Can I ask the FHG for some ideas to give a special friend for breakfast?

[**forum-decorum**]

Evening all.

I am having a visit in the week from a special friend who I haven't seen for a good few years,

I bumped into here while on holiday this year and we have made arrangements for her to visit, the thing is due to us both having personal commitments time is not very free so we have had to plump for a breakfast meet up.

I would love to have some scrummy ideas to prepare for a special breakfast but don't know where to start. I usually only have a bit of cereal and a cuppa.

I have googled but I haven't found anything of much help, we both need healthy nutricious low fat things due to being a bit over weight and a few health issues.

I can't take fry ups and I know my friend needs to watch fats etc.

Has anyone one any ideas to help me out.

I would be very grateful.

Eggs benedict is scrummy

i make these quite a bit as we are trying up our quinoa intake

i omit the ham, and use mushrooms in half, roasted red peppers in the other

you can make ahead of time, and pop in the oven to re heat

but its cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese 

LOVE cheese

mmmmm, eggs are always good, and I like salmon.

I haven't a clue what eggs benedict is

[****merlin*****]

poached eggs served covered in  hollandaise sauce  served on a  muffin. some people have bacon or ham between the eggs and muffin, Hollandaise isnt very healthy, but yummy!

[**forum-decorum**]

Thank you all.

Hellooooooo roofie 

How's Jack doing?

A few years ago Sainsburys used to do what they called a breakfast picnic

whiich was eggs benedict only with mushrooms as well and some sprigs

of chives on top.  All on top of a muffin.  It was yummy and I've made it loads

of times only for lunch not breakfast.

My favourite breakfast is banana on toast.

Toasted Bagels with scrambled egg and smoked salmon,

or

Full English with the works, so long as you don't want to do anything afterwards.

follow the 'egg' dish with fresh fruit salad and yoghurt, then some really nice coffee.
