10 fast fruit breakfasts
continued from page 1
French Toast is an exciting way to eat your daily bread. For one serving, mix a large egg or two small ones with a spoonful of milk or cream. Whisk together until blended. Melt a little butter in a frying pan, dip a piece of bread in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are covered by mix, and fry until set. Turn over and cook the other side until set and light golden brown. Top with fresh fruit, poached fruit or berries.
This is a perfect autumn or winter breakfast. In a bowl, mix a spoonful of butter or margarine, brown sugar and raisins. Add a pinch of cinnamon for flavour. Next, remove the core from your favourite kind of apple. Fill the centre with the mixture and bake at 350F/180C/gas mark 4 for about 30 minutes or until soft. Top with cream cheese or cottage cheese.
Buy pre-made crêpes and freeze with some parchment or waxed paper in-between each crêpe. Take one or two out (depending on your appetite) and thaw overnight. Alternatively, defrost on the morning you want to eat them, in a microwave oven or in a frying pan with a little butter. Heat up and fill with fruit, preserves and cottage cheese.
This classic comfort food may also be made in advance and eaten during the week. Take 6 apples, then core, peel and cut them into chunks. Add a handful of raisins and 115ml apple juice. Bring to a boil and simmer until cooked. A spoonful of lemon juice will enhance the flavour. Spice up this recipe by adding cinnamon, ginger and a dash of sugar.
Empty a large container of yoghurt into a bowl and mix in 115ml orange juice, 1 tsp vanilla and 100g fluid honey (to taste). Then, finely grate the skin of the orange into the mixture. Sprinkle some dried coconut, chopped nuts, raisins and dates on each serving.
