Christmas brunch nibbles instead of roast

28 replies

For various reasons, we won't be cooking a traditional Christmas roast this year. (We will have one with other family at new year!)

4 adults, 2 primary aged children.

Instead we had the bright idea of having a big Christmas brunch/nibbles table. Can anyone help me with suggestions for food?

So far we have:

Cheese board
Pizza pinwheels (made by the children)
Pigs in blankets
Eggs
Pancakes
Yoghurt
Fruit
Croissants

If you can ignore the dish name (and the cornflakes), which we don't do, this is our go to Xmas brunch. It's fantastic. Best with Bavarian smoked ham and Gruyere cheese in my opinion, but it's basically a savory bread pudding and absolutely delicious. We've served it up so many times and our guests have all loved it.

If you want it more Christmassy then you can cheat a lot of it tbh.

Stuffing balls are easy.
Aunt Bessys roasties and Yorkshires are super easy and taste fine.
Do you have a slow cooker? If so I'd get meat to whack in there.
Iceland is a good shout for party food - mini spring rolls, samosas etc.

Personally I'd have a normal breakfast and go mostly savoury on the nibbles table.

Cooked meats, bread (a couple of different types), pickles, a salad.

At least a nod to Xmas so mince pies and a bit of cake.

If you have a slow cooker put some potatoes in for baked potatoes and have cheese and tuna or whatever as fillings.

Some good ideas on this thread
