FAQs

A good Halloween breakfast is equal parts spooky and tasty, and should be something that looks fun but is still easy to pull together in the morning. Our Halloween Spooky Toasts are the ideal mix of sweet and savoury treats, sure to satisfy every little (and big!) kid in the family. The key is to keep it simple, colourful, and themed so it sets the mood for Halloween right from breakfast.

Halloween is famous for sweet treats, and the most eaten food is definitely lollies (everything from chocolate bars to gummy worms fills trick-or-treat bags). But at home, themed snacks and meals are also hugely popular, especially for lunch boxes or family breakfasts. Fun recipes like Jack-O’-Lantern Grilled Cheese or Ghost Egg-In-A-Hole Toast are a great way to get into the spirit before the sugar rush starts. You’ll also see pumpkin-flavoured goodies, caramel apples, popcorn, and themed cupcakes making regular appearances this time of year.

Egg in a hole, where you cut a shape out of a slice of bread and cook an egg in the middle, has been around for over a century. While no one’s 100% sure where it started, it’s been in cookbooks since the early 1900s under all sorts of names, like “egg in a basket” or “toad in a hole” (though that’s a completely different British dish with sausages and Yorkshire pudding). Aussies have been making their own versions for decades because it’s quick, easy, and a bit of fun.
