Christmas breakfasts

Now that everyone thinks of Christmas dinners and lunches I only think of Christmas breakfasts.

Last year for the first time I celebrated my birthday with breakfast and I do not think I will celebrate it in any other way, it is original, it is endearing, it is whimsical and it is delicious.

Later, in summer, I attended the best birthday breakfast that has ever happened, that of my niece, prepared by her brothers, all minors, so shame on the adults who don't dare. The photo says it all, I know it is difficult to overcome but you have to have challenging goals or we will remain mediocre.

That is why we suggest you differentiate yourself this Christmas with perfect breakfasts that your guests will not easily forget. It may be that you find yourself in a situation like "come back home come back for Christmas" that is to say, reunion with family or friends sleeping in the same house, or that you find yourself living with the same people like the rest of the year, or that you live alone and you give a tribute with music and morning reading or directly and the most stylish-glamorous-avant-garde: organize a Christmas breakfast with whoever you want.

The most important thing is the staging

The most important thing is the company and the good vibes but the staging is fundamental. You can eat anything but in a perfect setting. Choose a table or trays, tablecloths or fabrics, plates, cups, napkins, flowers, photos, lighting, temperature, music. Within your possibilities and what you have at your fingertips, create an appetizing scenario.

What you are looking for is the experience, usually, the sounds, the smells, the touch are remembered so you know, no plastic dishes, no smell of boiled cauliflower or the TV in the background with ads. I love kitchens but it is not always possible, the dining room, the study, the bedroom, a terrace, the park in your neighborhood. Anything goes.

Tea or coffee? Milk?

For my coffee but better have both things planned. Milk is milk buy fresh milk for your Christmas breakfast, and do not serve it in the tetra brick, serve it in a glass bottle or a jug and you will have conquered the staff.

This is true for almost everything, commercial packaging is prohibited at a party breakfast. Serve juices, jams, butter, cold cuts, patés, or whatever you are going to offer in plates, jugs, or pieces of tableware made of cardboard or wood, never in their packaging or you will lose points.

What to serve?

Conveniently, there is fruit, it can be in juice, smoothie, or chopped. There must also be jams, at least two types.

Toasts are a classic, is also good that there are two options, for example, bread classic and bread bar, maybe some comprehensive.

Something salty is convenient to offer, for example, soft-boiled or scrambled eggs or sliced cold cuts presented gracefully on a tray.

Within the dairy section for me, the undisputed protagonist is homemade yogurt, lately, we have had it with agave syrup and it is an exquisite combination.

My experience says that it is the homemade pancakes, crepes, and waffles that win. Within the pancakes chapter, I propose the banana or the classic ones.

The crepes with jam or Nutella are memorable but no one is ever the same again after some crepes a la cassonade.

From our waffle catalog, I strongly suggest the unbeatable Brussels waffles, the soft lemon waffles for sweet people, or my new addiction: the spiced with whole wheat flour.

Another classic is the cakes and muffins, we have a lot after years of blogging, to start you can try the orange muffins or the heavenly ones with chocolate chips and among the cakes the mandarin or banana cakes that I have not done for a long time.

Naturally, you do not have to prepare everything, fruit, toast, and dairy are fixed, then choose one or two sweet options, or one sweet and one savory depending on the number and preferences of the guests

The waffles have in their favor, in addition to supplying a gastronomic moment when they are well made, that you can have them frozen and warm them in the toaster or the oven. The crepes can be made in advance and only heat up for a minute in the crepe maker. You have to make pancakes at the last minute but it is also cool if you can prepare them in front of those attending your super breakfast. The pastries are undoubtedly the most comfortable and have armies of fans.

In the industrial version, you have everything, prepared for pancakes, waffles, muffins, cakes, bread, jams…. Do it yourself or buy it made but do not let Christmas pass without living the experience

At the moment nothing more ... and nothing less! as Pablo Pineda said. Start organizing breakfasts that your path to the title of perfect host begins here.

Merry Christmas and happy breakfasts! Likely, we will not read until next year, we are going on a gastronomic vacation.
