Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole

by Marie on December 23, 2008

Here’s what we’re having on Christmas Morning, Egg & Sausage Breakfast Casserole. Using Italian Sausage gives it an extra kick. I prep it the night before and pop it in the oven just before the kiddies wake up. It will be ready to eat right after we open our stockings. I love this recipe for the casserole from Simply Recipes (pictured below).

Oh Yum! I was looking for a good breakfast casserole recipe for a family brunch the day after Christmas! This is it!! Not sure what we’re doing for breakfast on Christmas yet, maybe cinnamon buns….

This is my favorite thing to make on Christmas morning. And so easy too since you can prep the night before.

Yum – that looks delish. This year we’re having cinnamon rolls, sausage and eggs. I’m using this cinnamon roll recipe which is -hands down- the best I’ve ever tasted. I think it’s the pudding mix in the dough…

My kids requested #11′s this year for Christmas breakfast. Hashbrowns sprinkled with Mrs. Dash and cheese, strips of bacon on top of that and a fried egg to finish it off, yummy!

When I lived at home, my dad made egg & sausage burritos on Christmas morning. I miss those–I guess I could make them myself, but it wouldn’t be the same!

We’ve done pancakes in the past but this year I am making a french toast casserole. It has cream cheese and a sweet syrup. You use slices of french bread. Yummm!

I’m almost more excited about the food than the presents. I love the french toast casserole idea! And the cinnamon rolls too!

We started having breakfast burritos when the kids were small. It is now a tradition that they won’t let me change. It’s nice to have traditions :)

Robin – so funny how important traditions are in our family too. I love your burrito breakfast.

This Girl – I think my family should switch to eating Summer food instead, even though we are in knee deep in Winter. Maybe it will help our snow melt!

In the past, I’ve done Monkey Bread (what Molly described above) for Christmas breakfast, but the idea of something sweet didn’t appeal to my MIL or me. So, this year, I did my Bisquick breakfast casserole. Super easy and delish!

I like to make overnight creme brule french toast and have a ham and lots of sausage, muffins-both english and american, lots of homemade jams and marmalade, coffe, tea and hot chockie of course. People eat while they open presents. And we start with orange blossom drinks – orange juice, vodka and grenadine, sugared to taste if need be.
