Ingredients:

5. Hogwarts Breakfast Spread Ideas

Why settle for just one dish when you can create a breakfast spread inspired by the Great Hall itself? Here’s how to make it happen:

Let’s start with the English Breakfast Staples, the famous scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausages, and baked beans, which are an essential in every British table.

Now, you can add a couple of magic touches, like an owl-shaped toast, which you can make by using an owl-shaped cookie cutter to create whimsical toast slices. For a more healthy breakfast, you can even add an enchanted fruit salad by adding star-shaped fruit slices for a magical look. And, you can even make golden snitch scones by decorating your scones with edible gold dust for a truly magical appearance.

To present a breakfast meal worthy of the great hall, consider using wooden serving boards and vintage-style plates and adding small decorative elements like house banners or a sorting hat centerpiece to make your spread Instagram-worthy.
