Breakfast Parfait (Breakfast Trifle)

I’m not much for breakfast, except on weekends when I have time for a leisurely brunch on the veranda with a big bowl of coffee and my latest cookbook. Then I do like the crunch of toasted muesli (especially Phillippa’s cranberry granola) with the creamy tang of a thick natural yoghurt. Toss in a bit of fruit and suddenly we have something that looks quite fancy and tastes even better: a breakfast parfait (also called a breakfast trifle). Use a mixture of berries – raspberries, blueberries and strawberries – in this yogurt parfait if you like, and pour a glass of Innocent Bystander pink moscato just for fun – with its gentle fizz, slight sweetness and 5.5% alcohol, it’s the perfect breakfast wine! Don’t assemble your breakfast parfait too far ahead of time or the muesli will start to go soggy. See video below for another fruity dish that’s great for breakfast or dessert.

Serves 2

Ingredients
  • 125g strawberries (4½oz)
  • 200g toasted muesli (7oz)
  • 1 cup plain natural yoghurt (250ml)
  • 1 passionfruit
  • Honey, for drizzling
Method
  1. Hull and slice strawberries and mash them slightly (add a dash of Cointreau if you like).
  2. Divide half the muesli between 2 glasses or bowls.
  3. Top with half the yoghurt.
  4. Divide strawberries between the glasses.
  5. Add remaining muesli then remaining yoghurt.
  6. Spoon passionfruit over the top, drizzle with a little honey and serve your yoghurt parfait immediately.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

Your recipes are something I always feel confident offering guests and also reasonable in the time to prepare. We often try your recommended wines and suppliers and enjoy your travel tales too!

I find your weekly check-in to my kitchen an inspiration with chatty, warm, inspiring dishes to experience. Recently I was looking for a recipe for Persian spice blend advieh and yours was the first to catch my attention, even before I knew it was written by you. What a fun surprise to see your happy, calming face with a new friend sharing the benefits of Persian cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's classes – the family are reaping the benefits now.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
