Cassey ‘s Cayenne boiled eggs with kale and hommus

Inspired by local foodie The Healthy Tradie @thehealthytradieWhat you'll need:

• 2 organic eggs
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 handfuls of baby spinach and/or kale
• 1/4 ripe avocado
• Sprinkle of cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper

And for the Hommus…

• 1 can chickpeas
• 3 garlic cloves
• 100ml extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• Optional... on the weekend I like to serve it with crumbled feta and a slice of sourdough!

What you'll do:

• Boil eggs the way you like them – hard or soft
• Put all ingredients for hommus in a blender and whiz ‘em up until the mix is nice and creamy (you can store the remainder in the fridge for about 1 week)
• Heat pan, cook coconut oil and garlic until fragrant. Add spinach and/or kale until soft.
• Put greens on a plate, add a big scoop of hommus and the boiled eggs, then top with desired amount of cayenne pepper, a little salt and regular pepper too.

Leash’s Brekky Salad

• 1-2 poached eggs
• Handful of spinach leaves
• Mint leaves to taste (we like about 6, chopped)
• Diced spanish onion (to individual taste)
• 2 x halves rosemary grilled roma tomato*
• A sprinkle of goats cheese feta
• Optional: a couple of diced black olives

*Cut tomato in half, sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt, grill on low heat until soft.What You’ll Do:

• Simply put it all in a bowl, mix and serve... enjoy! Pushed for time in the morning? Prepare the salad base the night before, then boil your eggs at work and Hey Presto! Gourmet food meets office desk.

Lex’s Frittata

Inspired by new Bondi brekky hot spot, Shuk @shukbondiWhat You’ll Need:

• 2-3 eggs
• ½ cup diced pumpkin
• ½ cup sweet potato
• Zucchini and/or peas
• 3-4 mushrooms
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes
• Small amount of feta
• Basil leaves

What You’ll Do:

• Whisk your eggs up.
• Throw all your ingredients (i.e. vegetables) in a small fry pan/dish and cover with whisked eggs.
• Crumble feta on top.
• Pop in oven at 150C for about 20-25 mins.
• Garnish with Basil Leaves

Again, this will keep in the fridge for a few days, so great for a busy schedule. You could also use a large fry pan/dish, add extra eggs and veggies and space it out over a few meals. Even better if you aren’t a massive fan of cooking like Lex. 

Libby’s Sweet Scramble

Inspired by Libby’s sweet tooth! @libbybabetWhat You’ll Need

• 2 eggs
• 1 banana (lady fingers work best)
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (BUF loves Sunwarrior)
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Pinch of nutmeg (if you have it)
• Optional: 1 teaspoon of raw cacao if you like things extra chocolatey
• A little coconut oil or butter
• A blender!

What You’ll Do

• Whisk everything but the oil/butter together in a blender, or just mush it all up and mix it in a bowl if you don’t have one.
• Heat a little coconut oil, or butter in a pan over medium heat, then pour the contents of your blender in and simply stir around the pan until you have a big ol’ flavour-packed scramble cooked up!
• Pop it on a plate and eat as is, drizzled with a little honey, rice malt syrup, or maple.
• Keen to go gourmet? A scoop of greek yoghurt on top is divine every time!
