Sometimes the only thing getting me through the morning is knowing I have the ability to prepare myself a quick & whimsical breakfast.
I am drawn to color and magic, and this 5 minute breakfast embodies the fantastical vibe of a breakfast fit for a fairy.
And the great news is that it tastes just as good as it looks! This has been my fixation breakfast this past week and I hope it becomes yours too.
Feel free to enjoy this recipe year round, but I know figs are a rare seasonal fruit, so perhaps try making this meal during the summertime, or whenever figs are available in your area!
