As we traveled in the UK last fall, we mostly stayed at bed and breakfasts, with all of them serving a full English breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, baked tomatoes, beans, and toast. After a few days of the full English breakfast, I was in need of a smaller breakfast nearer to "my normal breakfast." Most b and b's also had muesli with yogurt or milk available. Certainly there were slightly different versions of muesli, but most were homemade and delicious.
I've tried different recipes and this is my favorite muesli recipe, which can be tweaked to suit my latest craving, by adding different/more seeds, nuts, or dried fruits.
