Egg and Spinach Prosciutto Cups

These beautiful little breakfast cups are basically bacon and egg but with a delicious hit of iron. I make a couple for me and Paul or a trayful for house guests.

Danish Breakfast

Danish Breakfast is one of my favourite meals over Christmas. It’s so flavourful whilst also being packed full of protein, fibre, iron and omega-3.

Mincemeat and Orange Hotcakes

Nigel Slater’s classic Mincemeat Hotcakes are a festive staple in our house. I love them for breakfast or with a cup of spiced tea for elevenses.

Brown Flour Maple Pancakes

I love brown self-raising flour because it gets more fibre into these delicious pancakes. I keep them light by whisking the egg white into a bubble-filled foam.

Nothing is more radiant at a breakfast table than homemade lemon curd. This sweet and tart spread is easy to make it just needs some gentle whisking.

Bacon Wrapped Potato Cake

Bacon wrapped potato cake is fun to make delicious to eat. I make it as a weekday meal then fry any leftovers and serve with an egg for breakfast… double win.
