Breakfast in Bed for Mother's Day just got creative with a selection of quick and easy ideas that can be made by kids of all ages, with perhaps a little help from Dad for the younger ones. Say good morning to Egg in Toast, Bacon and Sausage Croissant Rolls and Bacon and Bagel 'Mum'.
Sunday 11th March 2018 is Mother's Day or Mothering Sunday. I hope you are remembering?! My two better had be!
Traditionally children and young people who were "in service" (i.e.household servants) were given a day off on the forth Sunday of lent so they could visit their families (or return to their "mother" church). The children would pick wild flowers along the way to place in the church or give to their mothers. Eventually, the religious tradition evolved into the secular Mother's Day gift giving as we know it.
In this post I'm sharing some fun quick and easy breakfasts that could be made by kids of all ages, with perhaps a little help from Dad for the younger ones. For additional options take a look at some other breakfast recipes of mine
- Bacon In Pancakes
- Cheese and Ham Breakfast Quesadilla
- Apple, Cinnamon and Maple Syrup Waffles
- Mango, Pineapple and Coconut Tropical Smoothie Bowl
- Nutella In Pancakes
- Potato Rosti and Quails Egg Nests
- Bucks Fizz Breakfast Muffins
Egg In Toast
1 free range egg
1 slice of bread
Preheat oven to 200c
Use a cookie cutter to make a hole in a slice of bread
Place both pieces of bread on a well greased/lined baking tray
Crack an egg into a a dish and carefully pour it into the hole in the bread
Make sure you get the yolk in first, you may not have room for all the white
Bake in the oven for approximately 10 mins until the egg is set and the toast crispy.
Bacon and Sausage Croissant Rolls
1 Tin of 6 Ready to Bake Chilled Croissant Dough
6 Scotch Beef Sausages
100g Grated Scottish Cheddar Cheese
6 Rashers of Streaky Bacon
Preheat the oven to 200c
Place Sausages on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes
Meanwhile open the tin of croissant dough and divide into its 6 sections.
Sprinkle each triangle with cheese and top with a rasher of streaky bacon
One the sausages are cooked place on on top of each and roll up
Bake for 15 minutes
Bacon and Bagel 'Mum'
1 bagel
6 rashers streaky bacon
Mum's the word with my final breakfast idea. Grill 6 rashers of streaky bacon and split and toast a bagel. Cut the bagel into a U shape and spread with butter. Lay out the bacon and bagel to spell MUM ♥
Are you dropping a massive hint to your own children here?! Lovely ideas...
ReplyDeleteThanks but they'll have to come up with something new to impress me I'm afraid!
DeleteI love those, especially the egg in toast ♡
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma! I hope someone makes you Egg In Toast.
DeleteThe egg in toast looks adorable - I would be tempted to eat it and I don't even like eggs!
ReplyDeleteThat's high praise indeed. You are however in good company, Nigel Slater doesn't like eggs.
Deleteso cute, so simple and yet so effective... saying I love you with an egg!... Thanks so much for the adorable entry into Simply Eggcellent x
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Dom. Eggs are just the most perfect and versatile food. A great new blogger linkup.
DeleteThey're so cute. I bet some Mum's got a lovely surprise this morning getting one of these (I had to make my own breakfast!)

I do hope that some did. I love hearing back from folk when they've tried something that they've seen on my blog.
DeleteWish I had received one of these on Mother's day! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe great thing is that are all perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch at any time of the year.
DeleteLovely ideas – think my daughter might be old enough next year to do a little Mother's Day cooking. Thanks for linking to #CookBlogShare
ReplyDeleteNow my two are that wee bit older its lovely to get a cooked Mother's Day Breakfast rather than a soggy bowl of cereal!
