Christmas morning breakfast?

[SDFgirl]

Do you have something traditional that you eat on Christmas morning? If so, what is it?

Now that DH and I have a little family of our own, I want to start a tradition of making something like monkey bread on Christmas morning. Looking for ideas...!

my kids love those Sister Shuberts Rolls with the sausage inside
I make those and cheese grits

I know -it doesn't sound very exciting

 

[mickeyboat]

We do monkey bread and a breakfast casserole (sausage and eggs).

MMMM...I love those! Somebody threw me a bridal shower brunch and served those, and I had to force myself not to eat 20!

We just have cinnamon rolls, usually the Pillsbury kind. We open stockings and presents from Santa while they are cooking, then eat and then open presents from the family.

Cereal. Or I may get ambitious and cook up some scrambled eggs.

My mom makes a breakfast casserole with eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and cheese, and then topped with salsa. On the side we have strawberries.

We make breakfast lasagna, homemade sausage, and shrimp omelets. Sometimes I do monkey bread, and other times- a coffee cake.

My mother was from Virginia and it was their tradition to have ham, biscuits, and oyster stew. Our generation (and then the next one) didn't have the affinity for oyster stew like the elders.

Breakfast casserole. I like it because I make it the night before and then just put it in the oven before we open gifts. Here's the recipe:

Breakfast Quiche

8 slices of bread, crusts removed
1 lb breakfast meat (bacon or sausage—fried and crumbled or diced ham or Smokey Links)
1 – 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 dozen eggs
1 tablespoon of salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup milk
1 small can diced green chile

Butter both sides of bread and place in the bottom of a 9x13 pan sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Sprinkle cheese over bread. Spread meat over cheese.

In a bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, salt, dry mustard, and green chile. Mix well with eggs. Pour over bread, cheese, and meat—evenly distributing throughout pan.

Cover and place in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

Egg nog french toast. Instead of using eggs we use egg nog and dip the home made bread in it.

We do breakfast casserole with ham, eggs, cheese, bread and broccoli. I make it the day before and it sits overnight in the fridge. All I have to do is pop it in the oven the next moring. So easy and YUMMM.

Oh, that sounds good.

We used to go to my grandma's for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.
but since grandma passed away, we now eat whatever is around, cereal, bagels.

And we do a HUGE dinner.

Strada and homemade cinnamon rolls. I only make it for Christmas and Easter.

Christmas brunch is one of my favorite Christmas traditions in our family. We have monkey bread, fruit salad, breakfast casserole (made with sausage, cheese, grits, etc.), and some other tasty treats. Sometimes we also get a Chick-fil-A nugget tray the day before and use the Sister Schubert rolls to make our own chicken minis like they serve at Chick-fil-A. Yum!

We do a breakfast strata similar to the one NMAmy posted. I'll look for the recipe and post it later. It's so great being able to make it the night before.
