Techniques That Matter
- Cook once, eat twice: Batch scrambled eggs or roasted potatoes; cool, then reheat crisp in a hot pan.
- Pan heat = speed: Preheat skillet before eggs or pancakes for even set and colour.
- Sandwich structure: Dry greens and toast bread to resist sogginess in make-ahead stacks.
- Freezer strategy: Wrap burritos/muffins tightly; label and thaw overnight for best texture.
- Protein boost: Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or beans to keep mornings fuller for longer.
- Balance plate: Aim for protein + slow carbs + fruit/veg to avoid mid-morning crashes.
Common Mistakes & Fixes
- Rubbery eggs → Heat too high; pull off early and finish with residual heat.
- Soggy sandwiches → Wet veg; pat dry and layer sauces between proteins, not bread.
- Dense muffins → Overmixed batter; fold just until flour disappears.
- Bland burritos → Under-seasoned fillings; add salsa, pickles, or hot sauce at serve.
- Cold centres (reheat) → Microwave then air-fry/oven 3–5 min to re-crisp exterior.
Serving Ideas / Planner’s Notes
- Portions: 1 main + fruit/yogurt per person (or 2–3 small items for brunch).
- Build a board: eggs, warm breads/rolls, a fresh salad, and a sweet bake.
- Mix temperatures: hot shakshuka with chilled citrus salad for contrast.
- Vegetarian inclusion: beans, halloumi, or mushrooms stand in for meat.
- Drinks: coffee, hot chocolate, or iced green tea; add a quick smoothie for fibre.
