I have unwittingly/naively volunteered to put on a buffet breakfast on Christmas morning and am now in a panic as to what to do. Bacon is a given but want to do a bit more than that. Have been thinking along the lines of croissants as well but that's as far as my limited imagination has got.
Wwstwd? Otherwise it's coco pops all round.
Cheers
Booze. Food is optional.
Well made eggs scrambled or poached, top draw bread for toast, really good thick bacon and maybe some quality sausages.
raw smoked salmon on toast touch of lemon juice and some fresh dill and a bottle of champagne
Eggs benedict and bucks fizz works for us.
American style pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, or with blueberries for the health freaks

Strawberries, fizz and croissants, keep it light. Maybe eggs and smoked salmon too.

Keep it traditional.
Open you're selection box that granny gave you.
No help for a buffet but we're doing boiled duck eggs with sourdough and asparagus wrapped in ham.
🙂 @ Drac - that's what it should be
otherwise haggis and poached eggs (poached any old way you like)
Does always depend on when your having your big meal too.
How about going for broke and smashing some avacado

Keep it light +1
Pancakes, loads of berries, posh yoghurt, maple syrup etc.
if i had only one bullet and had to choose between you're and smashing some avocado..
Scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toast are the traditional Christmas breakfast in our house.
Bacon and egg Bloody Mary FTW!

I’d have used it immediately on reading “top draw”
Buffet breakfast surely means “continental” in the style of all average hotels.
So: non-Kelloggs cereals, gloopy orange juice, dubious ham, Ski yoghurts and Swiss cheese. And maybe some stale pains au chocolat and a queue for the toaster.
If your guests want anything cooked, charge them extra.
Go out and get absolutely leathered on Christmas Eve, then when you get from the pub, get on your phone and go absolutely mental on Just Eat. Order loads!! Pizzas, Kebabs, cheesy chips, fried chicken, burgers, the lot!
Pick away at some of it then simply arrange it all on the dining room table then go to bed
Voila.... you awake to the breakfast of champions!
Don’t forget to put that crate of Stella in the fridge
... you’re welcome 😃

Here too. With bucks fizz whilst preparing and devouring. Then start work with the sharp knives preparing dinner.
Last Christmas' liqueur chocs (and bacon, obvz)
Baileys and Coco Pops.
You're welcome.
Our Christmas breakfast has traditionally consisted of chocolates and satsumas until dinner is ready. A bit sickening, I know, but it's tradition!

You'd shoot yourself in the face because the world is too much for you?
Pancakes are on the list. Booze was sorted well in advance bucks fizz and glayvar. Scrambled eggs sound good. Sausage may encroach on dinner, going for pastries approach.
Joking aside, make as little as possible, i.e. limit it to cooking bacon, making pancakes and scrambling eggs. There’s plenty of other cooking happening all day and you don’t want to spend all Christmas morning with your pinny on.

I'd be torn between those who don't know how and when to use capital letters, and those who use superfluous punctuation to end a sentence.
I'm still hoping for Mike to elaborate on how to choose well made eggs. Free range? Corn fed? Artisan? Are some better for scrambling and others for poaching?
Fresh as free range eggs are best for poaching proper fresh not shop fresh.
Bowl of Shreddies.

Another vote for this.

ooo, do I get two then...?....
Cant go far wrong with bacon eggs.
The best bacon you can get your hands on, *poached fresh free range / organic eggs, toast with thick white sliced bread. Freshly squeezed orange juice.
Fresh fruit salad (blue berries, strawberries, banana etc).
*see the stw how to poach an egg thread.
Double tap, leffeboy!

Buckfast and tins of All Day Breakfast / Beans & Sausages.
Kippers.
Pancakes. Nutella, salted caramel sauce, fresh custard, soft fruit.
Bacon eggs, sausages, plum tomato's, toast and freshly ground coffee here.
Can't wait.
Kippers
Good call - Kippers are fantastic (Fortune's in Whitby is the place to visit). They do kinda leave a smell for a few days though...
Eggs benedict and bucks fizz works for us.
Food of the Gods, it’s the only acceptable serving of the day.
Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and a buck's fizz. Breakfast of champions.
Obviously, I smoke the salmon myself...
Nah, skip breakfast, its for wimps, and you can have a posh breakfast any day of the year. Have an early dinner (we have ours at about 2:30 or 3pm) and load up on that, go for a late afternoon walk and leave room for the best bit of Christmas, at least for me.... the butties in the evening.
But early booze...of course!
nice plain bacon butty on thick white bread and butter.
plenty of rich food will be eaten through the rest of the day.
