Rue Mupedzi is no stranger to serving up fancy, complex, and truly impressive dishes, night after night. After all, she’s been on MasterChef twice now, so when Rue told us her go-to lazy dinner, we were surprised at what she brought to the table.
It requires no effort, no cooking, and is cheaper than a chocolate bar. But it’s pretty genius and something I’m sure we’re all guilty of having every now and then.
“If I don’t feel like cooking, I’m not cooking!” she laughs. “I’m having Weet-bix, oats, or some kind of cereal.”
We can hear the haters saying “breakfast for dinner is not acceptable.”
But frankly, we disagree. It’s a popular swap, with many dubbing it ‘brinner’. Plus, just check out all the arguments on Reddit that are entirely valid.
“That’s the thing about being an adult. You can eat what you want, when you want to. There’s no rules!” one person says.
“A bowl of cereal at any time of the day SLAPS, especially at 1:26 am”, “Breakfast for dinner? Who cares? I’ll have bacon and eggs at 6 pm”, “I had a frozen burrito and pb sandwich for dinner last night, you can eat whatever you want,” comment others.
Sometimes, breakfast for dinner hits, but of course, in moderation, everything is fine.
Incorporating nutrients with your cereal dinner is key, or why not put in a little effort and have a homey, delicious breakfast for dinner?
We’ve got some breakfast for dinner inspo that you should try!
7 breakfast recipes that are perfect for lazy dinners
Whether you live in the city or the country, a bacon and egg roll is a great way to start (or end!) the day. But just because it’s a classic breakfast food, doesn’t mean the bacon and egg roll can’t get an upgrade, and this is a luxe version with delicious vegetables and a smokiness for added flavour.
This cheesy sausage jaffle is a great way to use leftovers from last night’s sausage casserole dinner, or to make your brekkie for dinner more savoury!
Sweet dreams are made of these jaffles. Say bye bye to savoury toasties and treat yourself to one with white choc, raspberry and bananas instead.
Waffles might mostly be a maple syrup affair, but there’s nothing to stop them from being the most delicious savoury breakfast for dinner for the whole family to enjoy!
Whether you make this for brunch, dinner or dessert, you’ll love the way the tiny air pockets of these sweetly spiced puffy pancakes absorb every drop of the pear syrup.
These pancakes are stunners at brekkie or anytime. Whip up these more-ish pancakes and pile them high with mascarpone, berries, mouthwatering fruity syrup and the twist – crispy bacon.
Start your day the tasty way with brekkie muffins. They’re super easy to make using good-quality pork sausages and are great for brunch or dinner, too!
