Boring donuts need not apply

I wanted something fast with punches of flavor for a spur-of-the-moment breakfast this morning. Toasted mini-bagels with a trio of homemade cream-cheese spreads — smoked salmon, fresh herb and honey with toasted walnuts — fit the bill.

Loaded with fiber, my Bottom-of-the-Cereal Box Muffins, made with dried apricots, rounded out the menu.

You can find the recipe in this week's Table Scraps newspaper column.

How's that for an early morning tryst?
