Mediterranean Breakfast

Mediterranean Diet Breakfast options include high protein meals with eggs and whole grain dishes like oats and quinoa.  Traditional Mediterranean Breakfasts vary by region but may include sliced deli meats, freshly baked bread, a variety of cheeses, fresh fruit, and Greek yogurt.  Fruit preserves, nuts, and honey are served alongside the bread as the Mediterranean region is full of fruit-bearing trees like oranges, lemons, peaches, and cherries.   In Greece, to-go breakfast includes sweet and savory Greek pastries like bougatsa, tiropita, and spanakopita hand pies.   Grilled toasts are also served with ham and cheese for a simple, filling breakfast.
