10 Easy Royal Wedding Party Foods That You'll Actually Want To Make At The Crack Of Dawn

It doesn't get much more British than scones, and these chocolate chip scones from Brown Eyed Baker are surprisingly simple to make from scratch (just 20 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of baking).

Bacon and Nutella Napoleons? Yes, yes, and yes — especially because this recipe from A Spicy Perspective is made with store bought pound cake, so you'll be doing more assembling than actual cooking. If this feels too detailed for your early-morning call-time, then skip the intricate assembly and just use the components to make little pound cake sandwiches. All the yummy flavors will still be there.

When you're hosting a party in the wee hours of the morning (which doesn't happen very often in life, thankfully), make-ahead recipes like this one for mini ham and spinach breakfast pies from Good Life Eats are essential. Just reheat and serve. (Also, once again, any type of "pie" is in keeping with the British theme, right?)

In keeping with the overnight prep theme, the batter for these waffles with whipped Meyer lemon cream and strawberries from Half Baked Harvest sits overnight (and the whipped cream can be made ahead of time, too), so all you have to do is fire up the waffle iron in the morning. Plus, the lemon cream is a nice shout-out to the lemon-elderflower royal wedding cake.

Of course if you're not much into making homemade waffles, no one's going to judge you for throwing a few frozen Eggos in the toaster instead.

For the easiest possible morning, you're going to want to supplement your homemade dishes with some store-bought stuff. There's still a tiny bit of time left to order some authentic Duffy's Crumpets from Amazon for $17, or you can always grab some at the grocery store or bakery. Serve with an assortment of toppings: butter, jam, honey, lemon curd, Nutella, cream cheese, almond butter, etc.

They're not quite bangers and mash, but these sausage and egg hash brown cups from Mom on Timeout do have the oh-so-British sausage thing going for them.

Yes, there's already a recipe for scones on this list. But remember, scones are very, very British... and very easy. These glazed lemon blueberry scones (also from Mom on Timeout) have the lemon tie-in, too, so they're beyond perfect.

No cooking required for this light, elegant melon salad with honey, lime and mint from Simply Scratch — and the gorgeous pastel colors look like they should be in a bridesmaid's bouquet.

The lazy version? Sliced melons drizzled with honey and lime and garnished with flecks of mint. The secret to making it a show-stopper is consistency: cut up the slices so that they're uniform in size.

Whether you pick up a platter of pre-made mini sandwiches or make them yourself, tea sandwiches are super British and take very little effort. Classic combos include cucumber slices and butter on white bread, watercress and egg salad, and smoked salmon and cream cheese on pumpernickel (check out more tea sandwich ideas on The Spruce).

Not only can this make-ahead breakfast casserole from My Baking Addiction be made ahead, as the name implies, it's also another way to incorporate the British sausage theme into your menu. Mix all the ingredients the night before and toss the one-dish casserole into the oven in the morning. By the time Harry & Meghan exchange vows, you and your guests will be digging into this savory dish.
