Christmas Brunch

Posted by Kim on Dec. 25, 2008

Most people rave about Christmas dinner, spending all morning and all afternoon preparing a delicious turkey, duck, ham, etc. Snacking throughout the day, tasting your various dishes at their different stages of preparation can be rewarding and delicious, but why don’t you treat yourself (and perhaps even your dozens of relatives) to a delicious brunch or breakfast?? As the most important meal of the day, it’ll provide you with the energy you need to last the basting, baking, stuffing, and kneading. NY Times has provided a list of possible Christmas breakfast/brunch recipes.

Here’s my favorite (that didn’t make the cut), provided by Paula Deen (yes, beware — it is not for the faint of heart). It’s a Baked French Toast Casserole. I’ve made it for the past few holiday brunches and it is DELICIOUS — you should start it the night before, but if you wake up early enough, you can prepare and stick it in the refrigerator for a noonish/early afternoon brunch. Or it could even be a special way to start your post-Christmas morning. Happy Holidays and Happy Eating!!

  • What an interesting dish. It sounds very unorthodox, but I'll take your word on its flavor. I've added it to my list of things I should cook :)

    Happy Holidays!
    I have made this recipe before and agree it is delicious and easy - very important for me as I am not a cook. This was very simple to make and it won everyone over!
