What's your favourite breakfast food or recipe

You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

I'm a big fan of the boiled eggs with toast soldiers too. Or scrambled eggs on toast, or oatmeal cooked in milk with a little brown sugar, or if I've run out of bread, an egg scramble with bacon and kale (and onions if the husband isn't eating it - he won't do onions unless they're well disguised.)

When I'm feeling organized I make baked oatmeal on the weekend and then through the week we can just cut off a bit and eat it like cake, cold, or nuke it and put cream over it.

What's baked oatmeal?

Usually cereal but for treats either eggy bread (with cinnamon, rather than herbs) or drop scones, both of which are served with maple syrup and bacon if we're particularly organised.

Porridge - made with water generally, and golden syrup.

I am jealous of all you people with your porridge, whenever I make it it explodes all over the microwave (I am suspecting as I type this that everyone else makes it properly, in a pan!)

I make this granola sometimes, it is very nice.

You inspired me to look up a recipe - and now it's written in my own recipe book and there are some raising on the radiator!
I'm looking forward to lunch! :mrgreen:

With regard to porridge I have to say i'm a lucky girl, I have a rayburn and there's nothing quite like porridge made on a rayburn!! I obviously don't have the willpower of some, I just have to make it with milk and sugar :roll:

Porridge made on the stove with milk & topped with demerara in cold weather. Muesli soaked in milk & yoghurt overnight & topped with fruit in warm weather.

Weekend is often 'breakfast baklava' - my boyfriend's invention - toasted wholemeal pitta bread with crunchy peanut butter & honey inside. Yum.

All time favourite would be Eggs Benedict - never made it myself, but love it when I am eating out for breakfast!
