Its recipe 3 of my ‘7 breakfasts for 7 days’ recipe challenge and today I am bringing you something a little different, Gluten Free Microwaved Cheesy Onion Breakfast Savoury. I know I hear you, savoury for breakfast? Yep it’s a little weird for me too. But part of my challenge was to come up with a couple of savoury recipes as well. I think it’s more of a mainland European thing than a British thing but I am willing to give most things a go.

 

 

Really there is no reason why we don’t enjoy savoury foods more often for breakfast, when it comes to a lazy day breakfast / brunch we Brits are the first to dive into a super unhealthy plate of fried food. (Well technically I don’t being vegetarian, everything is grilled and virtually fat free but I think you get the idea!) And this is where Arla come in, they want to help improve our breakfast choices.

 

Because I was so limited on time, I knew I would be unable to get any pots and pans out so I went to one of my favourite treats this year and that is mug cakes. All of the ones I make are Vegan and Gluten Free but a major problem being they are sweet delectable treats. Not savoury breakfast foods. Although maybe you could get away with this banana bread one as a breakfast food in a pinch.

 

 

Anyway…… so after a few failed attempts of weird sweet savoury things I decided that I was going to have to ditch the idea of keeping this vegan, still vegetarian of course, but not vegan this time. I was going to need to use eggs!

 

So after many more weird attempts at something that we shall never speak of again, I hit the jackpot! Now the reason I went for calling this dish gluten free cheesy breakfast savoury apart from the obvious fact it gluten free, savoury and a breakfast food is because its somewhere smack bang in the middle of a muffin and an omelette. It’s neither one nor the other maybe we could call this a mufflette! Now that just sounds down right saucy….. Omefin? Doesn’t sound very appetising does it? So we shall just go with breakfast savoury, I think it’s safer that way.

 

 

So what’s in this bad boy gluten free microwaved cheesy onion breakfast savoury anyway? For starters to flavour it I am using a nice amount of finely grated mature cheddar cheese and a spring onion. Along with some cheeky seasoning, salt, pepper and a pinch of sweet smoked paprika. To keep it gluten free I am using quinoa flour. It’s a great flour to use with a subtle nutty flavour. If being gluten free isn’t an issue then I imagine plain / all-purpose flour will work fine. But please be aware I haven’t tested this recipe using plain / all-purpose flour.

 

 

Along with the egg, I am also using Arla’s Skyr natural yogurt and their BoB milk for the dairy. Like all mug cakes / muffins / savouries all ingredients go into a large mug. Get mixed in the large mug then popped in the microwave until cooked then eaten and enjoyed. As an added bonus all the washing up you have is a spoon, fork and the mug that you mix, cook and eat out of, heaven! So there is no excuse not to try this fabulous gluten free microwaved cheesy onion breakfast savoury.
