Mediterranean veggie breakfast
A vegetarian fry-up that’s Mediterranean in style! Two eggs is not enough protein for a midlife women for breakfast so we have added halloumi cheese. to increase the protein and lots of veggies for more fibre and colour.
ingredients
serves 1
6 large white or chestnut mushrooms
Large handful of baby spinach
Pinch of crushed chilli flakes (optional)
6 cherry or 1 large tomato
3 slices of halloumi cheese
2 eggs
Small knob of butter
method
Wipe the dirt from the mushrooms and slice.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan and add the mushrooms (no oil/butter needed at this stage)
Wash and finely slice the spinach.
After a few minutes of cooking the mushrooms add the wet spinach and stir them together.
If using the crushed chilli flakes add now with a good grinding of pepper.
When the spinach and mushrooms are cooked remove and add to plate.
Add the halloumi and tomatoes to the pan and cook the halloumi until lightly brown. When cooked remove both from pan and add to plate.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl.
Melt the butter in frying pan and stir in eggs. Stir until cooked.
Add to the plate and enjoy.
the health boost tip
This is a complete protein vegetarian breakfast. You could also serve for lunch - I would increase eggs to 3 for a lunch serving.
