Recipes that suit you: A day on my plate!
It is not always easy to cook healthy and gourmet recipes - eating salads or butter pasta is not quite gourmet. Let us take you for a day on our plates.
On the menu: easy, healthy and delicious recipes from breakfast to dinner!
1- Eggs and carrot waffles brunch style
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the ideal moment to fill up on energy. Everybody knows that having a balanced diet includes eating fresh fruits, vegetables, a bit of cheese, cereals or bread, the winning combination to start a great day. However, we also know it is not always the case when the alarm rings too late, motivation is hard to find and it leaves room for not exactly homemade snacks. Today, say not to a quick breakfast, usual tasteless recipes, not to the cereal bowl, oat porridge or granola, Greek yoghurt with 0% fat, passion-less quick recipes! Today, Bonduelle is giving you the opportunity to prepare a delicious meal to get in the mood for the day!
Start the day on the right side of the bed with a delicious waffle, some jam and a soft-boiled egg. The occasion to let your love of food express itself guilt-free (and why not even add a drizzle of maple syrup). Of course, have this breakfast with a nice tea or coffee and don’t forget some juice too!

For the waffles
125g of grated carrots au citron de Sicile Bonduelle
3 eggs
50g of melted butter
250g of flour
40cl of milk
½ bag of baking powder
2 pinches of ground cumin
Fine salt, ground pepper
For the soft-boiled eggs
4 large eggs extra-frais
Steps not to be missed!
Step 1: Prepare the waffle dough. Break the eggs and whisk them with the melted butter.
Step 2: Sieve the flour with the baking powder. Add them to the eggs and mix.
Step 3: Dig a hole in the middle and slowly incorporate the milk while stirring: there should not be any traces of flour and baking powder left. Add the cumin and a pinch of salt, some pepper. You can also use a blender to make this salter waffle dough.
Step 4: Finally, add the grated carrots and mix the dough until it is uniform.
Step 5: Preheat the waffle iron. Lightly oil it or butter it and cook your waffles: beware the preparation will get bigger, do not put too much of it in the waffle iron! Repeat until there is no dough left. Set aside.
Step 6: While the waffles are baking, cook the soft-boiled eggs. Put them in salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Put an end to the cooking by putting them under cold water.
Step 7: Put them in egg cups and serve hot with the carrots waffles - which can also be dipped in the eggs!
