These cracker-like chips are made from frying cheese until it’s ultra-crispy. Although this Italian specialty is usually served as a light appetizer, it makes a great addition to a breakfast sandwich. Here it combines with dried tomatoes, arugula, provolone cheese, and an egg for one of our most creative (yet easy) Mediterranean breakfast recipes. 18 of the Best Cheese Dishes Ever Created in Our Test Kitchen 02 of 18 Zucchini and Tomato Frittata View Recipe Blaine Moats Try this simple and vegetable-rich Mediterranean breakfast recipe for a fresh twist on the classic egg breakfast. It’s filled with favorite Italian ingredients, including zucchini, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. You’ll also appreciate the ease—a frittata is an open-face omelet, meaning no tricky flipping is needed. 03 of 18 Blackberry-Ginger Overnight Bulgur View Recipe Blaine Moats This Mediterranean breakfast recipe features creamy, protein-rich Greek yogurt and bulgur, a whole-grain cereal that will help keep you satisfied all morning. And talk about simple—the entire dish takes just 10 minutes of prep the night before. When morning comes, simply stir and serve. 04 of 18 Oatmeal with Goat Cheese, Dates, Walnuts, and Honey View Recipe Blaine Moats Goat cheese, walnuts, dates, and honey transform plain old oatmeal into a craveable Mediterranean morning meal.

Even better: This all can be yours in just 20 minutes. 19 Healthy Make-Ahead Breakfasts to Make Mornings Easier 06 of 18 Egg White Scramble with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes View Recipe Jason Donnelly Prefer to hold the yolks? Try this low-cal (yet high-protein) Mediterranean diet breakfast recipe. Fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes play nicely with olive oil and garlic. Scramble in some egg whites as you toast a slice of bread, an English muffin, or a bagel, and dive right in—you’ll be well-fueled for hours. 07 of 18 Breakfast Ham and Egg Cups View Recipe Andy Lyons Breakfast casseroles are great, but sometimes they take too long to bake (for a weekday, at least!). Because it uses a muffin tin, this Mediterranean breakfast bake needs less than 20 minutes in the oven. Though the pesto is optional, we highly recommend it to add Italian appeal. Either purchased or homemade pesto will do. 15 Surprising Muffin Tin Recipes for Every Meal of the Day 08 of 18 Asparagus and Prosciutto Frittata View Recipe Andy Lyons This hearty Mediterranean breakfast recipe has prosciutto for extra protein and asparagus spears for a burst of fresh, earthy flavor.

Round out the dish with fresh herbs and lemon zest. 14 of 18 Spaghetti Squash Frittata Topped with Romesco View Recipe Carson Downing This frittata is loaded with tender spaghetti squash, kale, and eggs.
