Perfect weekend breakfast: ghee roasted plantains, and eggs wrapped in coconut crepes…
One of my favorite breakfast is ripe plantains roasted in ghee and beaten eggs scrambled with them. A bowl of this makes a healthy breakfast and is filling. For Saturday breakfast, I made a twist and wrapped the ghee roasted plantains in coconut crepes. Tasted delish. This can be made even more delicious by drizzling chocolate syrup over the crepe or how about topping with ice cream? Mmmm, absolutely Yum!
