I have to say, the extra time that most of us have now might be one of the silver linings to living though a global pandemic. I’ve been spending a large amount of this time in the kitchen and I have to say I’m not mad at the results at all. Breakfast has become a whole event in my household, and if you happen to try any of these recipes, you’ll see exactly why.
- Banana Pancake
-
The perfect way to use up bananas that aren’t ripe enough for banana bread but still too ripe to eat- mash them and toss them into some pancake mix!
- The full spread ™
-
You’ve probably had some version of this at your favourite brunch spot, but I doubt it had a name as catchy and inviting as this! There are a lot of different ways to modify it but at its core, it is a savoury-breakfast-lover’s dream: eggs, hashbrowns, sausages/bacon and buttered toast.
- Smoothie bowl
-
This satisfying meal might be the closest thing you’ll get to ice-cream for breakfast (if your blended can manage it).
- Savoury French toast
-
Truth be told, I only made this when I got bored of eating The full spread ™ . It has quickly become a staple though. Pieces of bread are dipped in an egg and milk mixture, topped lightly with shredded cheese, then fried on medium heat till they turn golden brown. *chefs kiss*
- Sweet French toast
-
The classic version we all know and love. Drizzle on some syrup or honey and cut up some fresh fruit to make it even more decadent.
- Chicken and waffles
-
This is the most time-consuming recipe on this list, but also the most fulfilling; sweet and salty is a combination that you can never go wrong with. If you don’t have a waffle-maker, buy premade waffles; this will speed up the cooking process.
