Welcome to Your Brilliant Breakfast!
First things first; you have bought a Nairn’s Brilliant Breakfast box, so we reckon you’re already pretty special. Thank you! You probably also know a thing or two about creating a great breakfast, but, if you do need a bit of fresh inspiration, you’re in the right place. We’ve put together some tips and hints on hosting the best breakfast, and we also have lots of recipes to give you food for thought and make the most of the delicious Nairn’s goodies in your Brilliant Breakfast Box. Let’s get started.
The Important Stuff
The Brilliant Breakfast is all about Women Supporting Women through The Prince’s Trust. We will donate at least 10% from the sale of every box to the charity, so thank you for making that possible – but we can all do more.
You can set up your own fundraising page here. If you don’t want to do that, we are happy to collect donations through our page here.
Every penny raised will help fund vital programmes which change the lives of disadvantaged young women across the whole of the UK, supporting them into education, training and work. We are delighted to be working with The Prince’s Trust on such a brilliant and inspiring initiative.
The Fun Stuff
First, choose your date
The Brilliant Breakfast is running for a whole week, from 11th to 17th October 2021, so pick a date and go for it!
Invite your guests
Friends? Family? Work mates celebrating the return to the office? Or maybe you can do all three. Or have a special breakfast every morning that week. The possibilities are only as limited as your address book... The more the merrier!
Set the scene
We hope that you will be able to host your breakfast face-to-face, but, in these uncertain times, Zoom is a useful standby. Set the table: a few flowers in a jam jar make the perfect centre piece, maybe add some fancy paper napkins, dig out the china that only ever appears at Christmas. You get the idea – make a splash and invite your guests to do the same. After a year spent in joggers and slippers, who doesn’t want an excuse to dress up? If you’re on Zoom, wear a hat - or a tiara! And don’t forget to share your pics on social; tag @TheBrilliantBreakfast on Insta and Facebook, @BrilliantBrekkie on Twitter. If you tag us, we’ll be happy to share and spread the word.
Now for the food!
We’ve tried to give you a great selection of goodies which you can serve up in so many different ways – all quick and easy to prepare, but guaranteed to make your guests very happy. Try our Perfect Porridge recipes for some exciting twists on a traditional favourite, or go to our Baked Oats ideas for a contemporary take. Our Overnight Oats will give you a whole range of Insta-worthy options, while our Great Granola is the perfect pairing with our Silky Smoothies.
Ready for the main course?
Why not ditch your daily toast and switch it up with some tasty breakfast toppings on our delicious oatcakes? We have a range of sweet and savoury options which may surprise your guests, but we reckon they’ll soon be asking for more... Take a look at our Ditch the Toast Oatcakes and maybe you can add a few of your own ideas. And if you still have room for a sweet treat after all of that, our Flippin’ Good Pancakes should fit the bill.
Just add endless pots of tea and coffee, maybe a few glasses of orange juice – or Buck’s Fizz, if you’re in the mood – and you’re all set for a Brilliant Breakfast!
If you’re hosting your Brilliant Breakfast on Zoom, that doesn’t have to spoil the fun. Why not give your guests an advance challenge (say, the most exotic overnight oats or the wackiest take on porridge), then you can all indulge in a spot of breakfast envy when you meet up on screen!
You could even make it a competition where the winner gets to host another breakfast when we’re all allowed to get together again...
And remember: After you have taken such good care of your guests, ask them to reach out and help care for a young woman in need, by making a donation through your fundraising page. Thank you for being part of The Brilliant Breakfast and we hope you have a great time.
Bon appetit!
