Breakfast and Brunch Recipes
Farata, egg dishes, bakes and the weekend brunch plates worth getting up for.
Breakfast in Mauritius is split between the quick weekday version — bread, cheese, a strong tea — and the weekend one, where farata, dholl puri and a proper egg dish take over the table. Both are covered here.
You will also find brunch dishes borrowed from further afield: baked eggs, pancakes, French toast and the fruit plates that make sense in a climate where mangoes and papaya are in the yard.

Make-ahead breakfasts for busy mornings
Farata dough can be made the night before and kept covered in the fridge. Batters for pancakes and baked goods hold overnight too. Prepare fruit and set out dry ingredients before bed and a weekday breakfast takes ten minutes rather than thirty.
