Hearty frittata, healthy oatmeal in a jar, airy pancakes with honey and five more breakfast options for real gourmets. Minimum cooking time, maximum taste and variety.

1. Frittata

Lush Italian omelet stuffed with vegetables, cheese and ham. Although the main advantage of frittata is that it can be prepared with anything.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs;
• 50 g of cheese;
• 2 slices of ham;
• 100 g broccoli;
• 1 small tomato;
• 1 bell pepper;
• salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

Set the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. At this time, beat the eggs with salt and ground pepper. You can add the cheese right away or sprinkle the finished omelet on top.

Cut vegetables and fry until half cooked. Then add the diced ham and stir in the eggs. Try to spread the filling evenly.

When the eggs have set (this usually takes about 10 minutes), put the frittata in the oven. As soon as the top rises to the edge of the pan, the dish is ready and ready to serve.

2. Cheesecakes

The recipe is so simple that even a beginner can get the taste of cheesecakes from childhood. They can be served with different toppings: sour cream, jam, condensed milk.

Ingredients

• 1 pack of cottage cheese;
• 2 eggs;
• ½ cup flour;
• ½ cup semolina;
• 2 tablespoons of sugar;
• 1 pinch of salt;
• soda on the tip of a knife.

Preparation

Break eggs into a plate of cottage cheese. Add sugar, ¼ cup flour, salt and baking soda. Stir. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream.

Pour the remaining flour and semolina into another bowl. Take some dough with a spoon, transfer to a plate with flour and semolina, roll and form small round cakes.

Fry them in a preheated skillet on both sides in vegetable or butter.

3. Croissants with omelet

Quite hearty breakfast prepared in 15 minutes. One thing: the chicken must be boiled in advance so as not to waste time on it in the morning.

Ingredients

• 4 croissants;
• 2 eggs;
• 100 g of boiled chicken fillet;
• 50 g champignons;
• 20 g butter;
• salt, pepper - to taste;
• lettuce leaves.

Preparation

Cut the mushrooms and chicken into small cubes. Fry in butter. Season with salt, pepper and simmer, covered for 5 minutes.

Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Then pour the mixture into the chicken and mushroom skillet and cook until tender.

Microwave croissants. In each, make a pocket, carefully cutting in the middle. Fill the bagel with the chicken and mushroom omelet. Place a couple of fresh lettuce leaves on top of the filling.

4. Pancakes with apples and pears

Crispy pancakes with juicy filling inside. This amount of ingredients will make 6-8 pancakes - a hearty breakfast for two.

Ingredients

For the test:

• 1 glass of milk;
• 2 eggs;
• 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt;
• 3 tablespoons of butter;
• 1 pinch of vanillin;
• 1 cup flour.

For filling:

• 1 apple;
• 2 pears;
• cream and icing sugar to taste.

Preparation

Cut the apple and pears into large wedges and remove the core. Pour water into a saucepan, put fruit and put on high heat. When the water boils, reduce the flame and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

While the fruit is cooking, make the dough. Combine milk and eggs in a blender. Add a new ingredient every 10 seconds: sugar, salt, butter, vanillin - and mix until smooth. Then pour the mixture into a bowl of flour. Stir.

Place the skillet over medium heat. Brush it with a small piece of butter and pour in some dough (about ⅓ cup). Turn the pan to distribute it evenly over the surface.

Fry the pancake on one side until the dough begins to bubble. This usually takes a couple of minutes. Then turn the pancake over with a spatula and fry on the other side.

Repeat until the dough runs out. Grease the pan with oil each time to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

Lay out the filling: the fruit should be soft, but not lose shape. Roll up the pancake. Top with cream or powdered sugar.

5. Summer Pudding by Jamie Oliver

A popular English dessert that is quite easy to prepare. A good option for a summer breakfast, as any seasonal berries can be used. Just keep in mind that you need to cook in the evening: in order for the bread to soak in the juice, the pudding must spend the night in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• 800 g of any berries: raspberries, currants, strawberries, blackberries;
• 150 g sugar;
• ½ glass of orange juice;
• 7 large slices of white bread;
• 2 tablespoons of berry jam;
• vanilla to taste.

Preparation

Take a pudding dish, put in two layers of cling film so that the edges hang down a little.

Wash the berries and peel them off. If adding strawberries, cut them into halves or quarters. Place all berries in a large saucepan, cover with sugar, top with orange juice and add vanilla. Put on a low heat and simmer the berries for 3-5 minutes so that they give liquid and the sugar dissolves. Cool it down.

Cut the crust off the bread and spread the jam over each slice. Place 6 pieces neatly on the bottom of the pudding tin so that they cover the edges as well. Make sure there are no gaps between the slices.

Transfer the chilled berries to a mold. Pour half of the liquid from the pan into the same place.

Cover the berries with the last slice of bread. Pull on the overhanging ends of the plastic and try to make the pudding more rounded. Place a tea saucer on top. To make the bread better saturated with juice, put something heavy on the saucer, 2 kilograms is enough. Leave the pudding in the refrigerator overnight.

Strain the remaining berry juice, bring to a boil and cook until it thickens a little. Pour the resulting syrup into a glass and refrigerate as well.

In the morning, gently remove the pudding from the mold. Cut into chunks and pour over the syrup.

6. American Pancakes with Honey and Bananas

Appetizing American pancakes. Unlike our usual ones, they are completely non-greasy and porous.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons of sugar;
• 1 ½ teaspoon of baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt;
• 1 glass of milk;
• 3 tablespoons of butter;
• 1 egg;
• 1 banana;
• 2-3 tablespoons of honey.

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add milk, butter and egg. Stir until a smooth batter is obtained.

Preheat a frying pan and spoon the future pancakes with a spoon. No frying oil needed. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, turn over and fry on the other side.

Serve ready-made pancakes with banana chunks and honey.

7. French croutons with cinnamon

A nutritious and balanced meal that can be prepared quickly for breakfast.

Ingredients

• 2-3 slices of a loaf;
• 2 eggs;
• 50 ml of milk;
• salt, sugar - to taste;
• 50 g butter;
• cinnamon.

Preparation

Beat eggs with milk, sugar and salt, add cinnamon. Dip each piece of loaf in the egg and milk mixture to soak well.

Fry the crowbars on both sides in butter until golden brown.

8. Lazy oatmeal in the jar

Another breakfast that is prepared in the evening: in order for the oatmeal to be saturated with yogurt, you need to send them to the refrigerator overnight. But in the end, the dish turns out to be very useful. That is why supporters of a healthy lifestyle love him so much.

Ingredients

• 1 cup oatmeal
• ½ cup plain yogurt;
• 1 tablespoon honey;
• 1 banana;
• 50 g of berries: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries;
• grated chocolate or coconut to taste.

Preparation

Choose flakes that take a long time to cook. You will also need a jar or container with a lid. In the evening, combine the cereal, honey and yogurt in a jar. Instead of yogurt or together with it, you can use milk, kefir or any other fermented milk product.

Place the jar in the refrigerator overnight. Berries and bananas can be added right away, but it is better to do this in the morning, just before breakfast.

Sprinkle with grated chocolate or coconut on top.
