Summer Breakfast Idea FAQs
What are some light breakfast options for summer?
Light breakfast options for summer include chilled yogurt bowls, crepes with fruit and cream cheese, a bagel egg in a hole with smashed avocados, and baked egg muffins with herbs and seasonal vegetables. Fresh produce options like peaches, melon or berries add color and flavor to your plate, especially if you like starting your day with fruit for breakfast.
What should I make for breakfast on a hot day?
For a hot summer day, chilled breakfasts like fruit-topped cottage cheese, strawberry soup, yogurt smoothies or even cold breakfast salads hit the spot. A slice of toast with ricotta and honey or a bagel with cream cheese and cucumbers are great no-cook meal options. You can add toasted seeds or fruity granola for an extra crunch. To keep mornings cool, prep toppings and spreads ahead and store them in airtight containers.
What are some quick summer recipes?
Quick summer breakfast recipes with minimal prep include ricotta toast with honey, tomato steak sandwiches, quinoa with fresh fig and honey-balsamic parfaits, scrambled egg wraps, and soft-boiled egg salads with citrus vinaigrettes. Keep staples like cooked grains, hard-boiled eggs and fresh herbs prepped ahead for quick assembly.
