Christmas morning deserves a special breakfast. This isn't the morning to focus on having a healthy breakfast — leave that for December 26th. Instead, eat chocolate for breakfast, make an indulgent brunch recipe you've had on your Pinterest board for ages or take advantage of seasonal flavors like cinnamon, orange and brown sugar.
1. Cinnamon Roll Wreath
Are you a houseguest this Christmas? Bring this festive display of cinnamon rolls to be sure you're asked back next year.
2. Make-Ahead Cinnamon Roll French Toast Breakfast Bake
Don't worry about spending your Christmas morning in the kitchen — prepare this delicious cinnamon roll and french toast fusion the night before for a worry-free breakfast.
3. Overnight Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Brioche makes the best French toast. Let the dough sit overnight in the refrigerator so it is easier to work with in the morning — and so you get those perfect cinnamon swirls.
4. Cinnamon Bread Pudding
The humble bread pudding often does not get enough love. Mix in chocolate chips to make this extra special and decadent enough for Christmas morning.
5. Zesty Orange Cinnamon Rolls
Citrus fruits are in season this time of year. Take advantage of them by upgrading your cinnamon rolls with an orange-filled topping.
6. Easy Overnight Pull-Apart Bread
Who has time to wait for bread to rise when there are presents to be opened? Make this dough on Christmas Eve and in less than an hour on Christmas morning, you'll have fresh pull-apart bread.
7. Roasted Strawberry Amaranth Porridge
You can have oatmeal any old morning for breakfast. Switch up your oats for creamy amaranth and top with roasted strawberries.
8. No-Rise Pâte à Choux Beignets
Up your donut game with these freshly fried beignets. You're bound to have powdered sugar left over from holiday baking and this is a great way to use it up before focusing on healthy food in January.
9. Overnight Strata
If you've hit your sweet limit this year switch up your breakfast with a savory strata. Mushrooms, spinach and bread are layered with eggs and cheese the night before and baked to perfection in 30 minutes.
10. Make-Ahead Beer and Sausage Breakfast Bake
Your family will need fuel for all the activities of Christmas. This hearty breakfast is assembled the night before and popped into the oven in the morning, leaving you free to open presents, drink a huge mug of coffee and enjoy being with the ones you love.
11. Croque Madame
Grilled cheese becomes worthy of breakfast with the addition of a fried egg and ham. This sandwich is too delicious and messy to eat with your hands so grab a fork and knife.
12. Brown Sugar and Bacon Beer Waffles
If you have a waffle maker that is collecting dust — or better yet, if you have a new waffle maker Santa delivered on Christmas morning — whip it out for these waffles that give you an excuse to open a beer before noon.
