    Christmas Breakfast Ideas For a Group

    • Our favorite Christmas breakfast recipe is this Breakfast Casserole. It has everything you would want in a recipe all baked together. Eggs, cheddar cheese, hash browns, peppers, and sausage.
    • This Sausage Strata is the ideal dish if you’re looking to carb load! This is best fresh out of the oven, and great for a crowd because you can make it ahead of time.
    • This Beet Cured Salmon Brunch Platter is a perfect brunch platter you can prepare entirely ahead of time. Use our mini bagel recipe to get some perfectly portioned bagel bites on your platter. Serve with cream cheese or crème fraîche!

    Cinnamon Rolls – The Classic Christmas Morning Recipe with some twists!

    • Cinnamon Rolls may the quintessential Christmas morning breakfast treat, and this Cinnamon Roll Loaf is a twist on the classic. This is a cross between monkey bread and cinnamon rolls, covered in delicious icing.
    • These Strawberry Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls with a Chamomile Vanilla Glaze are one of our best Christmas breakfast ideas. We up-leveled traditional cinnamon rolls with strawberries and added some chamomile flavor to the glaze. These are so good!
    • Talk about an impressive-looking recipe. Our Browned Butter Braided Cinnamon Roll Cake is as good as it is beautiful. You can’t get much more festive than a wreath-shaped brunch recipe!!
    • We understand if you want to stick to a classic, so this Brown Butter Cinnamon Roll recipe might just be for you. Think of these as the cinnamon rolls you know and love, but with an extra flavor boost from the nutty browned butter.

    On The Sweet Side Breakfast Recipes

    • Triple Berry Bread Pudding can also be a dessert recipe, but I think it’s similar to a french toast bake that we just thought we would include it in this big list of breakfast ideas.
    • Honey Brick Toast is similar to french toast in that it’s bread soaked in an egg mixture. The difference is that the crust gets a little more crispy and the inside is very custardy. Topped with whipped cream and strawberries. This recipe is so good!
    • Meyer Lemon and Ricotta Stuffed Crepes are such a fun dish that would make a perfect tradition everyone will love.
    • These homemade Apple Fritters are easy to batch up, and would even make a sweet treat after Christmas Dinner.

    • Our Chocolate Chip and Coconut Banana Bread is a quick bread recipe that is great to just have on tap for the morning. We love snacking on it while waiting for the main meal to be prepared.
    • These Streusel Acorn Squash Muffins are really flavorful and a perfect Christmas morning treat. We love that you can make a day ahead!
    • Scones are a delicious baked treat to have coffee. Our Cranberry and Orange Scones have such good flavor and we love the brightness cranberries give these treats.

    Family Friendly Egg Dishes

    • Our Baked Egg Boats are one of our signature brunch recipes. Think of these like soup in a bread bowl, but swap the soup for a quiche. These are so delicious, and a very simple and easy dish.
    • Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes are so good. A great recipe for families, and easily modifiable if you’re working with some allergies. With easy ingredients, this dish can be prepped ahead so it will be easy to finish off in the morning.
    • These Breakfast Scramble Stuffed Avocados are the perfect recipe. They require simple ingredients and take only 15 minutes to prepare.
