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!
