I sent my dad a menu with recipes to make my mother for Mother’s Day (pictures are from him!) Details are copy and pasted below cause I think it’s just a pretty good breakfast menu for any occasion :)

FRITTATA RECIPE

• 10 eggs

• 1 onion, sliced into half moons 

• 1 ts turmeric power

• 3/4 ts cayenne powder

• Salt and pepper 

• 2 bunch parsley, very finely chopped 

• 2 bunch dill, very finely chopped

• 1/2 lemon zest

Set oven to 400F

Whisk eggs in a bowl until very smooth and a little frothy. Season with salt and pepper

In a medium oven safe pan, sauté onions in 1.5 tablespoons of butter AND drizzle of olive oil with large pinch of salt, the turmeric and cayenne until soft and starting to caramelize

Stir dill parsley and lemon zest into egg mixture. Pour egg mixture into pan. Lightly fold the eggs for a minute or so to create some texture in the frittata. Then make sure the filling is evenly distributed and leave undisturbed for a few minutes until it’s set on the bottom 

Drizzle the edges with a little olive oil and put in the oven for ~5 mins until set. DONT OVERCOOK - it’s best if it’s a little wet in the center 

Slide onto serving plate (or serve in pan). Season with a squeeze of lemon, drizzle olive oil and Maldon salt

BERRIES, YOGURT AND TOASTED ALMOND RECIPE

• Honey and mint for garnish

In a medium bowl, toss almonds with cardamom, cinnamon, olive oil, sugar and salt.

Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet and put in oven.

Check after 10 mins, almonds should be toasty all the way through (but not burnt). If not done, check in two min intervals until ready. 

Let cool then roughly chop almond and set aside
