Smoked haddock and cheese sauce breakfast

SMOKED HADDOCK AND CHEESE SAUCE SUGGESTIONS

The smoked haddock and onions take five minutes to make and come together beautifully, and you can add some fresh herbs. The cheese bechamel sauce is also very simple and is beautifully rich and smooth. If you want to add even more protein and breakfast flavour, some silky scrambled eggs turn this into a more fully-loaded breakfast. We suggest having some pan-fried ciabatta or sourdough bread toast with this delicious recipe. You can’t go wrong with a side of sliced avocado topped with salt, freshly ground pepper and a sprinkling of olive oil.
