The best breakfasts are those which offer a good balance of carbs, fats and all important protein.
This gluten, grain free and high protein breakfast makes a great start to the day. It is very flavoursome which seems to make it more satisfying.
The recipe also offers a hefty dose of good essential fats. The benefit of a meal like this, is that helps your blood sugar get you through the morning; hopefully reducing the mid-morning sweet attack and the need for more coffee.
This little combo of huge mushrooms topped with sardines are good nutritionally sound option. It’s gluten, dairy and grain free too!
Prep time: Peeling the huge mushrooms – 2 minutes?
Cook time: Around 15 minutes
Grill: High

- 1 x 135 g Can* of Sardines in Sunflower or Olive Oil, mashed
*We use the sustainably fished ‘Fish 4 Ever’ brand.
Method
- Turn the grill to high.
- Have a flat baking dish; the heavier Pyrex ones seem better.
- Open the sardines and pour half the oil onto the dish.
- Place the peeled mushrooms in the oil, black side up.
- Pour the rest of the oil from the tin into the top of the mushrooms and grill on high for 5 minutes.
- Then turn over and grill for a further 5 minutes.

- Grill for a further 5 minutes and serve with fresh toms and some greenery.
