Breakfast in a Jiffy

Most of the days my mornings are spent in a flurry of activities. Getting my son ready for school, preparing lunch AND breakfast and getting ready for office are just to name a few.

I hardly have 2 hours between the time I wake up and Arya and Harshal to leave for their respective destinations. This means that making breakfast needs to be an extremely quick activity. While store bought cereal comes in handy in extreme time crunch, one of my favorite go to items is a Fried Egg with Red Onions, Arugula and Raspberries on a Multigrain Toast.

While it can be prepared in such a jiffy, once you make it, you really wish that you should sit down and make time to enjoy it. It looks fantastic, tastes great, can be prepared quickly and cannot get any healthier than this.
