Quark casserole tastes like dessert for breakfast. The dish is filling, rich in protein and wonderfully versatile. The perfect start to the day.
A nutritious breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. It provides the body with energy in order to be able to cope with all upcoming tasks and challenges with flying colors. In addition to avocado bread, porridge and the like, the nutritious breakfast menu has a lot more to offer. How about a creamy curd casserole, for example? Satisfying, rich in protein and incredibly tasty at the same time.
All breakfast or what?
As is well known, opinions differ when it comes to nutrition, and this also applies to breakfast. Recommendations for the optimal first meal – if you take them at all in times of intermittent fasting – are a dime a dozen. The German Nutrition Society recommends a serving of fruit or vegetables, whole grain products, plenty of protein and enough liquid, preferably in the form of unsweetened tea and water. These components should always be included in a balanced breakfast. Shouldn’t be that difficult, right?
Fit enjoyment
The quark casserole tastes wonderfully creamy and is more reminiscent of a dessert than a balanced breakfast. So all the better that it has a lot to offer in terms of nutritional technology – double profit, so to speak.
Eggs, quark and spelled semolina form the basis. The former provide the body with a good portion of easily digestible protein. Spelled semolina provides complex carbohydrates, numerous minerals and fiber and thus contributes to lasting satiety. For the taste, coconut blossom sugar migrates into the dough, which – unlike table sugar – has a low glycemic index and therefore hardly causes the blood sugar level to rise. It also contains numerous vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc and potassium as well as the fiber inulin. You can find out which other sugar alternatives are available and how they differ here.
Last but not least, blueberries provide the body with antioxidants, trace elements, vitamins and minerals. Of course, there are no limits to your imagination. Use the fruit you have at home right now and give the basic recipe an individual touch. In addition to various fresh types of fruit, dried fruits, nuts, cocoa powder or spices such as cinnamon are ideal for creating a varied new favorite breakfast. Bon Appetit.
