HEALTHY BREAKFAST IDEAS:

Wholegrain cereal with chopped fruit and nuts

Hot porridge with banana for cold winter mornings, or cold porridge oats mixed with oat clusters and chopped dates and banana for warmer weather

Toast, crumpets or bagels with a little spread, jam and banana

Chopped fruit and yoghurt

Fruit smoothies

Even the occasional egg and bacon with tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh juice

And if you thought breakfast was boring, top North West chef Tom Bridge has devised an extra-special idea just for Manchester Metro readers to enjoy.

LUXURY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SMOKED SALMON

Ingredients:

20g butter

3 large free range eggs

15ml double cream

salt and freshly milled pepper

5ml freshly chopped parsley

65g Scottish smoked salmon

2 hot toasted crumpets, buttered

METHOD:

Gently beat the eggs together with the cream, salt and pepper. Add the butter to a non-stick pan over a medium heat.



When sizzling, add the egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir eggs for two minutes, scraping the egg off the base of the pan as it sets.

When most of the egg mixture is set add the parsley and smoked salmon strips. Remove from the heat and continue to stir for 30 seconds.

Place the hot crumpets onto warm plates and top with the scrambled egg and smoked salmon.
