Why this works
A sweet, moderate-energy breakfast with some protein, but relatively high in carbohydrate and sugars for the portion size.
Vitamin C from pineapple. Canned pineapple contributes vitamin C, though some is lost during canning and the syrup may add extra sugar.
Protein from egg. The egg provides a useful boost of protein and key nutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium.
Refined carbohydrate load. Bread and cereal make this dish more carbohydrate-dense, so it may cause a quicker rise in blood glucose if made with refined grains.
Method
- Drain the canned pineapple well and pat the rings or pieces dry with kitchen paper.
- Crush the cereal from the cereal box into coarse crumbs and spread them on a plate.
- Toast the bread until golden.
- If using egg, dip the pineapple briefly in beaten egg, then press into the crushed cereal to coat lightly.
- Warm a non-stick frying pan and cook the coated pineapple for 1–2 minutes on each side until crisp and lightly caramelised.
- Layer the crispy pineapple between the toasted bread to make stacks, then serve immediately.
