Christmas breakfast

[Hungryfrogs23]

Starting to plan/write a list of the big food shop so I can spread the cost.
Always thought what my parents did for us growing up was what everyone did until a colleague said they have a full english xmas morning! (HOW?!)

Anyway, it got me thinking. Apart from the obligatory bucks fizz, what do you all eat for breakfast on Xmas day?
Will be 4 adults, 2 children (7years and 7 months) if that makes a difference!

Gingerbread man shaped pancakes, fresh OJ, fancy coffee.

Light lunch, dinner at 7.

Bagels with smoked salmon/cream cheese.

For any young Gdcs, probably Nutella pancakes. Fresh orange juice.

if I’ve bothered to make any, Delia’s Christmas dried fruit compote* for anyone who still wants their muesli (probably dh) with fruit.
*not that it’s a major faff at all.

We don’t have Buck’s Fizz until after the (usually late) breakfast.

Scrambled egg, smoked salmon and spinach on bagels, wee prosecco and cranberry juice.

Usually everything bagels with scrambled eggs and avocado although sometimes it's just chocolate and/or Pret a Manger chocolate croissants (the frozen ones, just stick them in the oven). We usually have bacon or sausage sandwiches for breakfast on Boxing Day.

Bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon and fizzy wine

@Vetoncall where are you getting your everything bagels? What company makes them?

I have had chicken dippers and chips every Xmas morning since I was about 14 😅 it's my own little tradition. Appreciate this is prob not the inspiration you were looking for 😃

Crumpets soaked overnight in eggs - might put some strong grated cheddar in the mix.
Really nice bacon and some shrooms.
Bucks Fizz.
Lunch about 4

Probably pastries as being treated to lunch out 🙂👍

Of all the breakfasts listed here, including my own, this is the one that appeals to me the most! 😂

Oooh, this sounds good. Where do you get the GF croissants?? Ones from the supermarket are a bit bleugh.

Growing up always a fry up, my DF was the fry up king.

Now it’s toast, crepes (pre-made) or what ever any one wants while opening, playing with presents. We then have brunch which is now pancakes with bacon, sausage, berries…basically what ever anyone wants. This is the kids choice. We don’t eat until evening so the brunch keeps us going.

@Blueeyes13 it's called ManaDew Bakery in London and you can order online for things that are bake at home.

Thank you! Those look amazing!

Just to say I feel exactly the same about Bucks Fizz. Just why????

We don't have a proper breakfast-but a steady stream of bits-pain au chocolate/croisssants etc and coffees then we move on to sausages wrapped in bacon/smoked salmon blinis/pancetta wrapped asparagus/prawns etc
And champagne but try not to peak too early...

My kids love my home made cinnamon rolls so I'll probably do a few versions of them. Maybe a cinnamon, a Nutella and strawberry or peppermint sauce and a maple bacon. Some fresh fruit salad. Clementine juice and champagne. Croissants. I think I've got 9 for breakfast this year so a nice variety.

We always had a full English in Xmas day and Boxing Day morning growing up

@itsgoingtobeabumpyride Any chance you could tell me more about eh kidneys and mushrooms thing? It must have been in a very low oven; would they have been covered? Were any flavorings added?

I'm working my way through fresh orange juices to find my favourites

I want Clenentine that is sharp but sweet
Orange that tastes like freshly squeeezed from the orange .

So far , the Sainsbury orange Taste the Difference smooth is wiinning
Clementines juices all pretty samey .

When we were kids it was pigs kidney's and mushrooms, cooked in the oven overnight then crispy bacon was added to the plate with soft white bread to mop up the juice.

This was the standard Sunday fry up at home in the late 70’s, early 80’s and I still shudder now at the thought of those pigs kidneys 😆

Eggs benedict with smoked salmon and home made hollandaise sauce, with bucks fizz. (Two adults, one 20 year old, so technically an adult I guess(!) and an 18 year old, but had been the breakfast menu since they were three, and would be a small riot if we tried to change it!
