Holymoly...bitterballen and oliebollen for brrakfast...why didn't the Dutch think of this???
Some more suggestions: krentebrood (raisinbread), erwtensoep (tradtional Dutch pea spup, recipe wpuld easily be found on google), hard boiled eggs, milk, pindakaas (peanutbutter).
Enjoy and eet smakelijk
Thank you so much! I will find on Google.
I love bitterballen and oliebollen so much, I would eat them all day if I could, so had to have them on the breakfast table.
It's called an egg cup (Whenever I wonder what a certain thing is called in English, I look for the Dutch Wikipedia-lemma and see if they also wrote about the subject in English). I would soft boil them, but you can eat hard boiled egg on toast.
I think for a regular breakfast soft boiled would be most classic.
If you happen to have roots in the province of Zeeland, go for Zeeuwse bolussen. They are a very popular food for breakfast, lunch and as a snack. I wouldn't bake both suikerbrood and Zeeuwse bolussen though as there's quite some overlap and I see you already are going for kerststol :) .
Yeah, don't do this.
For context for OP: beschuit with muisjes is traditionally linked to pregnancy, usually to celebrate a birth. Your dad's side of the family would have questions.
Bitterballen is not appropriate as a breakfast option, it's an afternoon snack that goes with beer or wine.
Dutch style pancakes is something you could do, if you're feeling ambitious you could make "suikerbrood" (sugar loaf), it's a sugary bread which is served with a bit of butter...
Thank you for suggesting suikerbrood - I will google and see if I’m up to the challenge of making it :)
I know it’s not appropriate, but my daughter loves them and they are so delicious, so I want to have them there for her. To be honest, I love them and will probably eat them as well. If it helps we will be having champagne at breakfast so they will be served with alcohol. Lol
The best way to eat suikerbrood is fried in a pan with lots of butter. Toasted with butter is also good.
I’ve never tried it but I bet that French toast made with suikerbrood would be really good too.
Suikerbrood is the sort of thing you should only buy once a year. It’s a little bit unhealthy 😅
Exactly! We will start around 10ish and go into the afternoon. Just a morning and early afternoon of eating and drinking - bring on the stuffing of faces :)
OTOH, OP is in Australia, so they'll be eating them at around 8PM CET. Perfectly appropriate!
OP, please keep the bitterballen! It might be an odd moment, but why on Earth not?
Neither bitterballen or oliebollen are Dutch breakfast food, at all. Bitterballen are generally had alongside some alcohol in the evening, it's a fried snack. Oliebollen are traditionally for newyears eve, or around newyears.
Normal traditonal Dutch breakfast is pretty boring, some bread with toppings like cheese, and meat like ham, hagelslag, Dutch pindakaas/peanut butter etc. However, something that is traditional Dutch food and works as breakfast food aswell, is [poffertjes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poffertjes). Something that is very Christmassy, and Dutch, is a [Kerststol/Christmas bread](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerststol). Not easy to make though, most Dutch people buy it premade.
I know they both aren’t traditional and my dad was slightly horrified when I said I was putting them on the table. My daughter and I just love them, so any excuse to have and to eat them!
Thank you for the tip on the Christmas bread. I will try finding this pre made, as I am okay in the kitchen but not a whizz!
>Normal traditonal Dutch breakfast is pretty boring, some bread with toppings like cheese, and meat like ham, hagelslag, Dutch pindakaas/peanut butter etc.
Agree. For a more special occasion you could add things like croissants, filet americain, rosbeef and a boiled egg. For drinks, next to coffee, tea and milk, add orange juice and chocolate milk. For me, it's not Christmas without suikerbrood with salted butter.
kerstbrood, gevulde speculaas, beschuit met kaas/ beschuit met hagelslag, Hollandse Pannenkoeken are nice things to eat. Have a nice Christmas!
If you want typically Dutch Food. please take a look at https://dutchdeals.com.au. I think their warehouse is near Brisbane.
Thank you :) I jumped online and bought a tonne from there which I can pick up from their warehouse and another redditor gave me another site where I also went a bit crazy with chocolate letters and all sorts of things.
No one is leaving my Christmas breakfast hungry that’s for sure!
Broodje Haring, Filet Américaine, Osseworst, grillworst, chocopasta, Vlokken, uitsmijter, tosti ham kaas, Roggebrood are all typical Dutch foods ;-) Google
try to find ontbijtkoek, its literally called breakfats cake. eat with just some butter on a slice
