What do you eat for Breakfast on Christmas morning?

[jillywilly]

We just do plain old cinnamon rolls - pop them out of the tube and into the oven. And I'll probably also have fresh fruit to go with it. But that's kind of our go-to holiday breakfast treat, and since we basically gorge the rest of the day anyway (especially once we get to MIL's house, she'll have food out from the second we get there until we leave), I don't bother with making anything super fancy/huge. It's also just our little family of three on Christmas morning, so it's not like we're cooking for other family, anyway.

We always have:

Funeral Potatoes
Scrambled Eggs
Sausage Patties
Biscuits and Gravy
Banana's Foster French Toast Casserole (assembled night before): recipe

[veggiemo]

My mom made an everything bagel casserole for Thanksgiving breakfast. I'm not sure if this is the exact one she used but here is an example:

We don't do a specific breakfast on Christmas mornings (except, always mimosas), but I'm totally going to try out that Banana's Foster French Toast recipe mrsdee1982 ! Yummm I love Banana's Foster French Toast!

ETA: Recipe link isn't working for me, so I'm off to google...

We usually eat Kringle and fresh fruit on Christmas morning! We've substituted monkey bread on occasion. Always with egg nog as kids. Now I will usually spike my coffee with something delicious!

I make it the night before and put it in the oven Christmas morning. (I use challah instead of French bread)

This is really speaking to me right now. I love everything bagels.

It was really good, although the bagels she used were very fresh and soft. I think something chewier might have been better, or let the other ones get a day or two old. But it was still very good!

I am going to try a breakfast lasagna I saw. I'll try to track down the recipe in a bit. We also have cinnamon rolls and LOTS of coffee.

This is exactly what we do! I did buy my H bacon.

We switch it up each year, but I'm thinking having a tradition might be fun too. This year is breakfast casserole- sausage, hash browns, and cheese are the major components. I'll make it the day before and then throw in the oven to heat while we open presents:)

Same here. Although now I'm inspired to do French toast.

I actually printed the bananas foster french toast recipe. Even if it doesn't get made Christmas morning, there are 11 other vacation day breakfasts I need to fill!

I was planning on an egg casserole (then we can have left overs to eat for part of the week) but found out that SIL is requesting the traditional "Christmas breakfast" for dinner on Christmas Eve (when we will be celebrating with the small immediate IL family.)
So now I'm thinking just cinnamon rolls and maybe some fruit.

[jessila]

I've decided that monkey bread will be my tradition because easy and delicious.
H requested an egg bake loaf that his mom made one time? My mom requested fun, festive pancakes. So...I'll figure something out.

[ashbash]

We usually do the hashbrown/egg/cheese casserole but we are trying something new this year per my Moms request. I dont have the recipe but its an overnight pot roast then in the morning serve it over fried potatoes and eggs like a hash

[periwinkledaydreams]

veggiemo def going to do that everything bagel bake, plus fresh fruit/berries and mimosas!

+1 to the cinnamon bun in a can plan. It's the only day of the year we have them, so it's a special treat. I think Annie's has some so I may splurge on those.

If I had time I would totally do this thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/cinnamon-baked-french-toast/
It's absolutely delicious but I'm always wrapping Christmas Eve and we have a big meal that I make on Christmas Eve too.

stcyct We had the Annie's brand for Thanksgiving morning breakfast. They are worth the splurge.

I'm happy to hear this. My grocery store was out of the Pillsbury Grands, so it was Annie's, because I'm certainly not making the smaller "regular size" rolls on Christmas.

Provisions for bananas foster French toast were also bought. That might happen Christmas Eve morning, since I (should) have more time the night before to put it together.

My mom usually did cinnamon rolls - she and my grandma make them from grandma's pie crust.
This year will be whatever MIL makes because plans are crazy with Christmas being on Sunday.

[Widget123]

My mom is the queen of breakfast casseroles so I anticipate that I will be eating them for a week straight at her house. Also, we tend to be out pretty late at the in-laws on Christmas eve. So for Christmas morning I will do something easy like cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit.

I am doing cinnamon rolls this year, but our tradition growing up was always Christmas Crunch (cap'n crunch with Christmas tree shapes). It was the only time of year we got sugary cereal and it was nocleannup for my mom. Minimal cleanup is my only requirement of Christmas breakfast.

I kind of love this last idea. LBB keeps begging for Lucky Charms...and getting Cheerios. I'm going to look for a box to bring with us and they can have it at the hotel before we go over to the in-laws.

I'd love to make this but I'm wondering if it has an "eggy" taste? I cannot eat eggs or even French toast that tastes eggy so I'm unsure. I was thinking monkey bread so maybe I'll do that with the bananas on top.

Are you all eating lunch after the Christmas breakfast? Like a fancy Christmas meal?

This is how we do it, regular breakfast if hungry 'cause Christmas Eve the night before, and then elaborate Christmas meal that lasts until 4pm, lol.

This is part of why our Christmas breakfast won't be a huge feast. We'll eat cinnamon rolls around 7:30 (well depending on when C wakes for the morning and I can get them cooking in the oven.) We do our small family of 3 Christmas stuff until around 10/10:30 then start getting ready to head to my moms. There we'll eat ham, heart attack potatoes and all kinds of other sides. We have to leave my moms by 3 so we can be at DHs aunts house with our dish to pass before they start eating, they eat at 4. I doubt DH or I will eat much there. I'll make sure C has something to eat for his dinner.

No lunch. We go over to my SIL's sister's house around 2 in the afternoon and do late lunch/early dinner around 3.

+1 to cinnamon rolls from the can. And coffee. Lots of coffee.They are delicious and easy, so, win-win. I will do a quiche and fresh fruits or something a bit nicer for New Years Day- also because my parents will be here

I've never noticed an eggy taste.

Waffles!

[periwinkledaydreams]

The bacon egg and cheese everything bagel bake was a huge hit! (thanks veggiemo) We ended up making cinnamon buns too, plus fresh berries and mimosas. I'll be happy if this becomes our "thing"
