Tasty and crisp, these veggie tarts with eggs are a delight.

There is nothing better than crisp, hot puff pastry. I have used my favourite fillings, but you can change them up if you have fussy eaters. The egg is essential. Break the egg into a cup so it is easy to tip in.

Options from sweet to savoury.

Homemade breakfast tortillas with bacon and avocado. Yet another breakfast taco combo. This recipe includes more labour, as the tortillas are made from scratch, but trust us, it will be worth it once they’re served up with crispy bacon.

Breakfast bread. This bread is packed with lots of goodies — grated apple, ginger, fine coconut and pumpkin and sesame seed are mixed in to make up a hearty loaf.

Halloumi, spinach and dill fritters. Eleanor Ozich suggests serving these crispy, cheesy fritters with Greek yoghurt and a sprinkling of dukkah.

Kūmara waffles with poached fruit and mascarpone. Mashed orange kūmara adds a rich and sweet taste to these waffles. Angela Casley suggests adding a topping of stewed apples (but any winter fruits will also serve you well).

Crispy kale, cucumber and goat’s cheese tortillas. The freshness of these eggs tacos is amplified with a squeeze of lemon and parsley. Charred canned sweetcorn adds a smoky complexity.
