Toasted Crumpets And Fruit

I am a student, and I hate to admit that I fit the stereotype of not being able to cook. When I lived in student accommodation for my first year of university, the microwave was my best friend, and I looked forward to the weekends so I could get home cooked food from my parents. At twenty years of age, it's a little bit embarrassing to say that you can't cook, so this summer I'm trying to learn though the help of a couple of cookbooks and my not-so-patient parents.

I started with breakfast, the most important meal of the day. I got this recipe for toasted crumpets with warm spiced berries, yoghurt and honey from The Hairy Dieters cookbook.

What you will need:

• Crumpets (two per person)
• 100g fat-free Greek Yoghurt 
• 150g ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 50g of raspberries
• 50g of blueberries
• 2 big pinches of ground mixed spice
• 2tsp of runny honey for drizzling

Toast the crumpets in either a toaster or under the grill until they are lightly browned. I used the grill because my toaster seems to have a mind of its own. Pop the yoghurt into a bowl and mix until it turns glossy.

Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add all of the fruit. Sprinkle with 2 good pinches of the ground mixed spice and cook for just a minute. Make sure to toss the fruit regularly until it is softened but still holding its shape. (Tossing the fruit didn't go so well for me, so I kind of just mixed it around with a spoon).

Pop your crumpets on a plate and spoon the fruit over the top. Add the yoghurt and drizzle with honey to top it all off.

Let me know what you thought of this recipe. It was super easy to make and I thought it tasted great. Are there any other breakfast recommendations you think I could try?
