Scrambled Eggs with Ham & Spring Onions on Toast

Scrambled Eggs with Ham & Spring Onions on Toast

If I had my way, I would have my deluxe breakfast every day, or at least every weekend, but alas, it just isn’t possible. Sometimes we are on a diet, don’t have the time, ran out of bacon or just feel plain lazy so we end up eating it about twice a month. Don’t despair, though. There are other options available that takes a tenth of the time to prepare with very satisfying results. These scrambled eggs are so quick to prepare that you can even prepare it on weekday mornings!

Pumpkin, Almond & Cinnamon Muffins

With entries for this month’s SnackShots streaming in I started feeling a little bit uneasy. It just wouldn’t be kosher for the hostess not to take part as well, right? So here is my entry in all its glory and very healthy indeed.

The potato monster wants her hash browns for breakfast. And not just a tiny ladies’ portion, but a humungous heap of crispy, buttered potatoes sprawling over the plate’s rim. With a groan and a moan he would pop into the shower and then go downstairs to cook our favourite breakfast. Without blinking I would eat his share too if he’s not fast enough. To complete the meal we usually have a few rashers of bacon, eggs fried in olive oil, baked beans and buttery mushrooms. A complete English breakfast. After a hard week’s work we all deserve it, don’t we?
