What better way to start your day than with the perfect start? We've selected delicious and quick breakfast recipes for the perfect Champagne breakfast.

1. Luxury sandwiches

Delicious croissants, homemade or bought from the bakery. The buttery texture of the croissants pairs perfectly with a glass of bubbly. Savory toppings like brie, cheese, ham, and salmon also pair well with Champagne. A croissant with baked brie, for example, is a delicious treat. Besides savory, you can also choose sweet toppings. A classic is the croissant with butter and jam. Chocolate is also a good option, such as a chocolate croissant or pain au chocolat.

2. Toast

You can hardly go wrong with toast. It's incredibly quick and easy to make. Plus, the crunch of toast pairs beautifully with Champagne. There are endless variations when it comes to toppings. Delicious pairings with Champagne include salmon, pâté, or soft cheeses. For an extra touch of luxury, serve it with different kinds of compote.

3. Breakfast muffin

The breakfast muffin comes in many variations, from sweet to savory. Think carefully about who you're making breakfast for and what they like. The ingredients we used for this muffin are egg, bacon, and spring onion. The saltiness of the bacon pairs beautifully with Champagne. You can also make it with spinach, mushrooms, salmon, and even bread. All you need is a muffin pan or other ovenproof container, an oven, and the ingredients! Bake for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Super easy.

4. Apple crumble

This dish also has several variations. Apple crumble is a kind of mini apple pie and pairs well with Champagne, which is slightly sweeter than Brut. This way, the sweetness of the apple crumble balances nicely with the Champagne. Mix two diced apples with cinnamon, sugar, and raisins and divide them between two bowls. In a separate bowl, combine flour and butter until a crumbly batter forms. Divide this mixture between the two bowls and bake for fifteen minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. Not a fan of apples? Then experiment with other fruits.
