  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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!
  • These homemade Apple Fritters are easy to batch up, and would even make a sweet treat after Christmas Dinner.

  • 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.
