Christmas Holiday Breakfast Inspiration!

December 24, 2015 by Joy the Baker 11 Comments

the vacationers the leftovers to rise again
one more thing mr & mrs glasses ny notebook

 

We’ve got a long weekend of love and holiday ahead of us.  I’m headed back to Los Angeles for a very very very brief visit, during which time, I’m hoping my dad will make some really great Christmas breakfast because I’ve been on a weird tuna-fish binge the past few days.  I get on food kicks and eat one food consistently until I can’t stand it anymore.  This week it’s been tuna.  Yea… it’s been as sexy as it sounds over here at apartment JtB.  

I hope you enjoy some quality friend and family time the next few days.  I hope mornings are lazy, pajamas are festive, and coffee is plentiful.  I hope there is no tuna. 

Here’s some breakfast inspiration for the weekend.  I’m also working on a Winter reading list!  Lots of good vibes and love comin’ and goin’.  

Merry Christmas!

Quick and Dirty Espresso Cinnamon Rolls  I love that this isn’t a GIANT batch of cinnamon rolls.  Sometimes six is enough.  They’re quick to come together and zippy with espresso.  Think of how fast you’ll open your Christmas presents.  I’m imagining cartoon Tazmanian Devil, are you?

Blueberry Buttermilk Waffles  Why would you pancake when you can waffle?  No flipping, fewer flops, and waffle holes designed specifically for maple syrup and blueberries! 

Sausage Cheddar and Grits Frittata  Grits inside our eggs!  If you have leftover polenta from Christmas… or even mashed potatoes, dollop them into a frittata and bake!  Add cheese always. 

Gluten-free and Gluten-full Zucchini Pistachio Bread  With gluten and without, these loaves are moist, nutty, spiced and absolutely delicious.  

Cinnamon Sugar Popovers  These gems are like light and doughy donuts without all of the trouble of making and frying donuts.  It’s the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar that makes these warm bread bites irresistible.  

Roasted Potato Galette with Cheddar and Chive  Christmas weekend is totally the time to stack carbs on top of carbs.  Potato inside of buttery crust plus cheese and chives.  Not a thing wrong with this goodness!

Have a beautiful holiday!  

More soon,

xo J

    Last night I baked a loaf of your honey cranberry cornmeal bread, so I could eat slices for breakfast through the holiday weekend. So good! Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you!

    Yummy! The cinnamon rolls are to die for. Have you ever made Edelweiss? It’s a sweet, kind of yeasty dough rolled over sweet butter filling, sliced almonds, and cranberries, then sliced like cinnamon rolls. Thanks for the ideas!
    Merry Christmas!

    Christmas breakfast for us is drawn out and slow. Lots of snacking of little bites between presents. Cinnamon rolls and coffee cake are a must. Merry Christmas!

Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared pan with grated cheese in two spots.  Pour boiling water over the baking soda and float each bagel in the water for 20 or so seconds.  Use a slotted spot or spatula to transfer the bagels on top of the cheese.  Brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle with more cheese and everything bagel seasoning. ⁣⁣

Bake for 20 - 22 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and smearing with cream cheese.
