BEST BREAKFAST




Totally inspired by (slash totally ripped off from) one of my favourite places for breakfast in my neighbourhood, Fego’s. Fego in St. John’s Wood is the only London branch of this South African chain, though the feel of the place (and its food) defies being that of a “chain-restaurant”. They do incredible breakfasts (umm, hello... Crunchy Nut French Toast?!), and they always have delicious freshly baked goodies on display! My favourite thing on the whole entire menu, however, is.... The Salmon, Avocado and Tzatziki Croissant

First, make a batch of Tzatziki… I usually make loads as it is yummy on anything! Grilled fish, roasted vegetables, Kettle Chips, Ryvita, or, you know, straight into my mouth…


            1 pot of Greek yoghurt
            1 clove of garlic
            1 cucumber, de-seeded and diced
            handful of fresh dill
            salt to taste

In a food processor blitz the garlic, cucumber and dill. Add this mixture to the Greek yoghurt and salt to taste.

            2 fresh, flakey, buttery croissants (I got mine from Maison Blanc)
            1 sliced ripe avocado
            few slices of good quality smoked salmon
            slathering of the Tzatziki

Open up the fresh, flakey croissant and layer up slices of smoked salmon and avocado, before slathering the whole lot with Tzatziki. Serve with a fresh cup of coffee or fresh grapefruit juice! (… or any breakfast accompaniment you fancy… mimosas, anyone?)



P.S. Apologies to SS and KHC… I know how much you two detest avocadoes (SS) and smoked salmon (KHC). To that, all I can say is…
