Christmas Morning Breakfast Menu

With Christmas days away, I wanted to share with you a quick make ahead breakfast menu that doesn’t leave you in the kitchen while everyone else is opening presents. I have shared these recipes before, but if you are hosting family, these would be great to have on hand.

First on the list is Brunch Egg Casserole. This is what I am making for my family this year. It is quick, simple, and you can make it the night before. Plus, you can choose your meat you want to put in. I’m using sausage, but you could easily add in ham or bacon depending on what your family likes.

If syrup is more your flavor, you can make the easiest French Toast Casserole. This can also be made ahead, and popped in the oven in the morning. I like to use my homemade French bread for this and shingle the slices. (The picture I have is before I decided I liked this method.) I add a streusel topping to mine, and it is positively delightful!

If you have places to go on Christmas morning, and need something sweet, but still delicious, you can make the Easiest Sticky Buns ever! They are done in under 30 minutes, and you might not have any leftover!

These are just some simple quick options for you to be present with your family while they are opening presents. Haha!

If you do make these dishes for your family, make sure to share them with me! Tag me on Instagram, or post it to the Facebook fan page!
