Quick & Easy Breakfast Ideas

Hi Im a single mum to a demanding 3 year old & also up early every morning for work. Im looking for quick, 'grab & go' breakfast ideas that fills me until dinner time & is also low carb.

At the moment I eat 2 slices of toast on the way out the door but really wanting to swap this for something healthier.

Thanks in advance
 
Hi - how about Greek yoghurt & nuts, cheeses, 9 bars..... I made the crustless quiches last weekend in a 12 hole cake tin & had a couple for brekkie whilst sorting kiddies! They were delish. You could make them the day before.
 
Hiya Rrar,
What I like is mini crustless quiches. I bake them in advance on a Sunday night and keep them in the fridge. I make mini ones, cause it means I can change the fillings. Their also lovely heated up in the oven - but I'm lazy and I have to leave for work early so I eat it in the car on my way to work. Its my go-to breakfast Monday to Friday..
 
Thanks both, do you have a recipe for the crust less quiches? Im not a very good cook so the more simple the better haha
 
Hey Rrar, when I do mine I shot anything in them lol beat some eggs put any meat/veggies in and cheese on top. I either make 1 big one or loads of little ones like Kezzer said they keep well in the fridge for a few days I have them for breakfast & snacks, the cheesier the better for me as well lol x
 
Thank you, will have to look up how to make quiche im a useless cook & lazy with it too, not a good combo for a diabetic lol but im getting better!
 
Haha literally crack some eggs in a bowl, beat them, chuck other things in, pour mixture into whatever you're baking it in and put cheese on top, soooo easy (one of main reasons I do it haha) xx

Hi Rrar, Here is the one I use:

3 eggs
7oz cheese grated
1/4 pt of milk
7oz of bacon
1 small onion
1oz butter

Finely chop the onion and chop the bacon and fry in the butter
While they are cooking beat the eggs and milk, then add the grated cheese, season and mix together
Put the bacon and onions into a flan dish and top with the cheese,egg & milk mix

Cook at 200 degrees (180 if fan assisted) for 20-25 mins until set - it may take longer depending on your oven

That's the basic recipe - I swap the milk for double cream and swap the bacon for whatever I fancy... At the moment I am liking ham or salami. I use a silicon large muffin tray (does 6 in total) which I got from Amazon - this mixture makes 4 quiches. I also cook mine twice, because I like mine a bit firmer. So once they have cooled down so I can take them out of the tray - I stick them back in the oven on a low heat for 15 mins.

I keep them in the fridge and eat mine cold.... Although they are nice reheated also
 
Cheers kezzer
