Most years for christmas we have pancakes cooked on the bbq with bananas wrapped in bacon (amazing!), bacon and bananas on there own, hashbrowns, croissants, lots of fruit, pineapple cooked on the bbq, champagne and sparkling grape juice. So amazing. we normally have our big turkey dinner on christmas eve which means we don't have to stress about it on christmas day.

Yummy and easier than normal eggs benedict. Toasted bagels, smoked salmon (ham for anyone that doesn't like), scrambled eggs, hollandaise sauce...

Usually have croissants, but I am yet to find gluten free ones! So atm plan is eggs, bacon, maybe hashbrowns, maybe packet hollandaise (I know I know but I can't be bothered making it lol) and bubbles.

I make dozens of these creations each day. *twitches*Easiest way for a basic hollindaise - 500gms butter melted in a jug in the microwave until it's simmering. this takes around 3+ mins in ours.While that's coming up to tempreture. into another jug or bowl add four egg yolks, the juice of a lemon or two, and S&P for seasoning.When the butter is super hot, use a stick blender and slowly add the butter to the yolk mix. start out with about a teaspoon full at a time, then can increase that to a couple tablespoons at a time once it's elmulsifying nicely.Takes around 3-5 mins to make and is beautifully thick and creamy everytime.
I also add to mine a touch of wholegrain mustard and a pinch of cayene, although neither are needed.
Grill some bacon (or use smoked salmon), halve and toast the bagels, soft poach your eggs. and liberally pour over the hollindaise! :-P

Last year we had a brunch and the stand-out success was french toast, made with fruit bread from the supermarket, a little cinnamon added to the egg, served with cream and caramelised pears - I've written about making these here: http://www.mrscake.co.nz/2010/06/quick-desserts-caramelised-pears.html but they are very easy, tin of pears, some brown sugar and butter and simmered while you make the french toast. I am definitely a sugar-for-breakfast kind of gal. ;-)

Waffles here too, but made weeks previously (in my waffle iron that used to be my Nana's) and frozen. I just take them out of the freezer and toast them in the toaster. Served with a fresh fruit salad and maple syrup and, for those who are not worrying about their waistline, a bit of lightly whipped cream. Freshly squeezed orange juice and good coffee fill the gaps - and we're all set til lunch.

Potato cases (grated potato, egg, herbs - cooked in muffin trays to make cases) filled with bacon and scrambled eggs, and roast tomatoes on the side. OR Pancakes with fresh berries, ice cream and chocolate.

I'm providing people with 2 options, or both if they want. The cold option will be waffles (they cook their own) with fresh fruit, yoghurt, maple syrup etc. Thenthe blokes will be on the bbq cooking prawns, chorizo sausages, bacon, cutlets and I'll have vast quantities of scrambled eggs, hash browns and will bake some stuffed mushrooms and tomatoes. That's it!

Masses of big fat hot pancakes with a choice of fillings. Banana with bacon and maple syrup or strawberries fried in a little butter with a dusting of icing sugar and lashings of whipped cream, stewed spiced apple, or creamy scrabled eggs and bacon etc.
