Easy Mediterranean Diet Breakfast Ideas

These are the easiest Mediterranean Diet Breakfast Ideas you will ever come across. 

A Mediterranean-style diet is characterized by a high intake of vegetables and olive oil and a moderate intake of protein, which is claimed to provide health advantages. 

People who consume a Mediterranean diet had a decreased risk of suffering a heart attack, according to a study.

Processed red meats, such as hot dogs, heavily processed foods, refined cereals, alcohol (other than red wine), and butter are all prohibited on the Mediterranean diet.

Firstly, combine the dried ingredients in a large mixing basin and put them aside. Then combine the strawberries and bananas in a blender or food processor. Blend the fruits until they are completely liquefied.

Then mix together the dried ingredients, the fruit combination, the milk, and the syrup. Refrigerate the mixture overnight after covering it. Lastly, serve your meal with some chopped nuts and any fruits of your choice in the morning because you will leave this dish to rest overnight. 

Balsamic Berries with Honey Yogurt 

Steps to follow for this Mediterranean diet breakfast 

• 1 cup each of halved strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. 
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• ⅔ cup of plain Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons of honey

Steps to follow for this Mediterranean diet breakfast 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with balsamic vinegar. Allow for a 10-minute rest period. In a small dish, combine the yogurt and honey. Serve the berries in serving dishes or glasses with a tablespoon of honey yogurt on top.

 

Avocado and Egg Breakfast Pizza 

• 1 large avocado
• 1 tablespoon each of chopped cilantro, vegetable oil, and lime juice
• ⅛ teaspoon of salt
• 90 grams of pizza dough
• 4 large eggs
• Hot sauce for serving 

Steps to follow for this Mediterranean diet breakfast 

Firstly, cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl with a big spoon. Combine the cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl. With a few avocado pieces, mash with a fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The size of your avocado will determine if you need more salt or lime juice. Set this bowl aside and work on the dough.

 

Then cut the dough into four equal halves. Lightly sprinkle some flour on your rolling surface and roll each piece into a thin 6-inch circle. If you realize the dough is stubborn to be rolled, you should let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the gluten structures to relax.

 

Over medium-high heat, heat a well-seasoned cast-iron pan until extremely hot. In the center of the skillet, place one of the dough circles. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the top is bubbling. Cook until browned on the opposite side, pushing down with a spatula if the dough puffs up from the pan’s bottom. It’s alright if it’s burnt in places. Place the dough circles on a dish and repeat with the remaining dough circles.

 

Conclusion

Each cooked dough piece should have a quarter of the avocado mixture spread on it.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. (If you’re using the same skillet you used for the dough, let it cool somewhat before cleaning it off any burned flour.) Fry eggs until the desired doneness is achieved, then add one on top of each pizza. Serve right away, with or without a splash of hot sauce on top.
