Christmas Breakfast

[lookout]

Was planning on making Overnight Cinnamon Rolls but made them for ds1's birthday today and he doesn't like them . So need to find something else that is yummy but doesn't mean I'm gonna be half an hour in the kitchen by myself on Christmas morning. Ideally it would be prep before and cook last minute sort of things. Any ideas?

Annoyed now. I love the idea of gingerbread or Christmas morning muffins. But no one really likes them apart from me, so I think I'll have to just have crumpets/ pastries/ fruit.

DH will have cereal and tea. That is what DH has for breakfast 365 days a year (unless we have run out of milk, in which case the cereal is grudgingly replaced with toast).

DS and I will probably have fresh fruit salad.

MiL will be throwing bacon rolls at us by 11AM anyway, so we won't need much breakfast!

Lookout which recipe have you used for the Overnight Cinnamon rolls? There are quite a few online...

Last year I did sweet waffles, the posh expensive Belgian ones, with Delia's winter fruit compote and Greek yoghurt. It was amazing and will be repeated this year. Obviously with Buck's Fizz and proper coffee!

Bacon butties and something fizzy, or perhaps alcoholic coffee

For minimal faff of being in the kitchen alone, you could follow my traditional plan: bung the bacon under the grill, leave, drink something fizzy, burn it, put replacement bacon under grill, return in half the time of the previous visit, eat.

Christmas breakfast is traditionally huge in my family - full meal of eggs benedict for 10....its a lot of cooking for the host who then bogs off to get dinner underway.

So I'm going to buck the trend this year....I'm planning on blueberry muffins (I'll do the batter night before), bagels and lox, fruit, yogurt with honey and nuts. There will be the staple cookies, chocolates and baking out all afternoon, then appetizers out for lunch/late afternoon then dinner. Its still loads of food.

I'm hoping my family will forgive me

We are having eggs benedict this year.

Stevie not sure, it's on my phone and I'm on the laptop just now. Will check in the morning and let you know

Thanks for all the other replies. We are decided on waffles and various toppings for the sweet of tooth and bagels, cream cheese and naice ham for....well, me

this one

Thanks Lookout!

No worries. If you do it though, you can cut the sugar (and thus also the cinnamon) in the cinnamon filling by about half. It was way way too sweet!

Berocca and a strong espresso. Followed by a bacon sandwich and a glass of champagne. Got to re-hydrate... Chin chin!

toasted pannetone and bucks fizz for the adults
lucky charms and orange and cranberry juice for the little ones

Sex and Champagne.

Ah, how times have changed. Damn

We have pancakes every weekend (so not for Christmas)

This year, I'm going to buy Waitrose croissants
Some of the frozen ones to stash away

Nice bread to toast

And the Nigella Spruced Up Vanilla cake but done in a bundt tin because I'm far to mercanary to buy a tree tin I couldn't find a fancy tin.

Lots of nice jams, lemon curd, coffee , orange juice.

Nigella Christmas muffins, oj, coffee or tea, egg and bacon / scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for whoever wants it. We don't eat Christmas lunch until about 4.30pm

Lovely bread toasted and topped with poached Burford Browns eggs. Then a walk up a local hill with friends, children and dogs while the bird cooks .

Iheart, never heard of Rudolph pancakes before but they look fantastic. Just bought chocolate brioche and chocolate waffles for Christmas day, but I'll remember Rudolph for next year.

We have waffles (either bought or pre made) then heated up etc; easily and quickly, slathered in syrup or chocolate or whatever.
