5 easy breakfasts you can make in your serviced apartment.
Easy breakfasts are for when you just need something quick to last you through until lunch. If you’re not a morning person, we could all agree that getting up earlier to make a hearty breakfast is close to an impossible task, especially when you always have busy mornings. When a Greek yogurt and English muffin just won’t cut it anymore, it’s time for some quick healthy breakfast ideas.
And you don’t have to fret over how to start learning to cook. Doesn’t matter if you’re staying in a serviced apartment (or aparthotel as some would call it) for a short-term work trip or nestling in a long-term rental apartment, here are some healthy yet easy breakfast recipes that require little preparation and minimal cleaning.
Overnight oat
The fastest way to make an easy breakfast ready is to do it the night before, and it doesn’t even take more than 10 minutes to make.
Once you get the basic proportions right, we encourage you to get creative with the ingredients! You can even add almond butter or maple syrup and brown sugar to add a little twist to your oats, and top it all off with some fresh fruit and fresh berries.
This is ready to be eaten right out of the fridge but if you’re not a fan of a cold breakfast, simply pop the jar into a microwave for a minute to warm it up! This is definitely one of the easiest grab-and-go breakfasts out there, not to mention a nutritious morning meal.
Apple cinnamon oatmeal
Another make-ahead breakfast goodness. For a more environmentally friendly option, prepare the oatmeal in a recyclable microwave-safe container.
On-the-go smoothies
Making a smoothie is easy, but getting the ingredients ready costs you precious time in the morning. So, cut up the fruits to blend and keep them in the freezer the night before to save time. We also recommend using a personal blender so you can enjoy your smoothies on your way to work!
Fabulous Frittata
This easy breakfast dish is perfect for mornings when you have a tad more time to start your day with a delicious breakfast. All you need is to whisk together some eggs, any milk, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Then, saute your vegetables until its tender, before you pour in the egg mixture. To switch it up, you can add cheese on top, and transfer the pan into a 400-degree oven, which most fully-furnished serviced apartments have.
Just bake it for 15 to 20 minutes, or until you see that the eggs are set and that the top is lightly golden at the edges.
Classic Singapore’s eggs and toast
This is one of the most loved quick breakfast recipes in Singapore. Simply toast some bread, then slice up some butter, before you spread some kaya over your bread. To cook soft-boiled, simply submerge your eggs in a pot of boiling water, and then turn off the heat. Cook for 6-7 minutes with the lid closed.
There are two ways to eat it Some would dip the kaya toast into the eggs. But we’re purists: we keep them separate.
French Toast
This may be one quick breakfast idea that you didn’t think of. french toasts are as easy to make as they are delicious. Here’s our quick and easy french toast recipe:
To start, spread some cream cheese over your bread. You can add something sweet to balance it out too, like honey or marmalade. Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, and then place them on your skillet. Once you’ve cooked it until it turns golden brown (which usually takes 2-3 minutes), you can start serving it, and drizzle the syrup to your heart’s content!
Scrambled Eggs
If you need a bit more protein in the morning hours, scrambled eggs are the way to go. And sure, you’ve heard of the Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs. But fear not, scrambled eggs is a pretty easy breakfast dish to make too. Simply whisk eggs, milk, and some salt, and cook it over medium heat. Once you see the bottom layer start to cook, gently whip the egg from one end of the pan to the other. Repeat that across areas of the egg that aren’t cooked.
You can even fry some crispy bacon, breakfast sausage, or even some sweet potato chips to add a little more flavour and texture to your meal. There are people who have scrambled eggs with cherry tomatoes too. For something a little heartier, simply toast some whole-grain bread to go with your scrambled eggs.
