Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper – that’s the advice doled out by everyone from health gurus to our own parents. It’s certainly a good way of eating, as a larger meal in the morning will keep us fuller throughout the day and provide plenty of energy when we need it most. But it can be hard to muster the energy to cook a full dish from scratch when we’re still half asleep and have a job to get to. With a little forward planning, however, you can prepare some incredible breakfast dishes the night before and have them ready to eat the next morning in a matter of minutes.
One ingredient which is almost ubiquitous at the British breakfast table is milk, whether you’re eating a quick bowl of cereal, sipping a morning coffee or preparing something a bit more ambitious. With free-from diets on the rise, more and more of us are starting to avoid it for health reasons. The recipes below go way beyond dry toast or a rushed full English. With healthy bowls of grains, more indulgent combinations, international specialities and tried and tested classics, there’s plenty of inspiration to get you out of your tired morning routine and breathe new life into the most important meal of the day.
