International Breakfast Recipes
From crisp tomato toast to buttery crepes, give your morning a change of scene. Choose a savoury plate, something sweet or a chilled mango drink to serve alongside. This collection brings together five breakfast and brunch ideas from our country cookbooks.
A good place to begin
Before you choose
Plan around resting and batch cooking
Crepe batter rests before cooking, potato pancakes fry in batches and lassi needs a refrigerated chill. Read the complete method, not just the active preparation label, before choosing what fits your morning.
Choose your accompaniments
Check the yield before shopping: the omelette is portioned as side servings and lassi is a drink. Add bread, fruit or other accompaniments separately to suit the meal you are planning.
Check everyone's ingredients
This selection includes eggs, dairy, wheat and fish sauce across different recipes. Read each ingredient list and allergen note before cooking for guests.

Pan con Tomate
A simple savoury start with ripe tomato, olive oil and crisp bread. The recipe describes both rubbing a soft tomato onto toast and using grated tomato pulp.
Kitchen tip: Toast first and add tomato just before eating. Prepare a second small batch when needed instead of letting a large platter become soggy.

French Butter Crepes
Thin, flexible crepes make a sweet breakfast or a leisurely brunch. Lemon and sugar keep the finish simple without hiding the buttery pancakes.
Kitchen tip: Allow the stated 30-minute batter rest; this is not a five-minute breakfast. Use the specified pan size and a lightly buttered surface rather than a pool of fat.

Thai Omelette (Kai Jiao)
An egg-based savoury option with crisp edges. The original amount makes two small omelettes, divided into four side portions rather than four large main meals.
Kitchen tip: Fish sauce means this recipe is not vegetarian. Rice or another accompaniment is separate from the recipe; do not assume it is included in the yield.

Lithuanian-Style Potato Pancakes
For a slower weekend brunch, try a crisp plate of grated-potato pancakes with sour cream and dill. Their savoury flavour makes a change from a sweet pancake breakfast.
Kitchen tip: The potatoes need grating and the pancakes fry in batches. Keep each pancake thin enough to cook through and serve promptly for the crispest texture.

Mango Lassi with Yogurt
A cold mango-and-yogurt drink to accompany breakfast, not a complete meal on its own. Cardamom adds a small aromatic note.
Kitchen tip: Use the weight of peeled, pitted mango flesh and pasteurised dairy. Allow the refrigerated chill before serving; do not leave the drink on a warm breakfast table.

Good to know
Are all five recipes traditional breakfast dishes?
No. This is a collection of ideas for breakfast and brunch. Some recipes come from other meal categories in our books, and lassi is a drink to serve alongside food.
Which option has the simplest preparation?
Tomato toast has a short ingredient list and no batter rest. You still need ripe tomatoes and freshly toasted bread. For crepes, pancakes and lassi, allow the resting, batch-cooking or chilling stages.
