CAPRESE BREAKFAST TOAST
On weekends my favourite thing to do is go for brunch. To me, it is like an event. I want to go somewhere with delicious menu items, whether it’s a signature dish or a classic. Good coffee is a must and maybe a mimosa and of course my friends.
However, going for brunch every week is not always possible, but that doesn’t mean I will settle for a bowl of cereal. When I’m not brunching on a patio, I still make myself a brunch worthy meal. One of my favourite breakfast items on my home menu are breakfast toasts. You can grabs whatever is in your fridge and top it with a poached egg, and voila! Breakfast is served.

Basil Parsley Oil

- In a frying pan on medium heat, add the cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry until tomatoes soften. Take off heat. Don’t overcook or they will turn into mush.

- Serve immediately.
Notes
These are made to order and don’t keep well in the fridge.
If you don’t want to make the basil parsley oil, then just chop fresh basil and parsley and sprinkle on top.