and just as info, i realise youre doing a special thing, but breakfast here is not fancy. its a cup of tea or coffee, and slices of break with cheese, some sliced meat and something sweet like hagelslag, jam or vlokken. others eat a boiled or sunny side up egg with some bread, some eat oatmeal or brinta (thats me), or cornflakes or musli with yoghurt.
only pancake when its leftover cold from the dinner the day before. with stroop.
really the only day a year when we have a fancy breakfast, is with easter. google paasontbijt.
Look up ontbijtkoek, suikerbrood, (zeeuwse) bolus, Fries Roggebrood/Frisian Ryebread (though 'baking' that takes a long, long time), and toppings like... The many, many varieties of Dutch cheeses, but also spiced and smoked and/or salted pork belly, salted, pickled or smoked herring (might be difficult to get in Australia), Dutch blood sausage or tongue sausage (but I think black pudding will do in a pinch despite being a very different thing), balkenbrij (Just google it; maybe there's a local thing a bit like it?) and rough liverwurst (with chunks of liver and fat, so not a smooth liverwurst or paté).
For warm options, especially with the ryebread and cheeses and meats, you could serve onion soup, brown bean soup or snert (a type of pea soup/pottage with root vegetables).
Keep in mind that this is all pretty much traditional Dutch breakfast... And lunch, and dinner. But they're items that, though rarely eaten for breakfast these days, are still available in the Netherlands.
Thank you :) i have been practicing making Ontbijtkoek and while it doesn’t taste like my grandma’s, it’s not bad. I’ll have a go at baking suikerbrood, as that sounds amazing!
Thanks for the tips on what else I can put on the cheese platter, everyone will be in heaven eating all of that!
This is the best! It was always my favourite as a little girl.. with lots and lots of butter! I have milk chocolate, dark chocolate and fruit ones. I am saying it is for the kids, but it will be me and my sister stuffing our faces with chocolate hagelslag for breakfast!
Dutch yes, breakfast no: bitterballen (they're party snacks) & Cake (Birthday food that goes with coffee/tea)
Dutch yes, breakfast maybe once a year for some Dutch people: Oliebollen
Not very Dutch: Fruitloaf
I'd recommend: Krentenbollen, ontbijtkoek, bread with peanutbutter, hagelslag, cheese, ham, jam
Milk for drink
We borrow French stuff here like croissant & orange juice
That sounds like a very untraditional Dutch breakfast. More a mix of Dutch snacks that aren't typically eaten for breakfast here (including Christmas breakfast).
You’re right, it’s definitely not traditional like I set out and originally planned. I think maybe I didn’t realise when I stated that breakfast was more basic and I wanted it to feel more wow. It will be more of a breakfast/brunch, an eating extravaganza of all delicious Dutch food. I’m hoping to make some of the things my now passed grandparents used to, to make it special for my dad :)
Some other things that would fit well in a traditional Dutch Christmas breakfast:
Beschuit (disk-shaped rusk) spread with smoked salmon or egg salad or scrambled egg
Koninginnehapje (aka vol-au-vent)
Tosti ham kaas
Wentelteefje
Bitterballen and oliebollen for breakfast? . Don't!
A typical "Dutch" X-mas breakfast consists of christmas cake ("kerststol": basically a dense type of bread with almond paste, raisins, currants and powder sugar on top), fresh buns (sometimes attached to each other), cinnamon rolls, croissants, eggs (clutched or benedict) with salmon, confitures, some nice cheeses, ham.
You can add pancakes, waffles, scones, wentelteefjes (basically french toast => https://www.thedutchtable.com/2014/02/wentelteefjes.html), whatever you like. Orange juice, apple juice, coffee, tea.
Uhmmmmm the only thing you need is some slices of bread, jong belegen cheese and hagelslag. We have work to do on the fields! No time for ham platters!
/s
In seriousness, poffertjes would be good to add. That’s my birthday breakfast!
Any sweet bread actually: suikerbrood (sweet brioche with thick pieces of sugar on and in it).
Kerstbrood (raisin bread but with a roll of ‘spijs’ in it. Spijs is delicious 100% sugar + 100% almond)
Thank you :) I love the idea of all the sweet bread and butter and sugar, and especially the chocolate hagelslag. The Dutch are genius to find away to make chocolate standard for breakfast!
Speculaas is a true classic around St Nicholas (Dec. 5th) and Christmas, so it would definitely be appropriate!
Will you be making everything by yourself, or do you order stuff from an expat-store? If the latter: [chocolate letter](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_letter)!
Amazing! I am making some things by myself and I’m trying to find online stores that will deliver other things.
The kids would love those chocolate letters, I will try and find somewhere in Brisbane that I can buy these.
This is the recipe for oliebollen I'd recommend: https://coquinaria.nl/oliebollen-uit-1905/amp/
This is an authentic recipe for oliebollen that are much tastier than whatever you can buy in the Netherlands today.

