If you’re ever in need of a grain/gluten/wheat/dairy free breakfast, give this one a go. Admittedly you’ll need to get over breakfast time being a carb fest, but it tastes great and all that protein does set you up well for the day.
As an added bonus, you’ll get 2 portions of your 5 a day in before even leaving the house!
Breakfast Stir Fry
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- A large handful of shredded veggies. I used carrots white cabbage, spring onions & chilli pepper but get creative!
- A little oil butter or bacon grease
- 2 rashers bacon
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Chop the bacon up in to little pieces and fry until cooked just how you like it. Add in the veggies and stir fry for a few minutes.
- Crack in the egg and whisk it up with a spoon or fork thereby scrambing it around the bacon & veggies.
- Dish it up whilst there is still a little bit of wet showing on the egg. The residual heat from the other ingredients will finish it cooking without making the egg dry.

Now that’s a good breakie! My brother often makes similar breakfast stir fries and although I’m never particularly keen on the idea, once I get chowing down I really get it for breakie. Such a great way to start the day. Am posting to be breakfast board for sure!

It’s a bit weird to start with, but once you stop thinking you need a plate or bowlful of carbs for breakfast, it kind of opens you up to a whole world of possibilities!

What a GREAT idea Janie! I love this, and any stir-fry has my name on it, as it’s so easy to rustle together!
Jane Sarchet says
Really easy Karen, and I keep a tub of chopped veggies in the fridge which make it even easier :)

Coo! A breakfast stir fry sounds very novel and I’d definitely be up for it!
Jane Sarchet says
It’s definitely tastier & more filling than a bowl of cornflakes Sarah :)

That is such a wholesome breakfast and the protein boost guarantees a slow and steady release of much needed morning energy! Jane I notice the egg yolks are quite dark yellow is that because your chickens are corn fed or have lots of carrots in their diet (meaning more beta carotene) ? Now I am a total novice with chickens and what they need to be fed on but at an event yesterday we used italian eggs with darkkkk yellow yolks!
Jane Sarchet says
Hey Manjiri! Free range chooks have bright yellow yolks, due to the grass and bugs they eat. Ours get brighter this time of year as the fresh spring grass is growing.
Corn changes the colour of the skin of the bird (making it yellower) but ours get corn as a treat all year round, so not sure how much effect it has on the colour of the yolks :)

I looks delicious. Plus bacon. EVERYTHING is better with bacon. I admit, if I can’t get my fresh bagel, having a carb fest isn’t as appealing, so this looks amazing.

“EVERYTHING is better with bacon”
I might get that etched on my gravestone :)

Jane, I love the idea of a breakfast stir-fry! Must try it soon and resist my natural inclination to have some bread or toast along with it, thus negating the whole point! :D
Jane Sarchet says
Haha, I know what you mean! Toast is my nemesis, I swear I could eat a whole loaf if it were toasted!
But sadly it doesn’t make me feel so good anymore, hence me finding new ideas for breakie :D

I have been known to eat a leftover takeaway for breakfast, which, although far less healthy, runs along the same lines of thinking! I’ll give this a go…
Jane Sarchet says
Oooh, cold pizza makes the BEST breakie ever!
