Treat Your Mum to Breakfast in Bed this Mother’s Day

Unsure what to get the mother figure in your life this Mother’s Day? How about the gift of quality time, and breakfast in bed!

A recent study found that over half of mums said they really want to spend time with family on Mother’s Day*, and what better way to say ‘I love you’ than a home-cooked breakfast in bed.

So, dust off your chef’s hat, and choose from one of the following, delicious, recipe options to wow the family this Mother’s Day!

Hot Cross Bun French Toast

Ingredients

4 hot cross buns

3 large eggs

120ml milk – can use alternatives

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

Knob of butter

Toppings of your choice – we suggest maple syrup, honey, Greek yogurt and berries to balance out the sweetness.

Method

1. Whisk the eggs together with the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Cut your hot cross buns in half and dip each half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated in the wet mixture.
3. Add a knob of butter to a non-stick pan and place each hot cross bun half into the pan.
4. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes each side or until they are slightly golden brown.
5. Transfer to a plate and top with the toppings of your choice. Dust a slight coat of icing sugar to finish for an extra aesthetic Mother’s Day breakfast treat.

Feta Eggs on Toast

Ingredients

2 large eggs

50g feta cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

Handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper

2 slices of sourdough toast or crumpets

Method

1. Heat the oil in a nonstick pan and crack the eggs into the pan.
2. Cook the eggs sunny side up, crumbling the feta on top when the eggs are almost done to allow the feta to melt slightly into the eggs.
3. Toast your sourdough or crumpets.
4. Place the eggs on top of the bread and sprinkle the parsley on top to garnish. You can add additional feta here and season with salt and pepper to taste.
