Christmas morning breakfast

mrsddurand

 DH & I are starting our own traditions so that we can make sure we have our family time [once we start having our little ones] and not just going straight to the IL's. So, what do you make for Christmas morning breakfast? I'd love to hear some ideas!

ILs just make the standard bacon, eggs, pancake breakfast.

I've made this quiche a bunch of times and it's great.  DH luuuves it and will ask for it for dinner sometimes.  It doesn't last long here, even with just the two of us.

We usually do cinnamon rolls.

I buy the chocolate croissants from Trader Joe's- in their frozen section.  Super easy!

I may need to try TH&R's quiche recipe, DH loves quiche!

One year I made pumpkin pancakes topped with a bit of powdered sugar.

Usually what happens is we share one of these that I make to take to a Christmas get-together.

As our first married Christmas together we haven't decided our schedule/timeline yet.. but I would love to start traditions!

Chi_lyn -- that pumpkin roll looks DELICIOUS.

We are hosting a Christmas morning breakfast for just our parents. I told H that I wanted our own tradition. I plan to do a breakfast casserole with eggs, sausage, and cheese. You can go to receipe sites and look them up...they are pretty good! They have vegetarian ones, ones without eggs, all sorts of kinds!

We're hosting brunch this year as the first year at our own house (my in-laws are coming over).  We're having a ham, quiche and something sweet (sticky buns or those chocolate croissants sound good).  I figure I can make the quiche a day or two ahead and the ham is easy.  I'll probably buy the sweets and maybe do some fruit.

Growing up, we had a ton of food.  Ham, sausage, scrambled eggs, english muffins, donuts and milk shakes.  Or at least it seemed like a ton for the 4 of us.

My mom always make an egg bake call Christmas Morning Egg Bake.  You put it together the night before and then just toss in the oven on Christmas morning (or whenever you want to eat it).

It's one of only a few traditions my family has with just my parents and siblings/spouses.  Sometimes we have it on Christmas morning and sometimes we have it later depending on when we get together to open presents.

We have a recipe for a baked French toast with a cranberry sauce.  Mmmm...

I also make hash brown potatoes with pieces of red and green peppers - very Christmas-y looking.

We change the actual food each year: egg bake, smoked salmon, quiche.  But, every year we drink mimosas while we open our gifts to each other.  Makes the "just us time" a little more special. 

DandelionMom

Cinnamon rolls, fruit, and bacon

We really don't do much than what we have usually (cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast/bagels etc).  I tried to do a special breakfast when my kids were smaller, but nobody was interested...LOL.  I remember growing up my Mom trying to make us sit at the table and drink juice and eat waffles or whatever and none of us wanted any part of it.  I guess my kids have taken that gene from me.

We do old school breakfast casserole (sausage & egg) and monkey bread for Christmas morning breakfast. Family tradition. The last couple of years my mom has been with us and MIL and SIL join us to watch the kids open presents. Last year we also had a friend join us whose family was unexpectedly out of town. Our door is pretty much open to anyone who wants to join us on Christmas morning!

I make french toast casserole.  Yummmmmm!

Bonus: You can make it the night before and just put it in the oven when you start opening presents.

We've always had quiche in my family. DH's family use to have a breakfast casserole, but now DH makes my mom's quiche when we're visiting them.

We have an egg bake that I assemble the night before.   I buy a bag of frozen shredded potatoes and cook them with some chopped onion in a little bit of oil and season them too taste.   Spread the potatoes in a casserole dish.   Then I add a layer of meat(either browned sausage, bacon, or ham)  Add a bunch of shredded cheese.   Crack a bunch of eggs into a bowl, mix them all up and dump on top.  

Cook it the next morning for at 375 for about 30-40 minutes.

We do cinnamon rolls and coffee first thing in the morning and then have a late breakfast/brunch over at my parents' house. That consists of a quiche or breakfast casserole, danishes and other breakfast pastries, ham, carmelized pears, and sparkling cider or mimosas.

Last year we did a sausage and egg casserole and a pecan cream cheese danish. 

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this year, I'm also hosting Christmas dinner at my house, so we'll need a heavy breakfast to hold us until about 3:00.

Cinnamon rolls, sausage & egg casserole, apple sauce, fruit, sausage, orange juice for brunch.

I make cinnamon buttermilk muffins, cinnamon rolls, and deviled eggs.  I know the deviled eggs aren't really a "breakfast" thing - but they're a HUGE hit with my crowd!  My nieces and nephew get orange juice and the adults get Mimosas!!!

I was going to say something sweet like cinnamon rolls but that looks pretty popular already

This year is our first married Christmas.  Since we're hosting Christmas Eve, I'd like to have a low-key Christmas morning.  I love the croissants on Williams-Sonoma.com.  They are a bit pricey, but they are so good! So, we'll be having mimosas and croissants for breakfast!
