Portable "posh" breakfast ideas?

16 replies

Daffodilly · 14/01/2010 20:47

Have been invited to friends place in the country for a weekend away. I asked if there was anything I could bring along to help with catering(hoping they'd say no obviously ) and they suggested I do the Sunday breakfast.

4 adults and handful of little ones. Any ideas? Needs to be something I can transport there or/and assemble in the morning with minimum hassle!

Brioche, eggs (erm...relatively portable in a box), milk, maple syrup for making French toast.

Bagels (ideally proper ones from a bakery), smoked salmon, creamcheese.

Meusli/something like Jordan's country crisp, mixed berries (frozen at this time of year), yoghurt, honey.

Good coffee.

I need to go shopping for glam breakfast ingredients now...

bircher muesli
homemade granola
fruit (exotic fruit is good at this time of year)
greek yoghurt and honey

Would you be able to cook at all or are you just looking for options you can make ahead?

Yummy patisserie or bread

Good coffee

Oranges and a squeezer to make it fresh

are you sure they expect you to bring food items along - i would have thought that you would be expected to cook from whatever they already have in the fridge?

mini pastries.

no. stuck there. delicious cinammon whirls, pain au chocolat, warm croissants with butter......

Daffodilly · 14/01/2010 21:12

Oh some great ideas thanks. Like the ideas of bagels, cream cheese & salmon - bit special, with no cooking!

Tispity - pretty sure I need to take food, no idea what they'd have in.

Grilled Bacon, Toasted Muffins, scrambled eggs, easy to do for lots of people and more likely for the kids to eat.
bulk it out with cereals, pastries and fruits.

Posh breakfast in the country? Should be kedgeree shouldn't it?

LowLevelWhingeing · 14/01/2010 21:49

Me, personally, I'd go for bacon butty every time - really nice duchy original air-dried blah blah type bacon.

I know plenty of folk who love the whole smoked salmon and cream cheese thing though. Or Danish pastries of the jammy variety? Or nice bread and nice butter and nice jam?

The menu could get big here...

Actually, did you see that nauseating Jamie Oliver Christmas programme? He did little American style pancake with fresh fruit/yoghurt/honey etc. Looked v easy - 1 bowl of batter then make in batches as folk appear, but would look like loads of effort. Extra brownie points for providing fruit for kids.

Jamie Oliver breakfast pancakes

I'd just go with really good bacon, really good bread.

Have your really good bacon on top of homemade sweetcorn and ricotta pancakes. You will need flour, eggs, a tin of sweetcorn, a tub of ricotta and some milk. I can give you a proper recipe if you want?

The pancakes are also delicious with blueberries and maple syrup if you prefer (and I'd still have the bacon with that).

scrambled egg & smoked salmon?

Daffodilly · 15/01/2010 10:03

Wow now I am spoilt for choice - is anyone else getting hungry reading this! My boring bowl of cereal and fruit this morning just didn't cut it...
