Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your Mediterranean Diet Breakfast ingredients. Wash and chop your favorite fruits into bite-sized pieces, such as berries or citrus fruits, and whisk together eggs in a bowl if you're making a frittata.
- In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, then stir in your choice of whole grains. Lower the heat and simmer according to package instructions—about 15 minutes for quinoa or 5 minutes for quick oats—until tender and fluffy.
- While the grains are cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs or crumbled tofu, scrambling them gently for about 3-5 minutes until fully cooked.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked grains, sautéed eggs or tofu, and chopped vegetables. Gently mix in yogurt for a creamy texture.
- Lay out your bowls or plates to assemble your Mediterranean Diet Breakfast, starting with a generous scoop of the grain and protein mixture, followed by layering with fresh fruits and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds.
- Finish your Mediterranean Diet Breakfast by drizzling a bit of olive oil on top and adding fresh herbs for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately or chill if you've prepared overnight oats.
