VEGEMITE Breakfast Muffins

Bake a batch of these tasty VEGEMITE muffins to give you and your family a delicious start to the day. These are also great for breakfast on the go or added to a lunchbox.

Prep Time 10 mins

Cooking Time 20 mins

Makes 6

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 6 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 1 tablespoon VEGEMITE
  • 30 g finely chopped spinach
  • ¼ cup (30 g) grated reduced fat tasty cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped raw bacon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C/170°C fan-forced and brush a 6-hole large muffin tin with a little of the melted butter.
  2. Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin until very thin. Brush both sides of the bread with melted butter. Spread one side only with VEGEMITE. Press 1 slice of bread, with the VEGEMITE facing up, into each hole in the muffin tin.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread is slightly firm. Remove the tin from the oven and sprinkle spinach and cheese into each bread cup. Crack 1 egg into each cup. Season with freshly ground black pepper and top with the bacon.
  4. Bake for a further 15 minutes or until the whites are set. Remove from the tin and sprinkle with the chives before serving.

Recipe
Samkeh Harra (fish with tahini sauce and nuts)

‘Fish doesn’t have to be boring—my mother taught me that. Samkeh harra translates to “spicy fish,” though it’s more about a gentle kick than true heat. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, nutty tahini and the crunch of golden, roasted nuts. Oh, I do love nuts! I usually overload my plate so you almost can’t see the fish anymore, but that’s me. The nuts bring a deep, toasty richness that elevates the dish into something truly irresistible.’

Portuguese Chicken and Fries

Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.

Cherry clafoutis

I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
