Easy and Healthy, Kid-Friendly Breakfast Recipe

Chorizo, mushroom, egg and cheese in beetroot wrap cups

Some of my Instagram followers have asked me to post kid-friendly recipes. I love cooking with my kids. As much as it can be a challenge sometimes to involve them, I find that showing them how to make something increases their interest in trying new things. !

We made this super simple beetroot wrap breakfast recipe over the weekend and we all loved it! We filled the wraps with chorizo, mushrooms, eggs and cheese but you could use any ingredients that will work well in an omelette and it will taste delicious! Rather than creating a usual breakfast wrap, I cut up the wraps and pushed them down into a muffin tray.

After just a few minutes in the oven, I had six impressive-looking and delicious tasting healthy breakfast option.

To make 4 portions:

Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 160 degrees

• Cut the wraps in half, fold them into the muffin tray (don’t forget to use spray ‘n cook like I did!)

• Fry the chorizo and mushrooms and then spoon into the muffin tray

• Add two eggs per unit

• Top with grated cheese, thyme, salt and pepper

• Put the muffin tray in the oven and bake on 160 degrees for 12 minutes.
  Check if the eggs are cooked through, otherwise leave in the oven for a few more minutes.

Shawn Godfrey is an entrepreneur based in Cape Town, South Africa. After the Covid-19 lockdown saw his business in financial distress, cooking was the creative outlet that helped to keep him sane. To keep track of his recipes, and encourage friends and families to join him, he starts his instagram account The Roasted Dad.

Fast-forward to late 2021 - on a whim Shawn (encouraged by his wife Lianne) enters MasterChef South Africa. It is a crazy time of life: running a 200 people business and struggling to keep it profitable, two small children with a third on the way, and about to move into a new house. But when Shawn gets selected to be one of the 20 contestants participating in the fourth season of MasterChef South Africa, he decides to go all in. Leaving his 7-month-pregnant wife to look after their then three and one-year-old children, he battles it out and comes back home five weeks later with the trophy and a million rand prize money in his pocket.

It all started with an Instagram account, but The Roasted Dad is so much more now. Shawn has stayed his entrepreneurial self and whilst he hosts Private Dinner Parties and Cook-with-Me Demos, does Restaurant Take-Overs, he still runs the lighting company and several other businesses.

On his blog, Shawn shares Restaurant Reviews and Accommodation Reviews, and gives an insight into the wild and wonderful life he leads together with his wife Lianne, and their three children Aiden (6), Olivia (4) and Harvey (2).
