“Don’t skip breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day”. Has anyone ever said that to you? Chances are someone, mother, friend or paediatrician, probably has lectured you once on the repercussions of skipping breakfast. To those lucky enough to escape such fate, here's a recap.
A scrumptious breakfast isn’t just nutrition friendly but also helps regulate your mood. It starts your metabolism system, boosts fibre and calcium intake, and gives you the energy to keep going throughout the day. Today’s list of breakfast recipes offer two quick and easy-to-cook breakfast meals that are just as delicious as they are appetising.

Egg dishes, whether that’s a quick and simple recipe like the Korean omelette or a more elaborate affair like eggs in a bagel, make for an extremely healthy breakfast menu which can be cooked in less than 30 minutes. From a nutritional point of view, eggs are a nutritious treat: They raise good cholesterol, help maintain eyesight, and provide amino acids and protein. So, with eggs in the fridge, there’s always a breakfast menu you can lean on.