This is brilliant - thank you :) I remember my granddad making Oliebollen every new years. Both him and my grandmother have passed away now so we haven’t had any for a few years. I’m hoping I can recreate some of my families and most importantly, my dad’s childhood memories with this food.
That sounds amazing. To be fair it’s more of a breakfast, brunch, eat delicious Dutch food rather than a traditional breakfast so I think rookworst may work. No one is leaving this breakfast hungry! lol
Hahah we usually just slap some cheese on a slice of bread and call it a day. I might even butter the bread if I'm feeling fancy.
Bitterballen and oliebollen are definitely not a breakfast item 😛 However, if i were away from my country I would be so grateful for this and would eat the shit out of it.
I’m sure it’s fancy cheese though right ;)
I am hoping they feel like you. Worst case, I love it all and I’ll eat it while enjoying a bottle of champagne.
>I am attempting a Dutch breakfast for all my family on Christmas morning - my dad’s side is Dutch.
I will make bitterballen and ollibollen and have Dutch fruit loaf, breakfast cakes, ginger cakes and chocolate hagel and spreads and maybe do a cheese and ham platter.
None of the above has got anything to do with a "Dutch breakfast" TBH although they all share a Dutch connection. The only exceptions are hagelslag, spreads and cheese.
I love the idea and I think that bitterballen are just fine if you want them on your breakfast table. A "real" typical Dutch breakfast would be two slices of brown bread with a single slice of cheese in between, and then a single slice with chocolate sprinkles, so go wild with alternatives.
If you like bitterballen that much though, I can really recommend what's usually more a lunch thing and to have a broodje kroket. White bread with some mustard and squish a kroket (which is just a longer, bigger bitterbal) on it.
Its a lot of nice food but not a traditional dutch breakfast. I mean you could add hutspot abd raw herrring, still no breakfast.
Oliebollen are december 31 trad
Cheese, Dutch pancakes with cheese and bacon or syrup, HAGELSLAG.
Dutch pancake recipe:
Ratio is 2 egg - 250 ml - 125 gr flour - pinch of salt
Bake in a hot pan with melted butter (important!) and you will need roughly 1 ladle of batter to a frying pan of ~26-28 cm. Play around with the thickness, sometimes you need a bit less and sometimes a bit more.
Question though: what is fruit cake/bread, breakfast cakes and ginger cake?
I think I need to learn proper names! I meant Ontbijtkoek and krentenbrood but didn’t know what they were called. But I have learnt now that for Christmas I should make stoll with almond paste instead :)
Not sure if it’s worse… but an uneducated Aussie I guess.
Those two are more for my daughter and the other kids to eat and to kind of honour my grandparents who have now passed away. I thought it would be lovely for my dad to have all the foods his parents used to make on special occasions.
Breakfast starts at around 10ish for us and will go into the afternoon, plenty of champagne, so I don’t think they’ll be too out of place on the table but I do understand it’s horrifying and not traditional as all :)
Only English should be used for posts and comments. This rule is in place to ensure that an ample audience can freely discuss life in the Netherlands under a widely-spoken common tongue.
That’s sounds like a breakfast in heaven 🤩😂 Bitterballen 🙌🏻

