Christmas Day Breakfast!

Christmas is fast approaching (ok, we know it is still the beginning of December but we're excited), and there is no better way to start Christmas Day than with a special breakfast with all the family.

We've been thinking about the different kinds of breakfast we would like to have on Christmas Day, and the only conclusion we came to was that it has to be something different and absolutely delicious! 

Salmon and scrabbled eggs is a favourite for Christmas Day, and is very simple to make with the added ingredient of the salmon to make it extra special!

We made some delicious egg breakfast muffins earlier in the year which are so simple to make. All you need is some eggs, chopped garlic, skimmed milk and parmesan cheese. Plus any other ingredients you would like to put in them, such as mushrooms, spinach, ham, peppers, sweetcorn, bacon, brocoli or peas. 

Method: 

1. Simply preheat your oven to 200c/400F or gas mark 6 and chop all your chosen veg or meat in pieces

2. Fry all your vegetables (and bacon if that is what you have chosen) and add the garlic 

3. Once everything has softened, remove from the heat and set aside

4. Whisk together the eggs, milk and half the parmesan and then add your vegetables

5. Grease a muffin tray with butter and divide your mixture between the tray

6. Sprinkle with your remaining parmesan and bake for 15 minutes until the muffins are puffed and golden!

You could also make these up on Christmas Eve ready to heat up on Christmas morning for all the family!
