If you suffer from a gluten allergy, you may find yourself declining invitations to breakfast restaurants. Perth venues seldom advertise gluten free menu items, but there are a number of choices even on a standard menu, which may be available to you. These gluten free breakfast ideas are usually available on many breakfast menus and will allow you to join in the social activity of a lazy weekend breakfast with your friends or family.
Cooked Breakfast Items:
There are a number of items on a cooked breakfast menu which are usually gluten free. These include:
• Eggs: You could choose to have an omelette filled with plenty of fresh vegetables, which is naturally gluten free. If you prefer your eggs scrambled or fried, you may need to pair it with some cooked mushrooms or bacon to make it feel more like a complete meal. Just be sure that the bacon producer has not used gluten as filler.
• Breads: Some restaurants do have gluten free bread options which opens up the possibility of toast topped with your favourite type of preserve. It may also be possible to have French toast made with gluten free bread. If French toast is on the menu, when the restaurant offers gluten free bread, enquire if this is a possibility.
• Pancakes: Some restaurants will also offer the possibility of pancakes made with alternative flours to wheat. It is worth asking what type of flour is used, as the classic pancakes ingredients aside from wheat flour are naturally gluten free.
Cold Breakfast Items:
• Fresh fruit: This is usually a fantastic breakfast item, especially if it is made with locally produced fruits. You could have a bowl of fresh fruit or enjoy a smoothie. Fruit is naturally gluten free, so you could create a fantastic breakfast combo of melon, strawberries, blueberries or whichever fruit appeals to your personal tastes.
• Yogurt: This makes a great breakfast with or without fresh fruit. You could have it with some nuts and seeds for a vitamin boost or enjoy it naturally flavoured.
• Muesli: Many great breakfast restaurants take a pride in serving their own muesli. This will usually be made with toasted oats or millet rather than wheat but if it is made in house, the server will be able to clarify exactly what ingredients are used. This can be a great gluten free solution which could be eaten with milk or paired with yogurt.
Cereals:
There may also be other cereals offered on the menu such as porridge. This may be suitable for you if you can tolerate oats and it will not affect your gluten allergy. It is worth clarifying the types of cereals offered, as many use rice or other grains which are gluten free.
If you are suffering from a gluten allergy, you should not avoid socialising at restaurants. When researching breakfast restaurants Perth residents have a number of choices, so try to find one which has flexibility in their menu to cater for you. If you can find a local restaurant with a great atmosphere and a menu which suits you, try to encourage your friends to choose it as your go-to venue to allow you to join in the fun.
