What to make for Christmas Morning Breakfast

[4MCMICKEY]

I have been having the in laws over for several years for Christmas morning where we have breakfast. I am running out of different ideas. We have done breakfast pizza, egg casserole, buffet style with scrambled eggs, pancakes, muffins and sausage....

What do you fix special for Christmas morning?

I make homemade cinnamon rolls ahead of time and then pop them in to heat up after the presents are opened!

We developed a tradition of going to my mom's for biscuits and gravy on Christmas morning. My son and I head over there still in our PJs.

When I got married, I carried over my own family's Christmas morning tradition. We have fried chicken (soaked overnight in buttermilk), gravy and biscuits. The only problem we have is that nobody makes biscuits, so we have to resort to the frozen kind.

Cherry Cheese souffle. It is amazing! No cherries in surprisingly. It is made with Cherry Courmandine cheese, white bread, and milk. It is super creamy and you put syrup on it. It is my favorite! We don't always make it though because the cheese is very hard to find.

We always do this creme brulee french toast which is much like a french toast casserole. Just make it the day before and pop it in the oven that morning. It is sooooo yummy! Everyone loves this Cristmas morning tradition!

Recipe (from Allrecipes.com)

Creme Brulee French Toast

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
6 (1 inch thick) slices white bread (french, challah etc.)
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon brandy-based orange liqueur (Grand Marnier®, optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt


DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Remove crusts from bread, and arrange in the baking dish in a single layer. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, orange brandy, and salt. Pour over the bread. Cover, and chill at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the dish from the refrigerator, and bring to room temperature.
Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until puffed and lightly browned

This is my favorite dish to make for breakfast entertaining. It is Swiss bacon hashbrown. Its very yummy and I make it the day before and just bake it at the last minute.

2 bags of frozen shredded potatoes (hashbrowns)
1 lg. sweet onion, chopped
1 lb. bacon cooked and cut into bite size pieces
2 cups of shredded swiss cheese
butter and veggie oil
salt and pepper or season salt

In a large skillet saute onions in a little butter until lightly browned, then set aside. In the same skillet cook the potatoes in a little butter and oil until they are browned, you will have to do this in batches or use a couple of pans. Add salt and pepper or season salt to taste. After they are cooked place the potatoes in a large rectangle casserole dish. Gently combine them with the onions and spread into an even layer. Next arrange bacon pieces on top the potatoes, cover and refrigerate. When you are ready to finish and serve, preheat oven a 350 then cook for 15 minutes, top with cheese and cook for 5-10 minutes longer to melt cheese.
