Christmas Breakfast

[tenny80]

I am having a few friends over for brunch on Christmas day and looking for some ideas? Something that I could prep ahead of time and not take to much involvement to cook would be perfect.

Smoked Salmon is always a hit, and you can do that ahead of time!

Yes, smoked salmon is a great idea, and versatile too! You can slice it thicker and serve alone with other meats & cheeses, serve it sliced thinly with bagels, make a spread with it & cream cheese...


Sausage balls are always good for brunches or parties. You can mix them up ahead of time and bake as your guests arrive so they're hot & fresh.

Little smoked sausages braised in some BBQ sauce always seem to be a hit.


These were awfully good too:

OK... I'll stop so others can chime in too.

Breakfast casserole

Here's a repost of one of my favorites for breakfast. To shorten prep time you can smoke the sausage ahead of time or use pre-cooked sausage.

7 pieces of bread, cubed
1 dozen eggs
2 cups milk
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 dozen uncooked breakfast sausages
salt, pepper, hot pepper mix (cayennes/habanero)

The night before I smoked the sausages at 225 for about an hour and a half.

Dusted off the smoker, the first of an expected 7-10 inches of frozen sunshine has started to fall...

While the smoker preheats to 350, spray the baking dish with pam or coat with your favorite release agent, spread the bread, combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour on top.

Cooks for an hour or so, test with toothpick or fork.

Ready to eat!
