Tired of dull breakfast routines? Embark on a Mediterranean adventure from Swiss muesli to Egyptian Ful Medames and experience a savory transformation that could change your entire day.
I enjoyed reading this piece, Jack. Flitting around the mediterranean... now that sounds like fun!
As for breakfast, well, I often feel quite hungry first thing, having fasted since 5pm the day before, so more often than not I'll cook a breakfast. I'll make something with beans and grains - and I'll spice it up with curry or chilli flavours. I make sure to get my fruits, nuts, and seeds in over lunch (perhaps in a salad), or as a dessert after dinner.
I go through food phases for breakfast. For the longest time I ate avocado toast with seeds or herbs on top. Then came cottage cheese pancakes. Now I'm loving ricotta cheese toast with fresh fruit on top! Ricotta has all 9 essential amino acids, so I am a fan. Ricotta also makes a wonderful cheesecake-like dessert. Just add some almond or lemon extract and a drizzle of honey. Divine! Ricotta toast s also delicious to eat savory. Just top with veggies and herbs. Often I can use some leftover veggies from last night's dinner. This veggie pusher loves to start the day with some veggies.

That sounds like the perfect Mediterranean attitude…well done!
(ps…I also love a bit of spicy goodness in my morning food - it’s better than coffee…almost!)
Yes!
Thanks Jack for a ful medames recipe. One of my favourite meals at the wonderful Lebanese bakery that we frequent!
I had it there the last time we visited - excellent!
