It is known that a lot of studies show that eating breakfast improves concentration, memory, problem-solving and your mood (for those who struggle to wake up!) So, that might solve your morning blues, some toasted bread with melted Gruyère to see you through to lunch.

Here are some quick and easy ways to incorporate cheese into your breakfast:

Toast And Bagels

Then, once the omelet is close to being set, crumble some Feta cheese and then cook until it is set.
