Whats for Breakfast?

A quick fix breakfast meal for your Kids

After a night’s sleep you need fuel—a good breakfast to prepare you for the day ahead. Foods high in carbohydrates, such as cereals and bread, are ideal breakfast foods because they are broken down into glucose which fuels your brain. Protein foods such as yogurt, milk, eggs, sausages, bacon, and beans are important, too. They control the growth and development of the body, and boost alertness. There are lots of tasty recipes in this section, but these ideas will get you started.

Boiled Egg

Half-fill a small saucepan with water. Gently lower an egg into the pan and bring the water to a boil. Boil the egg for 4 minutes, then remove it with a slotted spoon. Dip it in cold water and place it in an egg cup. Carefully slice the top off the egg and serve with toast.

Oatmeal

Put 1 cup oats in a saucepan with 1⅓ cups milk and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until creamy

Cooked Breakfast

Treat yourself to a cooked breakfast once in a while, but grill instead of fry it. Use lean meat or vegetarian sausages and add grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, whole wheat toast, and scrambled eggs for a balanced breakfast and smooth.

Poached Egg

Fill a pan with water (about 2in/5cm deep) and bring it to a simmer. Crack an egg into a cup. Swirl the water in the pan and then gently pour the egg into the center of the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until the white is set and the yolk is slightly runny. Scoop out using a slotted spoon and serve with whole wheat toast.
