Breakfast in bed: What you need and what you should pay attention to

Breakfast in bed is a dream for many: wake up and breakfast is already ready. You can quickly and easily prepare a great breakfast and make your loved ones happy.
However, you should note the following tips:

  • Breakfast in bed only makes sense if you have a stable base for the mini buffet. A bed tray that can be safely placed in the bed is best suited. You should have a firm surface available, especially for drinks. A large board or side table is also suitable for breakfast in bed. Tip: With an etagere you can serve breakfast in a small area.
  • Also use a tablecloth, as bread in particular can create a lot of crumbs that you will otherwise have in bed.
  • You will need the following dishes for most recipes: tea or coffee pot, plates, cutlery, egg cups and napkins. You can also add a flower for the best impression.
  • For an even better atmosphere, you can play quiet music in the background. Since it’s probably still early, classical music or quiet pop are best. With online music providers like Spotify, you can find many different playlists that might fit. In the “Chill” category, for example, there is a large selection of suitable music.
  • Breakfast makes a particularly good impression when there is a large selection. A kind of “mini buffet” makes the best impression. Below are some examples that you can use to create your own breakfast in bed.

Colorful and healthy: the avocado and egg sandwich

Avocados are becoming increasingly popular and are very versatile. The fruits are also very suitable as a spread.

  • Take a slightly thicker slice of whole wheat bread.
  • Peel the avocado. Then mash the avocado with a fork and spread generously on the bread.
  • Now you can top the bread with different ingredients according to your taste. Boiled eggs and parsley, for example, are suitable. Tomatoes and cucumbers are also very good.
  • Decorate the bread with suitable fruits or nuts. Pomegranate seeds go particularly well here.
  • Tip: cut your bread slices into hearts with a cookie cutter to add a romantic touch to breakfast.

Sweet and fruity breakfast in bed: waffles with fruit

Waffles are delicious and can be served with a variety of side dishes. Colorful ingredients are suitable for breakfast in bed because it is well known that the eye eats with you.
Various fruits are suitable as ingredients or decorations. Waffles with bananas or berries and additional nut nougat cream, ice cream, or cream are a delicious and beautiful breakfast.

  • You can easily bake waffles yourself if you have a waffle iron. You can find many good recipes for this online.
  • Decide for yourself which side dishes you want to use and decorate the waffles and the plate nicely.
  • With a cup of hot cocoa, tea or coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice you have served a delicious and beautiful breakfast.

Breakfast the British way: The English Breakfast

Many love the English breakfast – or at least parts of it. You can also quickly and easily prepare a full English breakfast and serve it in bed.
The following courses are part of a traditional English breakfast:

  1. orange juice and fruits
  2. Cornflakes or oatmeal
  3. Grilled Tomatoes, Toast, Hash Browns, Baked Beans, Fried Mushrooms, Fried Sausages, Bacon, and Fried Eggs.
  4. Toast with sweet spread and tea

Pros and cons of breakfast in bed

Although breakfast in bed is very cozy and looks very nice in photos and videos, it can also end differently. You should note the following disadvantages and try to avoid these errors:

  • A bed is soft: every little movement can cause the breakfast board to slip, tip over, or something similar. Be careful the bed tray is stable and can hold the breakfast.
  • Crumbs: Rolls in particular tend to crumble a lot. Make sure you have a good surface, such as a tablecloth, to catch crumbs. A cordless vacuum cleaner is the best helper for small mishaps.
  • Transport from the kitchen: Everything is within reach in the kitchen and if something is missing, it is on the table in just a few steps and handles. It’s not that easy for the bedroom.
  • Getting up early: Setting up and preparing can be time-consuming. You may have to get up very early to prepare breakfast in bed. Once you know the process, this should be done in a short time and you can enjoy your breakfast shortly afterward. Enjoy your meal!
