Christmas breakfast

[Whitecandle]

Hit me with all your Christmas breakfast traditions....

We've been having eggs benedict for the last few years. Me with bacon and DP with salmon.

Might try something different this year

With my parents it's a fry up around 11am that mum and I prepare. At In Laws we have bacon/sausage sandwiches. At home dp and I have crumpets or toast.

Always with lots of tea/coffee and orange juice.

Growing up it was always croissants and smoked salmon and we’ve kept the tradition going :) Either with coffee or champagne, or both!

I found the idea for it on mumsnet originally, can't remember who posted it. It's not healthy but it's basically the same as a (large) chocolate croissant

I made Nigella's Christmas muffins for the first time last year - I'll definitely be making them again this year!

I made them fully on Christmas eve, and then warmed them Christmas morning.

Quite outing if anyone who knows me is on here but I once spent 3 hours making homemade baked beans to impress my ILs - they tasted just like tinned!!! Never bothered again 🙄

@Candlesonthetable wow deffo making this!!!!

We have tea and M&S chocolate biscuits, first thing while opening stockings, then my mum goes out to sort the horses (I have a day off), while I cook a full English late breakfast/brunch, which we have with bucks fizz. We eat at 5ish, so it works well

We make Christmas shaped pancakes. So good! With fruit or syrup. Our first family tradition, will be the 4th year this year!

When I was a kid it was chocolate now I like a bagel with cream cheese and salmon

We have toasted muffins with ppached eggs hollandaise and parma ham a la Gordon Ramsay. There would be a mutiny if anything else was suggested.

Croissants and champagne, although Buddhist DD has orange juice. We then nibble chocolate pennies etc from stockings until a big salad buffet lunch, and have our turkey with all the trimmings at night.
It means minimal cooking, and we can go out all afternoon for a bracing walk round the loch or to the windswept beach while the turkey is in the oven.

We either have croissants/pan au chocolate or panettone with a pot of tea/coffee and a bucks fizz or two. I love a nice easy breakfast on Christmas morning.

Normally we'd get some nice bacon and white crusty bread and butter to have bacon butties. But last year I was pregnant and could only eat little bits and wanted to really enjoy my dinner. So for a change we got good coffee and warmed frozen cinnamon buns and pain au chocolat and had a fruit platter. DD (6) was VERY happy with it and DH has even suggested doing the same again this year.

A baked French toast dish that can be prepped the night before. Nigella cinnamon muffins - can get ingredients out night before a quickly mix in the morning. Served with fruit, maypole syrup etc. and Buck's Fizz!

Croissants with jam, pain au chocolat, juice and coffee. Then we move onto champagne whilst we cook lunch.

@WhatWouldTheDoctorDo could you share the French toast recipe?😊

Pork pie and pickle. Every year.

@Whitecandle here you go!! Really easy to prepare and leave in the fridge.

Panattoni here, had it as long as I can remember and I buy a chocolate one for the DCs to carry on the tradition

Bucks fizz and cups of tea! Lol

Toasted bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese.
Always popular and virtually zero prep.

Normally do a bit of a spread; eggs benedict, bacon sarnies, overnight oats, toast, fresh pot of coffee, yoghurts, seeds and fresh fruit salad. There’s loads of us so everyone has a little nibble of everything.

The majority of a selection box....Bottle of Prosecco

We all had cooked breakfast last year. It was nice but I was so full after I actually dreaded Christmas lunch 🤦‍♀️
I quite like the idea of Christmas casseroles. You prepare the day before and cook on Xmas morning.

A nibble of chocolate and a Buck's Fizz ! We always have a 3 course Xmas Dinner at 1pm so would be too full to include a proper breakfast as well. Kids have cereals , fruit & juice etc as usual.
I like to starve myself and be extremely gluttonous at the main event teehee 😜
