Breakfast in bed is something most of us don’t do often enough (if at all). Lounging in your pyjamas, sipping a hot cup of coffee and snuggling under the blankets like a dream. So what’s stopping us from enjoying this luxurious morning ritual? Maybe it’s lack of time. Or perhaps we want someone to serve us breakfast in bed every morning (keep dreaming). Or more likely, it’s a fear of making a mess in bed, of leaving a trail of crumbs for the bedbugs and staining your sheets with orange juice and coffee.

Worry no more. Here are a few delicious meal ideas you can whip up quickly that won’t leave you with a huge mess in bed. Bon Appétit!


Breakfast in Bed Tray
First things first — before you even attempt to do breakfast in bed you need a serving tray, preferably one that has a stand you can rest your legs under. And while you may be tempted to use any old mug or glass to hold your favourite beverages, just use a travel mug or something with a lid for peace of mind. Accidents are bound to happen —especially if you have young children using your bed as a jumpy-thing.


1) Easy Baked Eggs
Perfect for lazy weekends, you can whip up a batch of baked eggs with cheese and tarragon in 10 minutes, and relax while they bake in the oven for another 10 minutes. The ramekins keep mess to a minimum. Get the recipe here.


2) Peach Smoothie
