What is Your Christmas breakfast Menu?

[WheelCEO]

i usually wake up around 11 or 12, so w/e is in my freezer

I have always made up pans of cinnamon rolls unbaked and put in the freezer. I have given these to freinds, neighbors and co workers with a note (all fancy from the computer) attached to take out Christmas eve to thaw and rise and then bake Christmas morning. They are always a huge hit. I have a favorite recipe, but any cinnamon roll recipe will be great as I have done many. I save a pan for us as well and serve with bacon or sausage, sliced fruits, hot chocolate and of course coffee for me! When my Dad was alive and visited I also made a breakfast casserole. DH would probably balk at the Paula Deen recipe as he is always on a health kick! LOL!

Everytime we visit WDW we have Cherry turnovers and cinnamon rolls for breakfast at MK and DHS, sooooooo every year for Christmas I make the same thing for our breakfast. This is the ONLY time of the year that we have them.

It takes us right back to Main Street USA!!!

I always say that I'm going to make something really nice, but then I remember the mess that goes along with it

We always allow the kids to open up their stockings first while the breakfast is baking, then we eat and clean up and then open the presents. That way X-mas is not over in 10 seconds flat!!!

We have a large Christmas morning breakfast at our home with both sets of grandparents and both of my sisters/families coming over. We all have breakfast together and then its into the family room for gifts. We always have scrambled eggs, homemade hashbrowns, sausage, bacon and something sweet. This year our homemade sweet will be my new favorite recipe - warm sticky bun bread pudding. YUM! A little piece of heaven on earth.

I do a big breakfast on Christmas. Scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon,biscuits and sausage gravy.

 

[SomePixiedust]

Scrambled eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, hash browns, croissants and baked oatmeal. We have quite a crowd, I'm thinking of adding Paula's french toast and I'm loving the idea of Mimosas!

My DS(7) insists on orange cinnamon rolls. One year I made them on Christmas morning. A few months later I made them again. He came downstairs and said "Ahhh..... it smells like Christmas."

We have toasted pannetone with fresh berries, cherries mangos and cream with a glass of champagne.

It's summer in australia so the fruit is lovely and chances are it will be hot enough to have a post brekkie swim before starting to organise lunch.

We always have bagels with cream cheese, lox, and cucumbers. Also, fresh fruit salad and assorted nuts. And coffee. Breakfast is traditional (the same every year) but not very fancy. We do get really good lox though--I only eat it once a year, but always look forward to that.

When I was growing up outside of Kalamazoo MI, there was an amazing little donut shop that we'd go to on Christmas Eve and get a dozen donuts and we'd sit on the couch Christmas morning, eating our donuts and watching the Disney parade - now I live in Phoenix, and there aren't any good donut shops around here! So I make homemade cinnamon rolls (prep & get it all ready the night before, put in the fridge so I just slice them and bake them when I get up) that we sit on the floor in the family room and eat while we watch the parade.... My daughter is only 2, so she isn't to the point of insisting on opening presents right away, or waking up super early out of excitement!

My parents come to our house mid-morning and always bring the most amazing gingerbread muffins filled with cream cheese frosting.

Is there any way you could post your mom's recipe? That sound like something I would absolutely LOVE!

Christmas morning is the one morning all year we have pillsbury cinnamon rolls. Then I do try and get some eggs into the kids while they are playing

 

[kt_mom]

I make a breakfast strata with bacon, eggs cheese and half and half poured over bread and refridgerated overnight. Then I usually get up before DD and put it in the oven so its just about done when she gets up.

We do Santa gifts first because they are sitting out unwrapped under the tree. Then we fix breakfast and eat while we open gifts.

I also make her monkey bread and I may try the paula deen recipe this year or the blueberry one from earlier in the thread. Both sound wonderful.

I'd love to try something along the lines of a bread pudding or banana french toast type of thing. But not sure yet.

And we always have mimosas.

I love orange cinnamon rolls! I haven't had them in forever. I might have to buy some.

Since DH is usually gone during the workweek by the time I eat breakfast, we enjoy being able to eat breakfast together. DH eats Special K while I get cheese toast with Diet Coke. I know real exciting but it works for us.

 

[ugadog99]

We always have breakfast casserole, home made cheese danish, and mixed citrus fruit. It's always served with lots of coffee and spiced hot cider.

 

[mom2t]

Eggs, gravy, country ham, tenderloin, biscuits, cooked apples and my favorite Moravian sugar cake from Dewey's bakery (a family tradition) - have it in the freeze to thaw for Christmas morning

I enjoy reading about everyones Christmas traditions. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast?

A few years ago dh was out on Christmas Eve day and picked up some cinnamon crunch bagels and a container of cream cheese from Panera Bread. We had it on Christmas morning with OJ, coffee and milk..... soooo yummy! It has now become our tradition. Then we head over to my in-laws for a large brunch.

My family doesnt do Christmas dinner we do brunch! Its around noon after gifts and we love it. Everyone wears there pj's and we have: egg souffle, cheesy hash brown casserole, toasted english muffins and OJ. We love it! The most recent addition to the menu is 100% Kona Coffee. If you dont know its the best coffee on earth! Harvested in hawaii and very expensive so its a real treat for xmas.

I have honey clusters. I think I have been eating them since I was able to eat food.

They are a Christmas thing my family makes-fried small dough balls with honey & non-parels on them plus slivered almonds. The honey gets heated so it thins & then mixed on it.

My son will probably eat cereal or a pop tart. My 2 dtrs might eat what I am eating & my dh needs to eat Raisin Bran because I have lots of boxes because he always complains he doesn't get any when I buy it. Now I have alot of it he needs to eat it!

Sorry, she picks them up at an amazing little bakery near their house, the Gingerbread Construction Company. I checked to see if they had the recipes online and they don't, but they do have pictures...so yummy! http://gingerbreadusa.com/muffins.html
