Funny, I only first heard or Bircher muesli a week ago and here it is again!

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.

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

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!

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:

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!

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 .

chinacup

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 :)

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!

homemadecider

Warm bread fresh from the oven with eggs, mayo & fresh dill. 3 cups of tea.

Simple omelette - eggs, milk, s&p and LOTS of paprika - with a banana and a cup of Barry's. Lush.

Alun

Toasted sesame bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon and two runny poached eggs.

Lobster claw eggs benedict with a tarragon hollandaise.



I overseasoned the hollandaise slightly, but other than that it went perfectly. I'm really getting the hang of butter sauces.

Bran flakes and a cup of coffee. SO exciting.

The Hill Billy

Half a melon, then coffee & butter gipfli (Swiss croissants).

Same breakfast as every Sunday full irish consisting of 3 sausages, 3 smoked rashers, white pudding, scrambled eggs, fresh and plum tomates, mushrooms, beans, hash browns, a potato cake, coffee orange juice and toast sets up the whole day but definitely a once a week thing

Faith

Thanks all! Today's breakfast was a gorgeous sausage roll and the best doughnut I've ever eaten. We're in holiday mode for a bit so bad breakfasts like that are allowed .

iwantmydinner

Besta luck with the move Faith!

My favorite breakfast by far, unless I'm back on the aul sod, then its a full Irish

Pang

Scrambled eggs with grilled thyme tomatoes on granary bread. Nice start to the day.

Gloomtastic!

Sausage and pickled cabbage sandwich.

Roesy

Shared a weetabix and some blueberries, strawberries and grapes with the baby. Going for a run in a bit, will probably have poached egg on an English muffin after that.

Levitating breakfast!
Looks fantastic.

Breakfast was a slice of cold pizza followed by a marshmallow crispy square from the cupcake bloke. Was excellent!

fiddlechic

Poached eggs on avocado/lime/salt/pepper on sourdough toast. With a "lidl" nespresso latte - trying to use these up, bought a load of them in a fit of money-saving-madness, and they're just not that nice - a big milky latte only way to "hide" the taste!
