Mornings worth getting up for

Breakfast & Brunch

Weekday breakfasts you can make half-asleep and weekend brunches worth setting the table for, from five-minute overnight oats to a proper shakshuka.

Breakfast splits cleanly into two problems. On a weekday you need something that takes minutes or was made in advance, which is what the overnight oats, freezer burritos and six-minute omelette are for. At the weekend the constraint disappears and technique becomes the point, which is where the pancakes, French toast and shakshuka earn their place. Both halves are here, and each recipe says plainly which one it is.
