Patties for Breakfast anyone?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day we've heard for as long as we can remember! Yet so many people I've come to realise don't indulge in this as they should sighting many reasons as not being able to eat so early or don't have the time to get up and do it and blah blah blah, it goes on! I am however a firm believer in breakfast, and while it must be the most important, it doesn't have to be the large fare so many think it is. Filling and effective fuel is what breakfast should be. You wouldn't put inferior fuel into your car and expect it to run properly would you? So why do that to your body?

For those without the time or want something simple, here's a quick and easy 'all-in-one' Patty, packed with all the good foods your body deserves to start the day. Caveat - assumes you have left over sweet potato or pumpkin from last night's dinner in your fridge or you can cook 2 medium sweet potatoes.

Ingredients;
1 can tuna, small onion (diced), 2 plummy tomatoes (chopped), 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (either use leftover or cook potatoes and then mash), 1 egg white

Preheat oven 350F, lightly spray baking dish/sheet/pan,

Combine onions, tomatoes, tuna. Mix in mashed potato until fully combined. Add egg whites and combine ensuring all is mixed in. Using hands, form balls of mixture, and place in baking dish flattening either using bottom of glass or with/in hands before placing in dish.



Bake in oven for 12 mins or until edges get slightly browned.


Serves 1 - 2 people.
