Christmas Day breakfast

[MsMiaWallace]

What do you guys have for breakfast on Christmas Day?

We're going out for dinner so I'm planning a nice breakfast. We always have Bucks Fizz!

Eggs Benedict.

We have croissants and smoked salmon. And champagne for those that fancy it, coffee for those who don't :)

Nothing much as were in a rush to get everyone out to church. A few gold coins and a banana or slice of toast.

Buck's Fizz and croissants, frozen ones you bake. We like to save room for the feast!

See I don't eat breakfast but I do cook xmas dinner for 12 every year, however I do have kids so from when they were 1ish I have always put an individually wrapped croissant or cereal bar, juice box, chocolate coins, piece of fruit and a small slice of malt loaf in a personalised tin, inside their stockings to eat while opening the presents upstairs before the fun begins down stairs.

I have thought about breakfast for when they are older and smoked salmon, bucks fizz plus patisserie's will defo make an appearance.

Buck's Fizz and chocolate fingers

Pancakes, croissants and bacon buttie here.

Orange juice and toasted panettone (the chocolate chip one from Morrisons is our favourite) with strawberries. If there is any champagne left from Christmas Eve I may have a glass and a cup of earl grey tea.

Late-ish, because we don't have Christmas dinner till around 5 - bagels with smoked salmon, cream cheese and Buck's Fizz. Nice and easy.
That's the adults. GDcs might have pancakes or whatever earlier.

I normally do smoked salmon, scrambled eggs etc. Last year I did a plate of pastries (croissants, pain au chocolate etc) for everyone to help themselves to and served with hot chocolate -was way better than normal, so much more relaxed! I shall be doing the same again this year (was served early whilst presents were being opened) and this year I will follow with bacon butties as we are having Christmas dinner elsewhere and won't be eating until late.

Last year we had French toast made with thick slices of brioche, and lots of cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg in the eggs. And bacon cooked in the oven with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Served with juice freshly squeezed from the oranges Santa leaves in the stockings.

Variety cereal pack is bloody genius!! I remember how excited I was as a child with those! We have smoked salmon and caviar blinis. Very special and delicious, but not too filling for the ridiculous over consumption later!

Toast and tea.

My family like Christmas dinner quite early so we can't have a massive breakfast.

We have croissants filled with bacon. And bucks fizz!

Another one with festive shaped pancakes here! And Bucks Fizz obviously :) We eat at lunchtime so dont like to have a heavy breakfast.

Last year we had Waitrose cook from frozen pastries with coffee and orange juice. It worked well as we had in-laws over who like an early lunch. I'll repeat the breakfast but bring all finished with lunch by 2 was strange for me and meant I had to provide "tea" rather than point people in the direction of the fridge for leftovers with part bake baguettes so that's not be repeated.

Dc have a treat cereal like lucky charms or frosties too.

mouseratfan did you make the muffins yourself? They sound delicious

We do bacon sandwiches for the adults and pain au chocolat for the DC. With drink of choice, so some have tea / coffe and some I have fizz.

I did Nigella's muffins last year, which were gorgeous. I'll definitely be making more of those for general Christmas snack purposes.

Smoked salmon and scrambled egg

Home made eggnog.

Pork pie, bread and marmalade washed down with champagne.

Nigellas Christmas morning muffins (make the batter the night before so it's literally just putting it into muffin trays and in the oven) and Buck's Fizz/coffee depending how much sleep I've had!

Must look in to these Nigella breakfast muffins...

It varies every year, depending on if we have guests for breakfasts, or if i’m cooking Christmas dinner or if we are eating out. In general it’s lots of chocolate, a hazelnut coffee, pain au chocolat, French toast, crispy bacon, lots of bucks fizz.

Last few years I’ve done a tray of cinnamon buns, croissants, pain au chocolat, and some Christmas tree crumpets so everyone can pick at those all morning. That (and the chocolate!) keeps us going until we have Christmas dinner at about 4.30ish. Means I’m not messing about in the kitchen while the kids are opening presents. Will be adding muffins to the table this year though mouseratfan those muffins sound lush!
