Take-out Tuesday, Easy Recipes for Special Holiday Breakfasts
Do you have a traditional dish you serve every year
for Christmas morning breakfast?
Christmas Morning Strata was our traditional breakfast for years
Simple bread squares baked with bacon,
eggs, cheese, green onions and cream
You make it a day ahead and refrigerate it overnight
for baking in the morning {recipe at the end of the post}
Another easy breakfast is Croissant Brunch Bake
Ham and cheese croissants are baked with eggs and milk
Prep it the day before and refrigerate overnight
Make an easy Sausage Pancake Lasagna using frozen pancakes
All you have to do is brown the sausage,
mix up an egg custard and combine it all in a casserole to bake
Take canned cinnamon rolls to the next level
by wrapping them around a cooked sausage link before baking
See the how to for Cinnamon Roll Surprise here
Angel Wings are made with Crescent Roll dough
It is spread with raspberry pie filling and white chocolate chips
and rolled up from both sides to the center,
then sliced, baked and iced
Make Bacon Roses to decorate the breakfast plates
All you have to do is to roll up raw bacon strips
and bake them in a mini muffin pan until crispy!
I hope I’ve given you some inspiration
for your special holiday breakfasts!

So many tasty options for breaking your fast on Christmas week Jenna! I’m craving a Cinnamon Roll Surprise now. 🙂 Merry Tuesday ❣️🎄
haha, me too!
Thanks Jenna for the wonderful ideas. When I was a young woman Christmas morning was always bedlam and a pop in the oven breakfast always helped.
Thank you Bernadette!
Jenna, I would choose any and all of your recipes for Christmas breakfast. Merry Tuesday ♥️
Thank you Pam!
You are so well prepared and organized, Jenna. Love those breakfast ideas!
Thanks Angie!
I usually do a breakfast casserole similar to your strata. Sometimes I’ll make Cinnamon Egg Nog French Toast if I have a bit of egg nog in the refrigerator. I love the bacon roses, might have to add those to my breakfast spread this year.
Thank you Carole, your french toast with egg nog sounds wonderful!
Merry Tuesday, Jenna! All of these dishes look scrumptious for a Christmas breakfast. I know your family will enjoy breakfast at your house!
Thank you Shannon! Merry, Merry!
The make ahead and bake off in the morning dishes are great!
Have a lovely holiday, filled with delicious food (we know it will be presented beautifully!).
Thank you Dorothy and the very same to you!
Bacon roses are cute! I might try cinnamon roll surprise! Merry Christmas!
Thanks Patti!
These all look so good. I want to try the cinnamon roll surprise first. 😀
It’s obviously easy, but it’s good! I’ve seen similar recipes done with putting a strip of cooked bacon inside the layers of the cinnamon roll but I haven’t tried that
These all look so good. I love breakfast casseroles for holiday mornings. We always have Candy Cane Coffeecakes. There is nothing peppermint about them. It is a braid of yeast bread filled with dried apricots and maraschino cherries and bent to look like a candy cane. Then iced and garnished with more cherries. It is a Betty Crocker recipe, and I make it each year with my daughter and granddaughters.
Oh that sounds delightful, what a fun tradition!
Love, love the bacon roses!
Such a fun and tasty garnish!
Your table looks gorgeous and I love using my muffin tins in all different ways! Merry Christmad
Thank you Judee! Merry Christmas!!
These look great, Jenna! Merriest to you and your family this holiday. Best wishes for a happy and safe New Year!
