With brunch out off the menu for the foreseeable, founder of food blog The Flexitarian provides a delicious and nutritional breakfast to eat at home
With the current situation putting a hold on any brunch plans at some of our favourite weekend haunts, we’ve called in the pros for some DIY breakfast recipes. First up it’s a delicious organic offering from Annabelle of The Flexitarian.
This organic smashed avocado toast with poached egg and harissa makes a wholesome alternative to a traditional cooked breakfast, and is super easy to try at home for yourself. Fiery harissa is a match made in heaven with eggs. Originally from Tunisia, you can use harissa to perk up a lot of vegetable dishes, too.
