Can't imagine your morning without eggs? A fun and quick way to cook them is by making eggs in a blanket. Using a cookie cutter, scoop out the centre of a bread slice according to your desired shape. Heat butter in a pan and place the bread on it. Break an egg into the hollow centre and then let it cook. Finish with seasonings and fresh herbs and enjoy.

2. Pesto and paneer toast

For those who love pesto, this is sure to be a favourite. Make a batch of fresh pesto at home or get hold of a bottle from the stores. Heat a little butter in a pan, and saute crumbled paneer for a minute or two. Remove from pan and add seasonings. Heat a slice of bread in a toaster, and then smear it with pesto and top with paneer. It's as simple as that.

4. Tomato mozzarella toast

Love pizzas? You can make a mini version for your breakfast with minimum effort. Top bread slices with mozzarella, tomato and basil and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until crisp.

5. Caramelised onion and bacon toast

Only time consuming part of this is making caramelised onions. But once you are past that, all you need to do is mix it with chopped bacon, top it on bread slices and bake for 10 minutes. You can also make the onions the night before and store it in the fridge.
