I love Christmas morning. There is something magical with it, especially if you have children. I enjoy getting up while it’s still dark outside and admiring the lights and decorations in our home. More importantly, I like to take things slow and savor every moment. Here are three easy Christmas breakfast ideas I enjoy making to support my vision of a perfect Christmas morning.
Easy Christmas breakfast ideas
1- Eggs breakfast casserole
Eggs-based casseroles are arguably the most traditional options. They are easy to put together and can be prepared ahead of time. Most of them serve many people and can even be reheated as lunch.
I appreciate the versatility that comes with a breakfast casserole. It’s easy to change the meat or skip it and add veggies to it if you’d like.
Recommendation: My go-to breakfast casserole is the Amish breakfast casserole by “All Things Mamma.
This casserole is SO good! I like to make this casserole the night before and store it overnight in the refrigerator. In the morning, all I have to do and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes, and voila! You have a delicious and filling breakfast for the entire family.
2 – Breakfast charcuterie board
A breakfast charcuterie board may sound fancy, but it is a quick and easy option. It’s a matter of putting all sorts of breakfast food together in an appealing way and allowing everyone to help themselves to whatever sounds good.
There are many types of food to choose from when creating your board. Here are some ideas.
- Bread, bagels, muffins, pastries, donuts, waffles, or pancakes
- Grapes, berries, bananas, oranges, or other fruits you like
- Cheese, yogurt, or fruit dip
- Bacon, sausage, smoked salmon, hard-boiled eggs, or charcuterie meat
- Nuts, granola, sirup, jam, or nut butter
This may seem like a more complicated Christmas breakfast, but it doesn’t have to be. You can still prepare most of your items the night before. For example, wash all the fruits in advance or hard-boil the eggs a few days early. You can pre-cook your bacon and simply warm it up on Christmas morning. Even the pancakes and waffles can be made ahead and warmed up the day of. Ultimately, you are just left with assembling your board on Christmas morning.
3- French toast casserole
There is something so cozy about a good french toast casserole. With its warm filling bread and spicy cinnamon flavor, a french toast casserole is the perfect easy Christmas breakfast idea.
Recommendation: The delicious overnight French Toast Bake from Lil’ Luna.
This casserole comes together in less than 15 minutes. After staying in the refrigerator overnight, it will cook for 45 minutes to an hour on Christmas morning while you are enjoying your family and traditions.
In conclusion
This year, give yourself the gift of a slow, relaxed, and joyful Christmas morning. Make it happen by choosing one of the above easy Christmas breakfast ideas. Each is delicious, easy, and versatile. You will find yourself repeating them for many years to come.
Bon apetit!
