Pie for Breakfast Blueberry Lavender Parfaits

Pie for breakfast is a holiday week tradition we fully support. Layer crumbled Blueberry Lavender Small Pie, or any leftover pie, with vanilla yogurt and granola, and it's practically a balanced meal. No pie in the house? A 10-minute blueberry compote and crushed cookies do the job.

Why this pairing works

Tangy yogurt keeps the pie from tasting too sweet, and flaky crust pieces act like granola clusters. Blueberries and lavender are a classic farm pairing.

How do you make it without pie?

• Quick blueberry compote: simmer 2 cups blueberries (frozen is fine), 2 Tbsp Lavender Maple Syrup, 1 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of crushed culinary lavender buds for 5 to 7 minutes, until jammy. Cool.
• The crust: crush 1 cup graham crackers or shortbread cookies.
• Layer yogurt, compote and crumbs in place of the pie.

Which pies work best?

Fruit pies are best: blueberry, cherry, apple or peach. Pumpkin pie works too; layer it with plain yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup and toasted pecans. Skip cream pies, which turn soupy.

How long do parfaits keep?

Assembled parfaits without granola keep 1 day covered in the fridge. Leftover fruit pie keeps 2 days at room temperature or 4 days in the fridge.

Make it your own

• Use Apple, Cherry or Peach Small Pies.
• Serve with a glass of Lavender Sunrise (Orange) drink for a sunny breakfast.
• Swap the yogurt for whipped cream and call it dessert.
