Christmas is almost upon us!
I think that a Christmas morning brunch is a lovely thing. It’s become a bit of a tradition in my family’s house to open presents and then have a large breakfast. If we’re feeling particularly chipper, we have the full menu of eggs, sausage, stollen, cake, fruit, eggnog, coffee, etc. It’s glorious.
Here are a few ideas for you to help plan a brunch menu:
Chorizo Breakfast Hash from Country Cleaver
Hashbrown Egg Nests with Avocado from The Cooking Jar
Lemony Eggs Florentine from Williams-Sanoma
Baked Egg Boats from Spoon Fork Bacon
Dirty Chai Pancakes from here on Buttered Side Up
Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls form Culinary Concoctions by Peabody
Stollen Bread from Artisan Bread in Five
Bruleed Grapefruit from Pastry Affair
Salted Caramel Eggnog Pancakes from The Merry Thought
Stollen Scones from She Who Eats
Peppermint Hot Chocolate from here on Buttered Side Up
Homemade Eggnog from here on Buttered Side Up
Salted Nutella Latte from The Faux Martha
Now I want to consume way more breakfast food than is good for me.
What are YOUR plans for Christmas?
I also love a special breakfast for Christmas morning. We started a tradition of cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and we always look forward to it. I try to make them the night before and bake them Christmas morning to have them done faster. 🙂
The centerpiece of our Christmas breakfast is always sour cream coffee cake, only we don't call it that. It's called Who Died? coffee cake because my grandmother used to make it when a neighbor or friend died. My mother and her siblings would come into the kitchen, see the cake, and ask, "Who died?" Now, though, we don't wait for death to make it!
What a lovely tradition. Fresh cinnamon rolls are the best. 🙂 Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Mmmmm…love me a good coffee cake. What a fun story! May you and yours have a Merry Christmas. 🙂
