A Sinfully Easy Breakfast Treat

A Sinfully Easy Breakfast Treat

We’ve had some drop-in breakfast guests lately, and since I don’t maintain a massive pantry of ready-to-cook breakfast food, some scrambling was in order – and not just for the eggs.

Whipped Yogurt with Fruit and Honey
With a pinch of this and a teaspoon of that, you can turn the most ordinary breakfast ingredients into something to get excited about. For example, this yogurt and fruit cup began as life in a plain Greek yogurt container. I popped it into the mixer, whipped the yogurt for four minutes, added a teaspoon of honey, and then folded it into a pretty cup garnished with blueberries. Putting air into the yogurt using the mixer makes it more like a whipped cream, and the honey sweetens it, so that you feel more like you’re eating a sundae than a thick, righteous cup of yogurt. So simple! (The pretty bowl doesn’t change the taste, but there is something to be said for making a nice presentation, in cooking and in life. It makes people more receptive to what you’re offering – even if it’s just a breakfast yogurt.)
