Let's be serious - french toast with ricotta is amazing, three-egg omelets are delish, but on the weekdays, I want to start the day with something a bit more basic, but tasty and filling nonetheless. The idea for this came while I was brewing my essential morning coffee and rubbing extra virgin olive oil on my elbows; it occurred to me: why not add some EVOO to my yogurt? I'm a big fan of olive oil gelato, and also a fan of adding olive oil to everything, so it was a logical breakfast creation.
For this recipe, I blend plain, full fat greek yogurt with raw coconut, then sprinkle with pecan pieces and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, finished with a touch of sea salt. It's sweet and salty and filling. I also sometimes use plain yogurt, and drizzle with honey and EVOO - even more medi-delicious.
Ingredients
