Classic kiwi breakfasts
These breakfasts have been fuelling kiwi kids for generations.
Kūtai (mussel) and kūmara fritters
Preparation time: 25 minutes
These kūtai (mussel) fritters are a great Kiwi classic and delicious served as breakfast or brunch. You can also use corn instead of kūtai, or even fresh, canned, or smoked fish.
Rewena paraoa
Preparation time: 1 hour
Rewena paraoa is a traditional Māori bread. It has a lovely light texture with a slightly sour tang (similar to sourdough bread).
Spaghetti scramble
Preparation time: 20 minutes
This combines two kiwi favourites – spaghetti and scrambled eggs.
Bacon and eggs
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Bacon and eggs - yum! A tasty kiwi favourite. You'll be sure to impress the whānau. Choose lean bacon with little visible fat.
Wheat biscuits and milk
Preparation time: 2 minutes
Wheat biscuits have been fuelling kiwis since Sir Ed climbed Mt Everest. At under 50-cents for two wheat biscuits and milk, this is one of the cheapest breakfast options. Perfect for an after-school snack too.
Cheesy beans on toast
Preparation time: 4 minutes
A kiwi favourite for generations. Just minutes from can to plate. Give kids the energy they need to play better.
Left-over custard and fruit
Preparation time: 2 minutes
Custard is a traditional kiwi dessert. But add some fruit to left-over custard and you've got a breakfast that will have the kids ready to power through the day. Make extra custard the night before and save some for breakfast.
Perfect pikelets
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Pikelets have long been a kiwi favourite. Make these on Sunday afternoon so they are ready for the week ahead. These also make tasty lunchbox snacks.
Winter wheat biscuits
Preparation time: 3 minutes
Warm milk turns wheat biscuits into a hearty, warming breakfast on cooler days. Warm up and kick-start your brain and body with this tasty, low-cost breakfast.
Homemade toasted muesli
Preparation time: 30 minutes
This will be a winner with your family. Much tastier and cheaper than store bought - plus, less sugar and fat! There's no need to follow the recipe exactly - use whatever you have on hand, or whatever your family likes.
