Christmas Breakfasts That You Really Should Try
Christmas is a time for indulgence, decadence and no regrets for all things food. And there is absolutely no reason why this should not be applied to breakfasts as well as everything else.
If you are also having to prepare the Christmas dinner; another huge meal may not be to your liking. And of course, that is fair enough; but this doesn't mean you can't indulge yourself a little.
Simple ideas for breakfasts, that are also sumptuous, include smoked Scottish salmon, scrambled eggs and, (if you want to be particularly extravagant) a grating of truffle. If however this is not really in your budget, a similar taste could be achieved by adding a little truffle oil to your eggs. Served with a lightly toasted bagel, it really is something special.
Another easily made breakfast is a bacon croissant. Place some bacon, (ideally smoked streaky), in your frying pan and fry until just cooked, (but not super crispy). Whilst frying, put your oven on and place two baking trays on the shelves. Meanwhile, slice and butter a croissant and spread a little tomato puree on one side.
Once your bacon is done; place this on the croissant and sprinkle with some grated cheese. Place this on one of the baking trays, and place the second on top; pressing down a little. Put this back in the oven for a few minutes, or alternatively on a sandwich toaster, and serve whilst still hot.
The best of all the breakfasts to have though, particularly at Christmas, is a traditional "Full English Breakfast". Broiled, (grilled) or fried is good; just have it your way.
Traditionally, an "English Breakfast" will comprise bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms and egg; though there really are no limits to what you can add.
These additions include, (but are no means limited to); fried bread, (bring a good portion of butter to a simmer and fry the bread on both sides until golden), fried onions or onion rings, blood (or black) pudding, sauteed potatoes and chopped tomatoes.
The basics of cooking such a meal are quite straight forward; however there are a few tips that you could try to make it one of the most memorable breakfasts ever had by your guests.
For the baked beans, try cooking them slowly with a few added ingredients. Bring them to just before boiling very quickly, and then turn your cooker right down. Add half a cup of milk and a quarter cup of butter per can of beans, along with a squeeze of garlic puree and a good grind of pepper. Simmer gently for fifteen to twenty minutes.
With the fried bread too, a nice little trick is to turn it into "eggy bread". Rather than slather on the butter, thoroughly coat each slice in beaten egg and fry until golden. For a real sense of season; add a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg.
Of course, if these breakfasts are a little too much; you could always have a nice bowl of oatmeal!? - 17274
