Halloumi Cooked Breakfast: A Hearty Start to the Day

Halloumi Cooked Breakfast: A Hearty Start to the Day

Perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a brunch that actually keeps you full, this plate is a mix of grilled goodness and fresh fuel.


πŸ›’ Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 2 large mushrooms – the bigger, the better
  • 4 free-range eggs – better for you and the chickens πŸ“
  • 1 block of halloumi (approx. 225g)
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • Toasted Warburtons wholemeal squares or pitta bread – a lighter alternative to traditional toast

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Method

1. Grill the Halloumi & Tomatoes

  • Slice your halloumi into 6 thick slices
  • Place them in a flat oven dish (this keeps them from falling through the oven rack)
  • Slice the tomatoes in half and add them alongside the cheese
  • Grill in the oven at 180Β°C (fan) until the halloumi turns golden (around 10–12 mins), flipping halfway through

2. Poach the Eggs

  • Boil water in a saucepan and add 1 tbsp vinegar
  • Stir the water gently to create a whirlpool
  • Crack in an egg and reduce heat to a simmer
  • Poach for 1–3 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and set on toasted squares or pitta
  • Repeat for the second batch

3. Cook the Mushrooms

  • While everything else cooks, grill or pan-fry your mushrooms with a dash of olive oil
  • Keep them whole or slice in halves, depending on preference

4. Serve & Enjoy

  • Share out the grilled halloumi, tomatoes, mushrooms, and poached eggs over toast.
  • Season with cracked black pepper or chilli flakes if you like a little kick.

πŸ’‘ Bonus Tips

  • Want to add greens? Wilted spinach or smashed avocado works great here
  • For extra flavour, drizzle with a little olive oil and lemon juice
  • Looking for a low-carb version? Swap toast for grilled aubergine rounds

This breakfast is not only delicious but keeps you full and energised all morning β€” and it’s a great protein-rich vegetarian option.
