Every Christmas morning, my family gathers at my parents house to exchange presents and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Preparing breakfast for 11 people is no small feat, especially when there are kids running around and everyone is gathering by the tree to open presents, but my Mom has her system down pat, and it's all about the prep.
The key to a great Christmas breakfast without spending your morning in the kitchen is choosing recipes that allow you to get most, if not all, of the prep done the day before. These are some great recipe options that you can start the afternoon before, keep in the fridge overnight and pop in the oven on Christmas morning just in time for breakfast.
The gingerbread muffins can actually be baked and glazed the day before. Just cover them with plastic wrap to keep them fresh for the next morning. I highly recommend the French Toast Bread Pudding from Ina Garten. This easy recipe has been a breakfast and brunch staple of my Mom's for years and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
