This waffle, quail eggs, bacon and maple syrup breakfast was lush indeed, it was one of the best enjoyed breakfasts we’ve had in a long time, agreed and certified by hubby and kids. We don’t have breakfasts like this often but when we do, it must be thoroughly enjoyed and long time remembered.

With made this breakfast last Saturday and it was such a teamwork. I was responsible for getting the waffles and the quail eggs ready. Hubby fried the bacon. Kids were responsible to harvest the tomatoes. Fresh from the garden, how lovely, I know! Also kids had to do the presentation of the plates which they wanted badly to do and laying the table. It was them that did the most work (bad parenting here lol). They did a pretty good job, agree? Well, I’m really proud of my pandas.

Precious moments ….

I love weekends like this and all those family times, the togetherness moments, which I’m sure children will cherish and remember for the rest of their lives. I will too and they’re priceless. The breakfast was ready in half an hour but the eating was ready in a few minutes. It all vanished in little to almost no time at all.

This breakfast was the first timer for the kids and they thoroughly enjoyed it. They really loved the sweet-savoury combo which I never thought they would.

The combination of colours, textures, flavours was super delicious. We enjoyed every single bite of it, we all did, but kids did enjoy it in particular. I’m sure part of their enjoyment was also fulfilled by the preparations contribution factor which surely it gives them a great sense of worthiness. The enjoyment it’s by far greater than when table is just laid by mummy and they just get the call.

Quail eggs…

Quail eggs! They are not only cute, they’re really good for us too! We love them and it rarely happens to have none in the fridge.

This year I was particularly lucky to find a nice lady in the neighbourhood that has quails and had plenty of eggs to share. Sadly the supply for this year it’s finished since the quails will be laying a lot less eggs as we enter the cold weather season. Will have to wait now until the spring. Till then we will have to get them from the supermarket.

Waffles…

I love making waffles but this time I did not have to make them since I’ve had a few gluten free ones left from last weekend.

Here’s a great waffle recipe for you if you wish to make them from scratch. I always change the type of flour I use. Most times I make a few batches and keep some in the freezer for next breakfast time when waffles are fancied again, it makes it really easy and the waffles taste as good as the freshly made ones if frozen immediately after cooling.

It will become obvious in few seconds when you will be reading all the ingredients in this waffle breakfast recipe that a couple of them thrown in here are quite controversial. You must know me by now and how I love combining ingredients (madness- lol).

I have to say this combination worked a treat, a real treat indeed and…we will make it again without changing a thing!

I must always add in any recipe at least two healthy ingredients so we benefit more from that particular meal even if it’s not appearing as being the healthiest one at first sight. It is a treat at the end of the day, right? A treat with benefits!

I’m gonna have to start revealing those ingredients for this lush waffle and quail eggs breakfast, so let’s just get making it. Easy peazzle maple drizzle!

Equipment

pan
chopping board
knife
spatula

Ingredients

8 waffles gluten free
6 bacon rashers *
16 quail eggs
16 cherry tomatoes
60 g broccoli sprouts
2 tbsp pesto sauce homemade
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
1 pinch of Black pepper freshly ground

Metric - US Imperial

Instructions

Fry the bacon in a pan - I like some crispy bits here and there.
Fry the eggs in a nonstick pan greased with a bit of coconut oil spray.
Toast the waffles ( had ready made ones) and then plate the ingredients by topping the waffles with the bacon, the eggs and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, a scatter of pesto sauce and a generous sprinkle of sunflower seeds and tomatoes.

Notes

* Bacon - we always try and get this in the best form and that’s the organic way and most importantly the bacon that’s containing no nitrites and no E numbers. * Here is a great recipe for home-made homemade pesto sauce. I really hope you will enjoy this breakfast as much as we do.

Having just got a brand new waffle iron last week (because I killed the last one overfilling it with tater-tots one too many times), this looks positively delicious, and we might actually need to do something like this tomorrow!
