This Mother's Day might look a little different, but it doesn't mean you can't spoil mum with a simple, delicious breakfast. Here are five easy ideas that will have even the most reluctant cook - or a gaggle of enthusiastic kids - in the kitchen: fruit parfaits, a bacon, cheese and egg strudel, make-ahead breakfast soufflés, strawberry bruschetta and a pear-and-chocolate cake to finish.
1 - Fig Coconut Yogurt Parfait
Parfaits are wonderful because they are versatile, fresh and healthy but can be made ahead using seasonal ingredients. Don't have figs? Just replace them with your mother's favourite seasonal fruit!
2 - Bacon, Cheese & Egg Strudel
Please excuse the ghastly photographs (I was a terrible photographer back in the day). But this bacon, egg and cheese breakfast strudel will not only please mum but everyone else in the house too! You can also use bought filo pastry instead of making your own.
This breakfast bruschetta pairs vanilla scented, plump roasted strawberries with cream cheese for a simple breakfast. You can make the strawberries ahead of time and just spread and serve that morning!
Usually soufflés have a bit of a reputation as being difficult but I promise I'm not even suggesting you do anything difficult at an early hour considering I am not a morning person. Instead, you can prep this the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. Did I mention how delicious this is?
5 - Pear & Chocolate Breakfast Cake
Lastly, leave it to the Italians to create a delicious breakfast cake. This Sicilian pear and chocolate cake is all about a little bit of decadence in the morning because your mother definitely deserves a treat!
So tell me Dear Reader, what would be your pick for Mother's Day morning?
