alternative christmas day breakfast

[quimcunx]

Fry up I think

Ooh, yes, fry up with pancakes (scotch ones) and maple syrup.

special.

IMHO it's all in the way you serve it - crap pork pie still in the wrapper - wrong.

Good pork pie, cut into wedges (or slices), with a few salady bits (cherry tomatoes, apple slices, etc) and maybe a bit of mayonnaise or salad cream, with fancy serviettes (or your best kitchen roll) - right.

Brush peppers, aubergines, red onions, cherry tomatoes in Olive Oil and roast under grill. When done place on lightly toasted bread (Cibatta's good). Put poached egg on top of that and put a lump of pesto to top everything off.

Or maybe get some portobello mushrooms. Brush with a mix of lemon juice and melted butter. Cook face down for 10 minutes in oven, then turn over and put lumps of blue cheese on top and cook until done.

Maybe Brie on toast (some kind of posh buttery bread) topped with warmed grapes. For the grapes cut into halves or quarters, add bit of grape juice and salt and pepper, reduce so syrupy sauce. (think I missed an ingredient out of this sauce)

For extra tasty Scrambled Eggs do in a Bain Marie. stir as little as possible. add butter half way though cooking. dash of cream and chives at end.

I like breakfast!

chocolate money (yours, immediately followed by everyone else's when they're not looking)

 

[ohmyliver]

[fen_boy]

Have muffins instead of bagels.

 

[EastEnder]

Marmite on toast.

Like every morning.

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

[bluestreak]

a fresh fruit and champagne smoothie, plus croissants

1.2 mill of GBL in a champagne flute

Every year I have Champagne and Pork Pies

Just toss it all out with loads of condiments like mustard, pickle, pickled onions, gherkins. Some nice bread, maybe some nice meats too.

this, i like

A stack of hot pancakes with blueberries, maple syrup and cream. Sliced bananas if you like them. Really good expensive bread, toasted and thickly buttered, with creamy scrambled eggs and chives. Chapagne.

 

[mrsfran]

Personally, I'd go for a really good BLT. Thick bacon from Borough, proper tomatoes, crisp lettuce, Hellman's mayonnaise, doorstep wedges of white bread. With a big mug of tea. Cracking.

Want me to post some Bacon from Borough Market?

Nigella has a lovely chocolate pastry recipe in Feast which I did for xmas breakfast a couple of years ago. They're richer and more substantial that croissants and you can prepare them the night before.

It's a bone of contention in this house

We only have streaky bacon left (which I hate) and we can't afford to kill the pig so we just do without bacon

 

[Kanda]

I'll post some

 

[madzone]

The Good Life ain't all it's cracked up to be

[dodgepot]

i think i might actually stick with the smoked salmon/eggs/bagels combo, tbf. nothing really leaps out at me and makes me salivate.

I've tried to lie to myself that I like salmon, i just don't.

 

[dodgepot]

normal pancakes as opposed to scotch pancakes?
