Breakfast in Bed Baked Eggs

I’m firmly in the camp that breakfast in bed is a Good Thing.

I’m usually pretty adept at keeping crumbs out of the sheets, and very much enjoy a leisurely pot of tea in bed with a book, so to be fed while I’m in there is only going to make a good thing great.

Every birthday, every Mother’s Day, every any day you’ll find me propped up on fluffed pillows with a beautifully laid tray full of niceties and I bloody love it.

Apart from the smoking, Princess Margaret’s morning routine is my life’s ambition, so I’m getting a solid head start.

Today I have the MOST indulgent yet simple to make baked eggs dish for your breakfast dining pleasure (it’s so rich and delicious), and some very pretty tableware for you to feast your eyes upon, courtesy of Maxwell & Williams.

Totally in love with the Toile de Fleur Teapot featuring hand-drawn designs by Australian artist Gabby Malpas, and a full litre size at only $40 is a beautiful bargain. In fact, all Maxwell & Williams items I find super affordable.

To go with, the Toile de Fleur Sugar & Creamer Set. In fact, Maxwell & Williams have a whole dinner set in this pattern, with coasters and placemats to match.

The Royal Botanic Gardens collaboration is a particular favourite of mine, and features this Victoria Botanica Floris Cup & Saucer set in Camelia (also available in iris and strelitzia, aka bird of paradise).

Yes, that’ll do nicely!

Ah but what’s this?

We’re all in love with that Flores Leaf Shape Plate here. The girls fight over who gets their toast on it.

The  is so varied and beautiful I had to go a bit left of centre and go the metallic pewter teaspoon. A bit dramatic and unexpected in such a floral wonderland so into the cart it goes!

And I got not one, but two of these Euphemia Henderson plates. This is the Sweet Pea, and I also got the Pink Heath, but to be honest I’d have loved the lot.

The Euphemia Henderson collection is also part of the the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Collection, named after the acclaimed Victorian wildflower artist and celebrating the beauty and colour of our native flora. Its hard for me to go past that!

And that beautiful pitcher embossed with Euphemia’s floral design holding all that gorgeous gum? It’s also part of the Botanic Gardens collection and again, only $40. It’s a hefty thing too, very solid and beautifully made.

But now for the eggs!