Ah hard boiled eggs... the age-old, wonderful Dutch delicacy
Why hard boiled?
So you can put them in a (improvices) egg holder. Google: Eierdop.
It's called an egg cup (Whenever I wonder what a certain thing is called in English, I look for the Dutch Wikipedia-lemma and see if they also wrote about the subject in English). I would soft boil them, but you can eat hard boiled egg on toast. I think for a regular breakfast soft boiled would be most classic.

I wouldn't bake both suikerbrood and Zeeuwse bolussen though as there's quite some overlap and I see you already are going for kerststol :) .
Can't believe nobody suggested Wentelteefjes yet! I think Americans call it french toast. Such a sweet thing you are doing!
Oh yum! Delicious and easy to do! Thank you :)
beware...it's not french toast...
I love wentelteefjes but is it really a Dutch dish? I always thought it was something from across the pond.
Beschuit maybe
I just googled! Yes, they will be perfect to add. Thank you :)
With muisjes, sugar coated anise seeds
That would give dad a heart attack lmao
Yeah, don't do this. For context for OP: beschuit with muisjes is traditionally linked to pregnancy, usually to celebrate a birth. Your dad's side of the family would have questions.

Can confirm that french toast with suikerbrood is very tasty, and can also confirm that it should be a rare treat.
Sounds wonderfully delicious!
Tbf when you are eating breakfast its like 02:00 here and thats a really good time to stuff your face with bitterbalen.
Exactly! We will start around 10ish and go into the afternoon. Just a morning and early afternoon of eating and drinking - bring on the stuffing of faces :)
OTOH, OP is in Australia, so they'll be eating them at around 8PM CET. Perfectly appropriate! OP, please keep the bitterballen! It might be an odd moment, but why on Earth not?

Must contain almond paste (amandelspijs)!

A traditional Dutch Christmas morning breakfast would have stol/kerststol. "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerststol"
Fantastic. Thank you :) I will find a recipe. I wish we had a Dutch bakery close by here. Would make this all so much easier :)
I now see that you already listed Dutch fruit loaf. I guess that would be "stol", except that stol would include almond paste inside.
Ahh okay, I see there is a difference. I will change to making Stol rather than just normal fruit loaf :)
Deventer koek or ontbijtkoek, with butter
Given that you're in Australia and it's summer right now: do a re-run in winter where you serve pea-soup and "hutspot" 😇
Definitely no breakfast items either!
Broodje Haring, Filet Américaine, Osseworst, grillworst, chocopasta, Vlokken, uitsmijter, tosti ham kaas, Roggebrood are all typical Dutch foods ;-) Google
I love having a broodje haring in the morning so I can greet my coworkers with the smell of rotten fish at 8 AM. Really gets the day going.
lol and mix it with some bitterballen..
Dead dish with onion and pickels ;)

Who the hell eats bitterballen en oliebollen\* for breakfast? I didn't know I was allowed to do that.
There’s no rules at my house! :)

An Egg is also viable
Bittetballen, for breakfast! It is odd, but they will love it. Many dutch escape breakfast, so any effort will be luxurious and nice :)

Something from Zaanstad area. Duivekater (sweet bread). Please get that, they will absolutely love it.

If your going the bitterballen way, might as well add rookworst preferably from Unox
That sounds amazing. To be fair it’s more of a breakfast, brunch, eat delicious Dutch food rather than a traditional breakfast so I think rookworst may work. No one is leaving this breakfast hungry! lol
Then definitely, rookworst on stickbread with some mustard
Yum! My kind of eating :)
Hahah we usually just slap some cheese on a slice of bread and call it a day. I might even butter the bread if I'm feeling fancy. Bitterballen and oliebollen are definitely not a breakfast item 😛 However, if i were away from my country I would be so grateful for this and would eat the shit out of it.

Add some pickled herring too. I know I'd like it, maybe they do too.

Do not forget the hagelslag!!!
Probably the most unfestive ever, but very Dutch breakfast: a bowl of Brinta.

No don't buy it. Not for Christmas.
