Christmas Day Breakfast for 17 - ideas please :)
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | Will be buffet style and not sit down. Trying to come up with food that can be prepared in advance. Would love any ideas or thoughts please :) freckle - 2016-11-26 00:18:00 |
| 2 | I enjoy European style breakfasts, salami, ham, selection of sliced cheeses, fresh fruits, including pineapple, cereal, muesli, yoghurt, pastries, fruit juices & plenty of coffee & tea/herbal included plus some 'bubbles'. samanya - 2016-11-26 13:15:00 |
| 3 | if you are going to be able to cook sausages, bacon etc on the BBQ, keep the oven for.....12 hole greased muffin tin...spray and break in eggs. so easy. korbo - 2016-11-26 13:19:00 |
| 4 | Do the basics yourself (toast, fruit, yogurt, etc) and then get everyone to contribute one item - why should the host do all the hard work? It also depends on the age range and tastes of the guests. I did find a eclipse for baked French toast recently that I'm planning to use for our Christmas brunch. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/baked-french-toast/ Edited by sarahb5 at 1:32 pm, Sat 26 Nov sarahb5 - 2016-11-26 13:27:00 |

| 9 | How about banana pieces wrapped in bacon, then grilled. Drizzle with maple syrup... yum. wendalls - 2016-11-28 22:18:00 |
| 10 | I'm less into the heavy stuff these days but for a treat on a special day for breakfast and knowing what's coming up for the main lunch dinner scenario, I'm going for a very nice light King Prawns and Mango salad Dish and peck away to my heart's content. Cheers. valentino - 2016-11-29 13:15:00 |
| 11 | Thanks so much to you all :) Loving the ideas and starting to get excited about planning. I have a great family who will all contribute. freckle - 2016-12-05 22:54:00 |

| 13 | motorbro, I love this recipe and quite often double the recipe.... as others love it too. Here is the recipe... King Prawn and Mango Salad 1 mango For the Dressing: Cut Mango in half around the flat stone, discard the stone. Bring a pan of water to the boil. To make the dressing: put the flesh from the reserved mango half in a blender with all the other ingredients and blitz to a smooth, runny consistency. Pic of a serving but I have the bowl LOL..... valentino - 2016-12-06 19:58:00 |

| 15 | Croissants, warmed and piled in a basket , wedges of different cheeses, sherrydog - 2016-12-07 20:01:00 |
| 16 | Assemble croisants the night before with ham, pineapple, tomato and cheese. In the morning just heat in oven. susieq9 - 2016-12-08 10:38:00 |
| 17 | I'm having everyone around to my place for breakfast on Christmas morning but I'm keeping it very simple. Bacon and eggs on the BBQ and croissants with mozzarella and ham or smoked salmon . I only have one visitor who won't eat cured meat, so I will have to ask her what she would like. jellabie - 2016-12-08 15:33:00 |
| 18 | Croissants filled with ham and cheese! Just pop in the oven till cheese is melted and Croissants are golden . Really quick and easy and so tasty. dinkyz1 - 2016-12-08 17:32:00 |
| 19 | Strawberry Stuffed French Toasts 1 croissant per person Heat oven to keep croissants warm. It’s best for handling if the croissants are a day old but it doesn’t matter. Split the croissants and spread with some jam. Put a good tablespoon or more of chopped strawberries into the croissant with the jam. Quote bev00 - 2016-12-14 22:23:00 |
| 20 | I was barbecue where they did the eggs this way and I thought it was quite clever . It was on the griddle and they took a slice of wholemeal bread and with a glass cut out a circle in the middle then put the bread on the barbecue broke the egg into the middle of the circle . This kept the egg neatly contained and the toast toasting then they turned it over for the other side to be cooked and popped it on the plate. It was a good way to do them for lots of people dabo - 2016-12-18 07:11:00 |
| 21 | I was thinking smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels? Just slice the bagels ready for people to toast. Slice some tomato and avocado and put out the cream cheese and smoked salmon. Or if people want something simpler - just nice butter and a good jam? gaspodetwd - 2016-12-18 07:53:00 |

