Christmas morning brunch
I would like to make a special brunch for my family for Christmas morning. Just DH, me and the kids (2). I would like some things made the night before. What are your suggestions?? TIA
Breakfast Cheesecake
1 pkg reduced fat biscuits (8 count)
16oz lite cream cheese
2 cups sugar
2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg beaters
2 tbsp flour
cinnamon
Press biscuits into ungreased 9 in cake pan
mix cream cheese, sugar, egg, and flour
spread on top of biscuits
sprinkle w/ cinnamon
bake at 350 degrees for 30min
This is a friend's recipe - but I've had it twice at her house and it is delish! Very rich and cheesy - I would rec serving with something salty like sausage or bacon... and/or w/ fruit.
don't see why you couldn't put it together the night before and bake on Christmas morning.

We are having the blueberry French toast for Christmas morning here.
I make this, it's easy and YUMMY! You can make it the night before then pop it in the oven when you wake up.
7 slices white bread (take the crust off)
8 Eggs
1 pound mild cheddar cheese
4 cups milk
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
Canadian bacon
Dash Worcestershire
Grease a 9 X 13 pam
Take the 7 slices of bread and tear or cut them of into 1 inch cubes and place them at the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan
Grate the cheese & chop up the Canadian Bacon
Mix all ingredients together and then pour over the bread that is lining the bottom of the pan
Place in a oven at 350 for 1 – 1 ¼ hours
That’s it!! Pretty easy.
You can do regular bacon instead of Canadian, but then you have to cook the bacon first. Canadian bacon is pre-cooked.

I make the same recipe as Andi and ditto on the YUMMY and e-a-s-y! I love to make it because I don't even think about being in the kitchen and I can enjoy the morning.
I'm an past Pampered Chef gal here's one of theirs, and it looks sorta fancy
12 eggs
1/2 lb breakfast meet
2/3 c cheddar/jack cheese
2 8ct packages Pillsbury Crescent rolls
Heat oven to 325
Using large round baker (can make it long if not round)
Open rolls and unroll
lay so wide ends overlap slightly and form a wreath
Scramble eggs and mix in meat and cheese add scoop of egg mixture to middle of rolls, tuck point of rolls under wide end, should look like a wreath.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes
Can also be made with veggies.
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
