Handheld breakfasts are a real bonus for  busy folks.  Especially important for she who mans the galley but would rather be out sailing.  Healthy, make ahead, this next recipe is perfect for a tasty on-the-go meal.

I make them in the evening, clean up all the cooking mess, stash them away in the refrigerator so all we have to think about in the morning is making that first cup of coffee before heading out.

They were perfect added to a car picnic for a recent early morning road trip (click here for the story)…

SPICY SALMON BREAKFAST MUFFINS

what you will need

1/3 cup chopped fresh parlsey

1 cup mashed potatoes (I’ve used both sweet and regular white potatoes and both were very nice)

1 tsp dried dill

1/2 tsp dried chilis

1 tbsp grated lemon rind

grind or two of salt and pepper

3 eggs, lightly beaten

putting it all together

In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients.

Heat oven to 350 ° or if using stove top Omnia heat the base plate

Spoon salmon mixture into prepared muffin tins.

Bake in conventional oven for 20-25 minutes,

same amount of time for stove top method,

or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out cleanly.
