Christmas breakfast ideas

Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

I have done this the last few years. Damn good and easy plus it's different.

Grillades and grits.

great suggestion. i may do this for breakfast on new years day.

I've done a breakfast taco station, where I make a big pan of scrambled eggs, and then put out bowls of crumbled breakfast sausage, bacon, cheeses, potatoes, salsa, green onions, etc. people made their own tacos. Seemed to go over well.

we used to have pancakes with bacon and fruit (usually oranges, strawberries, grapefruit)

Ziploc omelets. Everyone can put whatever they want in their omelet and they can all be ready at the same time so you can all sit down as a group to eat. If you have a lot of people you may need a crawfish type pot and burner to keep the water boiling when you add all the ziplocs.

Christmas tradition

I usually fix up a French Toast Casserole for things like that. You throw it all together the night before than bake in the morning.

2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 loaf of french bread (sliced)
5 eggs
2 cups of milk
1 tbsp vanilla

Night (or 8 hours) before:

Line a 9x13 dish with brown sugar. Pour melted butter over top of layer. Then add maple syrup. Place slices of french bread across dish. In a bowl beat eggs and 2 cups of milk. Pour over bread. Cover and stick in the fridge for at least 8 hours.

Morning/Day of:

Put in cold oven and turn oven on to 375 degrees. Bake for 45 minutes or until browned on edges of bread.

Just a FYI, it will rise and be a little soft when you pull it out of the oven. Don't freak out. It'll fall almost immediately. Let sit a couple of minutes before you serve. You can drizzle syrup or dust with powdered sugar but I prefer without.

We do the sausage links wrapped in crescent rolls. Not sure if that's what you call pigs in blanket but they are heavenly and our family traditional as well
