10. Egg and veggie tray bake
Now I know that this dish is usually made for dinner but if you are someone who isn’t afraid to break the rules why not make it a breakfast dish? This is a one-dish vegetarian breakfast option that is easy to make. It combines all the healthy nutrients you need in a breakfast dish such as protein, healthy fats and vegetables that makes sure fuel you up for the day. Simply roast all your favourite vegetables in a baking tray with how many eggs you’d like and bake until the eggs are cooked depending on how you like your eggs served.
What I love about this dish is that
- It’s a one-dish breakfast option, so it doesn’t require a lot of cleaning up if you are a person who hates to wash dishes
- It’s a very healthy breakfast option
- It’s cheap
- It creates a beautiful presentation that you can wow your family and guests for Christmas
- This dish is also great if you have some leftover veggies you have and want to use up.

Sandwiches are one of my favourite things to eat and I’m pretty sure most people (because I’ve never met anyone who hates sandwiches) so the fact that there is an option to have them for breakfast is the best! Breakfast sandwiches are flavourful, succulent, and easy to customize. Filled with veggies, eggs and cheese. It is hearty, filling, and delicious. You have to try it out!

Try this hard-boiled egg salad tossed with mayonnaise and mustard together with caramelized onions which add a beautiful flavour. It can be served with bread as a sandwich or over greens.

Breakfast casserole also makes a great table centrepiece. They are just colourful (if done right lol) and something that will wow your family this Christmas.
