More than just your usual breakfast: delicious ideas to try this week
On weekdays, when the alarm goes off early and time is short, a change of breakfast helps you start off feeling more energized and less monotonous.
A week of breakfasts to discover
When mornings are tight and the week is packed, a different breakfast is a great way to change things up. Here you'll find sweet and savory ideas, creamy or crunchy, with brioche bread, oat flakes, chia seeds, and tortillas. Four recipes to alternate daily to bring variety to your first meal of the day.
French toast
French toast is made by dipping slices of brioche bread in a mixture of eggs, milk, cinnamon, and salt, then browning them in butter. You can garnish them with blueberry jam, a cube of butter, and a pinch of cinnamon.
Porridge
Porridge is a sweet oatmeal soup made by cooking oat flakes in water, milk, and honey until they reach a smooth consistency. You can garnish it with yogurt, strawberries, maple syrup, and dark chocolate shavings, or choose from the other combinations suggested in the recipe.
Smart tip: If you prefer a creamy texture, choose extra-fine rolled oats; if you use whole oats, soak them overnight.
Chia pudding
Chia pudding is a pudding made with chia seeds steeped in liquid until it reaches a creamy consistency. You can garnish and enrich it with the combinations suggested in the recipe.
Smart tip: You can replace the almond milk with rice milk and flavor the chia mixture with ground cinnamon.
Mexican breakfast
Mexican Breakfast is a savory option featuring tortillas with cheddar, black beans, cherry tomatoes, chili pepper, spring onion, and guacamole. You can top the dish with crumbled feta and a fried egg, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Smart tip: You can enrich your breakfast with roast turkey breast or roasted porchetta and add a few drops of Tabasco.