Can you buy locally grown prawns as they all seem to come from Thailand or similar? The recipe sounds fabulous! sally63 - 2017-12-17 12:58:00 |
| 25 | I've only made this once, I don't know why, it was very delicious and very easy. French bread, slice diagonally and spread with cream cheese. Mix up 3 eggs + 3/4 cup cream +1 cup milk. Pour over sliced bread and leave to soak. Sprinkle with frozen blueberries + cinnamon + sugar. Bake in a hot-ish oven until bread rises. fromwhereisit - 2017-12-17 16:53:00 |

| 27 | sally63 wrote: NZ is not a country that naturally has prawns. There is a farm in the electricity producing geothermal area of Taupo (Wairakei) but they are not prolific prawn producers. I also hear that the prawns produced are rather tasteless as well. Don't know how accurate that description is. However, they are not commercially available throughout NZ so it is moot. buzzy110 - 2017-12-17 17:46:00 |
| 28 | New World supermarkets sometimes have frozen Australian prawns and they are quite good if you choose them carefully (avoid grey and black heads). Make sure they are labelled product of Australia. I used to have a local NW that had a special free standing chiller to display them, but not all branches have that alas. davidt4 - 2017-12-17 18:09:00 |
| 29 | When i had 12 for breakfast, I discovered that I could bake bacon (never done that, rather than fry it)... duckmoon - 2017-12-17 20:04:00 |
| 30 | Liquid breakfast..Bloody Marys and Voddy smoothies..then who ever is left standing does brunch rexavier - 2017-12-17 20:28:00 |
| 31 | Try not to go too fancy with the cooking. Do thing ahead of time rather then on the day. Fruit platter or fruit salad go down well. Can do Muesli cups with yogurt the night before or if you want to be fancy and think people will eat it then chia breakfast cups. Muffins can also be made ahead of time and frozen then heated on the day. Use you bbq on the day to make bacon, eggs, sausages and anything else you want. Croissants with jam or scones with jam and cream. Chocolate croissants are nice too or danish pastries. Drinks I would the usual - Oj, hot drinks, champagne using fruit. marcs - 2017-12-18 17:13:00 |
| 32 | Keep it simple. You have a whole day of rich food to get through. Don't have anything you have to cook at the last minute....you have enough to do during the rest of the day. Use your crockpot and/or electric frypan on low heat to keep food warm at the table, and let everyone help themselves. punkinthefirst - 2017-12-20 16:59:00 |
| 33 | 1) curried eggs...... white sauce with curry, eggs cut into half or quartered , add chopped parsley,,you can add chopped bacon or sliced ham if budget allows 3) bacon &egg toasties with cheese sauce........ it is toast with bacon and egg on top with a toast lid,, cheese sauce goes over the top,, can be made up and served on a tray or have toast, eggs and bacon, sauce together on a buffet and let you quests serve themselves,, 6) bagels,,, toasted or plain,,,, buy some cream cheese and add jam or fruits to it, cream cheese and smoked salmon is nice,, you can buy smoked salmon off cuts and chop it up, add cream cheese and lemon juice, 7) , braised liver and bacon,,,, yum aktow - 2017-12-22 04:26:00 |

| 37 | This is a favourite of ours, prepared the night before and served with lots of bbq'd bacon the following day. The powdered sugar in the ingredients list is what we know as icing sugar :-) and the oven temperature of 350º F is equivalent to 180ºC. herself - 2018-12-22 17:46:00 |

| 43 | We have a breakfast every year with about that amount of people, we do the usual bacon, breakfast sausages, tomatoes al on bbq, make up whitebait fritters ( get bag this delivered through the year and pop in freezer ), I do a lovely creamy scrambled egg rather that poached ones...less fuss. We have mini crossants, bubbly, orange juice... there is also fruit / cereal for those that want lighter breakfast :-) caspm5 - 2019-12-17 21:30:00 |
| 44 | When I have a crowd, I bake bacon (in the oven) rather than fry. Scrambled eggs in a large electric frying pan. And a platter of fruit (strawberries, melons etc) duckmoon - 2019-12-18 22:21:00 |
