Christmas Morning Breakfasts

  • Holiday Brunch Favorites

    Ideal for holiday brunches, our recipes include creative variations on those all-times favorites—pancakes, French toast and eggs. Sticky toffee filled pancakes, inspired by the classic British dessert known as sticky toffee pudding, are drizzled with a rich toffee sauce. We put a holiday spin on French toast by preparing it with the sweet Italian Christmas bread known as panettone. And our home skillet frittata, crowned with a crispy bacon lattice, is sure to delight egg lovers.

  • Make-Ahead Breakfast

    Mornings can become busy over the holidays, when friends and family are visiting, but a little preparation can go a long way. The dishes below are simple to make ahead, so you can relax, sit down at the table and catch up with loved ones. Bread dough may be frozen and thawed; casseroles can be refrigerated overnight until ready to bake.

  • Holiday Brunch

    Celebrate the season by inviting friends and family to enjoy a festive brunch in your home. The aroma of fresh-brewed coffee and just-baked coffee cake will entice everyone into the kitchen. And don’t hesitate to ask your guests to lend a hand—this will only add to the fun and convivial spirit. Some can prepare the spritzers and slice the grapefruit, while others cook the shirred eggs and sausage.

    As you’re planning the gathering, keep this work plan in mind:

    At least one day in advance:
    Juice the citrus

    The morning of the breakfast:
    Bake the coffee cake

    Just before serving:
    Make the spritzers
    Broil the grapefruit
    Grill the toast
    Bake the sausages
    Cook the eggs
