Fancy Mother’s of Father’s Day Breakfast Toast
Rather than reaching for your usual toast toppings, try these tasty, gourmet ideas:
Spread ricotta cheese on toasted bread then add sliced strawberries, blueberries or sultanas.
Layer peanut butter, sliced banana and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.
Serve your fancy toast with your Mum’s favourite fruit and yoghurt…
OR
Carefully slice up your Mum’s favourite fruit and create a small fruit salad, topped with a sprig of mint (if you have some growing in your garden).
“Good Morning” Muesli Trifle
All you need for this simple recipe is:
a tall glass,
Mum’s favourite muesli,
honey-sweetened Greek yoghurt
and fruit to top.
Spoon a layer of muesli into the bottom of the glass. Use the spoon to push the muesli down into a flat layer.
Next, spoon a layer of yoghurt into the glass. Repeat until the glass is full. Top with sliced fruit.
To really impress, layer another glass with different coloured, sliced fruit and serve alongside the muesli trifle.

Add the margarine/butter and use your fingers (or a teaspoon) to smoosh it into the dry mixture until no large chunks remain.
Add milk and stir into the mixture until you have a thick batter.
If the mixture is too dry, add a little more milk.Place the blueberries on top of the mixture and gently push them down into the batter.
