Aubergine shakshuka

This shakshuka is spicy, rich and absolutely delicious. Laced with garlic and cumin, it's made with aubergines, garlicky tomato sauce, feta and baked eggs, making it a really satisfying brunch dish. Serve it up with warm pitta or toasted sourdough – perfect for soaking up every last bit of the sauce.

Feta, spinach and caramelised onion omelette

Ready in just 20 minutes, this vegetarian omelette is the best kind of chuck-it-all-in recipe. We think the ingredients – sticky, caramelised onions, spinach and tangy feta – are made for each other, but you can experiment with whatever vegetables and cheeses you have to hand.

Courgette, broad bean and pea quiches

Packed with fresh broad beans, peas and courgettes, these individual quiches are one of the tastiest possible ways to eat your greens. They're great to make in summer when the vegetables are in season, but you can also make the recipe with frozen beans and peas in colder months, too.

Egg fried rice

Once you've nailed this simple egg fried rice recipe, you'll never bother with a takeaway again. You can include whatever extra ingredients you like, but we think our version – complete with succulent, wok-fried prawns and sweet, crunchy cabbage – is a winner.
