Best Easter breakfast recipes and ideas
Easter weekend is almost upon us and that means more time to enjoy pottering in the kitchen with family and friends - whether that includes making Easter biscuits or Easter cakes (including the essential cornflake cakes) alongside preparing the main feast of the day - the Easter lunch.
One of the things we look forward to as much as the main meal is a a quick and easy Easter breakfast option. There are plenty of easy Easter breakfast ideas and recipes, so it needn't be a daunting task.
Some of our favourite Easter breakfast ideas include a recipe for ultimate waffles - the batter takes not time to whip up (make sure you set time aside to let the batter rest) and if you have a waffle maker it couldn't be easier to have waffles to feed a crowd.
Pancakes are also fairly fuss free and if you're looking for something a little more seasonal to serve at the breakfast table then we recommend lemon and poppy seed pancakes which are light, zesty and fluffy - just serve with yoghurt and honey.
We also love French toast and we've given the usual French toast recipe an Easter twist - simnel cake French toast. It combines all the flavours of Simnel cake, all-spice, nutmeg and vanilla, with raisin bread . You can use your favourite fruit bread for this recipe – just make sure it’s not too thickly sliced, or the centre won’t soak up the delicious egg mixture.
If you want a speedy Easter breakfast then our recipe for Sunday brunch bake on takes 15mins prep time, using English muffins, streaky bacon and cocktail sausages. It's delicious.
