This may be my speediest post ever – my eldest is due home from University tomorrow, Number 2’s 18th birthday is 4 days before Christmas and I am up to my ears in festive stuff –  it is highly probable that I shall implode! However, I wanted to share our recipe for Christmas morning Eggy Bread, it’s easy and delicious and a perfect start to the day! You don’t have to cut your bread into Christmas shapes but it tastes so much better if you do!

Christmas tree eggy bread on a white plate.

 

This recipe serves three people, making 1 large and 2 small trees for each. I whizz the crusts up in the food mixer to make breadcrumbs and freeze them so nothing goes to waste.

If you make my recipe I’d love to hear how it turns out for you. Please leave a comment and a star rating below and share your pictures with me on social media. Tag me @thinlyspread and include the hashtag #thinlyspread so I can see them!

You can make savoury eggy bread by adding a little salt, yeast extract or chilli instead of the cinnamon and sugar. Serve with fresh fruit if you make them sweet or with veggie sausages and mushrooms if you go for savoury – or just eat them on their own and enjoy!
