A couple of weeks ago I shared some of my fave Weight Watchers recipes and (surprisingly) they all involved chicken.

So… as I don’t want you to think I’m showing our feathered friends any favouritism, I wanted to share another recipe which I’ve made a couple of times and enjoyed. And – it’s a breakfast dish.

Anyone who knows me knows:

1. I eat the same thing for breakfast ALL OF THE TIME.
2. Breakfast/brunch is my favourite meal to eat out. 

This recipe – which is actually one I tried in my first week or two of Weight Watchers – is from the Simple Start program and perfect for a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning – and ‘special’ enough you can pretend you’re dining out.

However, it’s actually pretty quick and easy to make, so also serves as a more-exciting weekday alternative to baked beans from a tin.

Most importantly it’s healthy and keeps you / your kids full for hours. In fact, you’ll note that the dish is so low in ProPoints that the Simple Start breakfast menu (above) even recommends a banana chaser!

Oh, and like I said, it’s easy! (#Obvs, or I wouldn’t be making it!) Although I did have to google ‘sumac’ when I first came across it. And I leave out the mint, cos… well, #yuck!

I should mention that I’ve actually (ahem) adapted this recipe as well (and yes, I know… my genius knows no bounds!).

You can add bacon or ham and cherry tomatoes, use kidney beans or mixed beans instead of chickpeas (which I *may* have done once having started cooking before discovering I had no chickpeas. D’oh!) and crumble low fat feta cheese onto the cooked dish instead of the ricotta. Best of all it’s gluten-free and (as a coeliac) I don’t need to adapt the recipe at all.

I’m a fan of protein-laden breakfasts so I like to add low-fat ham/bacon and have it in a bowl with bits of the (still soft but not runny) egg scattered throughout; but you could of course serve it more attractively on a piece of bread/toast with greenery (if you have no imagination)!

So… could Persian eggs tempt you away from your usual fare?
