For those of you who don’t follow me on social I spent some of my Christmas holidays in Istanbul – my favourite City to date! I loved everything about the place from the people, culture and of course the food. The traditional Turkish breakfast made getting up for the breakfast exciting and oh so worth it. A traditional breakfast is comprised of boiled eggs, a mix of raw nuts, dried fruits including figs and apricots, honey (which tasted so good there), traditional jams, toasted breads (simit is a typical sesame bagel style bread there), a mix of cheeses, olive in oil and diced tomatoes.
Of course I got slightly obsessed with this mix of sweet and savoury and almost pick and mix breakfast so when I got home I had to somewhat make a Irish style version whilst being simple and one you could have every day.
