and strong tea

    A variation of Swiss Bircher - 30g oats, 85g Greek yoghurt, 100ml milk, 2 tsp golden syrup left in the fridge overnight then berries on top in the morning. I know this sounds overly dramatic but this breakfast is a bit of a life-changer for me. I generally wouldn't eat breakfast or would eat an unhealthy one, now I'm having a super healthy one (apart from the golden syrup which I'll change out for honey once my huge bottle runs out), and I love it!

    I need to get on this - I'm a disaster for breakfast. Sounds delicious

    I have been doing this for the last few weeks too, except I have been liquidising a banana in a cup of almond milk and adding it to the oats, then adding some linseeds and other assorted seeds in the morning. It is pretty good and dead easy, portable breakfast. I can't imagine doing it in the winter though.

    Bowl of cornflakes and soya milk.

    Gordon Ramsey is ****ting himself with fear.

    That sounds delicious! I think I'll keep it up in winter because I don't like porridge at all usually - but it's a different consistency this way so I'm loving it!

    I don't much like porridge normally either - got to say that is like having pudding for breakfast!

    My new favourite breakfast: this is just regular porridge made with almond milk and a banana mashed up before cooking with a shake of cinnamon served with some strawberries on top which are mainly for decorative reasons :o

    Do you just mix all these ingredients together? Sorry, it's maybe a stupid question but I was thinking wouldn't it be all soggy in the morning?

    Yep mix them up, put in the fridge and eat in the morning. The oats swell up and absorb most of the moisture so there's no 'spare' liquid in the bowl or anything - but yes the oats have softened

    Sounds good! Must try it! :-)

    The Swiss usually have their Bircher muesli with a slice of brown bread on the side. God only knows why, but they do. Crazy foreigners! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,057 ✭✭✭MissFlitworth


    Sausage burger, fried egg (I got the only photogenic egg, the rest were a mess, because of my issue with taking pictures of my breakfast) & pumpkin seed bread. Looks a bit anaemic but it was lovely

    Ah, Sunday.

    I've taken to making breakfast muffins, and have got the recipe tasting pretty good.

    150g self raising flour
    150g muesli
    80g brown sugar
    100g grated carrot
    80ml olive oil
    2 eggs
    Some extra dried fruit (raisins, mixed peel, crystalised ginger) (going to try some dried cherries in the next batch)
    1tsp cinnamon
    0.5tsp ground ginger
    1.5tsp linseeds

    mix it all up, divide between 6 muffin tins and bake at about 220C for about 20 mins. A tasty brekkie on the go.

    I christen thee (after the fact) Om-a-nom-elette!

    Jamie Oliver the perfect omelette + milk, cheese, baby tomatoes, ham.

    Fried in butter, YOM!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭Conmaicne Mara


    Another Om-a-nom-elette this morning, took a lovely mid cooking photo, fumbled the "smart" phone and touch deleted it by mistake just now !

    Baby spinach leaves, quartered cherry tomatoes, shredded ham, white cheddar, meant to put in basil leaves too but forgot!

    Even more delicious this time tbh.

    Crab cakes, poached eggs, hollandaise. Thank you, Liberty Grill! I was too hungry to even think about taking pictures :).

    Accidental berry cream (I was attempting a smoothie with my budget food processor) with pancakes and berry reduction with some hot chocolate powder sprinkled on top.. Mmmm :):)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,057 ✭✭✭MissFlitworth


    Sausage sandwich. Was nice. Then I had a craving for something sweet so made a marshmallow & nutella pancake using a premade Lidl 'American' pancake. Good stodge!
