Want to linger a little over breakfast? A relaxed morning meal is easy to pull off with a simple menu that comes together quickly but delivers big flavours. Forget prepping for hours: each component takes 30 minutes or less to pull together and is special enough to serve as a treat for yourself or to a small crowd.
