5 Better Breakfasts with Olympus Cheese and Yoghurt

Today is Better Breakfast Day (25 September) and we thought, the best way to celebrate this amazing time of day, is to give you some inspiration for a better breakfast. That’s why, we’re rounding up some delicious ways to use Olympus Cheese products in your breakfast…from the super healthy to the weekend specials. Enjoy!

1. Olympus Fetta and Avocado Toast

Method:

1. Half avocado lengthways, de-stone and scoop out the flesh inside.
2. Crumble fetta into the bowl and mix
3. Tear basil or mint into small pieces (tearing releases the flavour) and fold through the mixture
4. Add the juice of half a lemon, tasting as you go until it’s to your liking. We like it lemony!
5. Brush the bread with olive oil and place under a hot grill until toasted
6. Assemble the fetta mixture onto toasts and serve immediately

2. Fried Breakfast with Smoked Salmon and Olympus Halloumi

3. Olympus Ricotta Fruit Toast with Honey

Serves 2

Ricotta cheese makes a delicious topping for toast, giving you that extra protein and dairy hit for the day. The beauty of ricotta is that its lightness allows the flavours of whatever you put with it to shine through. Choose a rich fruit bread and top with honey and top with banana and strawberries, or fig, fresh peach, or whatever fruit takes your fancy.

Method:

1. Toast bread in your toaster
2. Meanwhile, work ricotta cheese in a small bowl so it’s spreadable
3. Spread over hot toast
4. Drizzle with honey
5. Top with peach or your fruit of choice
6. Lightly dust with cinnamon to serve.

4. Scrambled Eggs with Olympus Fetta and Ripe Tomatoes

Serves 2

Have you ever made scrambled eggs using fetta cheese? It makes a very creamy scrambled egg! This version is freshened up thanks to the addition of tomatoes. You could also add in herbs of your choice.

Method:

1. Heat oil in a non-stick pan, and fry onion until soft.
2. Add chopped tomatoes, soften slightly in the pan
3. Add oregano
4. Pour in eggs, letting the bottom set slightly (about 30 seconds)
5. Add crumbled fetta cheese
6. Stir mixture gently until it reaches your preferred consistency for scrambled eggs
7. Remove from heat just before cooked as will continue to cook in the pan
8. Season to serve

5. Smoothie to Go with Olympus Greek Yoghurt

Serves 1

For a morning staple and a great breakfast on the go, you can’t go past a delicious smoothie. Mix it up with whichever fruit you like and experiment with flavours. We love a banana or berry smoothie made with either fresh or frozen fruit. Also try our Natural Yoghurt in place of Greek. For smoothness, add a splash of your favourite milk – cow, almond, coconut or soy. For extra fibre we added oats, but you can omit this if you like. We also love making mango lassis – simply replace banana with flesh of a mango, replace cinnamon with ½ tsp of ground cardamom and squeeze in a little lime.
