I’m a massive breakfast fan, and why wouldn’t I be? It speeds up your metabolism, gets your brain going and gives you fuel to endure your day.

The humble muesli will always be an easy staple. Just add milk or yoghurt and you’re good to go. Yet who wouldn’t want to wake up to a moorish weekend-like treat of a  warm, yummy egg breakfast on a weekday? The snooze button and the mad rush to get ready make the prep and cook time unappealing for most. Don’t we already have enough to do just get out the door in the morning you ask? absolutely, and that’s why I like to make a frittata the night before. It’s quick and easy to  pre-pair and can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days. Simply ditch the biscuity base and you have yourself a pretty low carb breakfast option.
