Protein-rich breakfasts?

[DomesticG0ddess]

Anyone have any ideas for protein rich breakfasts? My DH and I have made lists before, but never really got very far, and now I'm pg and need to fuel up first thing.

Obviously eggs (great eggy recipes anyone?). I don't eat meat, but do eat fish.

Thank you.

I'm pg and finding a high-protein brekkie much, much easier to digest ATM.

Am having a lot of smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels, mushroom omelettes, and scrambled eggs with crumpets.

If I had more time I'd do eggs florentine or kedgeree.Also keep meaning to get some kippers.

Eggs florentine are lovely - you just need to toast a muffin, microwave some fresh spinach (30 secs to one minute is probably enough), poach an egg and spoon over some hollandaise (from a jar). Smoked salmon is also nice with this.

If that sounds like a bit of a faff, try a quick spinach omelette. Defrost a block of frozen spinach in a small dish in the microwave - 1 minute. Meanwhile, put a small non-stick frying pan on to warm with a nob of butter in. When the spinach is done, break it up with a fork and crack an egg into it, then beat til they are properly combined. Pour into the pan and sprinkle with grated cheese. Once it's mostly cooked through, which will only take a minute or so, slide it out onto a plate then tip it back into the pan the other way up (easiest to do this by positioning the pan upside down above the plate, then flipping both at the same time). Cook for another minute or so. Start to finish is less than 5 minutes. Also delicious with (garlic) mushrooms.

If you want a break from eggs what about peanut butter on soya and linseed toast? While I was pg and diabetic my dietician recommended soya and linseed as the bread with least impact on blood sugar, ie it keeps you going for longest. Fortuitously, it is delicious. It also goes well with humous and avocado (I like feta with this too); or smoked mackerel, cream cheese and watercress.

natural yoghurt with a handful of crushed nuts/ seeds is a good one.

Smoked salmon scrambled eggs is also quick and easy - scramble eggs as normal and then stir in some chopped smoked salmon - it doesn't need cooking any further.

I have two poached eggs on toast every morning. High in protein, filling and yummy.

Thanks, I will try these

As a domestic goddess, then you must, of course, feast yourself with Eggs Benedict, the king of breakfast recipes. Toasted muffin, get some Quorn Ham slices, poached eggs, hollandais sauce and, if you are rich, a slice of black truffle on top. Absolutely sumptuous.
Re- kedgeree, can't you make it the night before, only adding the eggs in the morning.

Beans on toast has some protein, more if you grill some cheese on top.

Good luck

Had not thought of the Quorn slices, what a good idea. Probably won't have a slice of black truffle on top, but sounds divine!

DG - not wanting to rain on your newfound parade in any way but may I suggest you read this thread? After the initial bits about aspartame, there is a discussion about Quorn that might be worth your while reading.

You could always have mushrooms on toast, or mushroom omelette instead.

Protein shake, yummy, quick and filling. I use Holland and Barrett vanilla and blitz it with my coffee and cream and have the BEST vanilla latte.
