Christmas Morning Menu

We have a fun & tasty Christmas morning tradition. It consists of playtime with new toys from Santa, a delicious breakfast casserole, cheese grits and an all day viewing of A Christmas Story on TBS. We extend a heartfelt invitation to all friends and family to drop in for coffee & brunch and we always welcome steady stream of visitors throughout the morning and early afternoon.

************

I only make our Christmas morning menu once a year, but I am seriously considering making it on other special occasions, too. It's just too good to only enjoy it once a year. Also, I'm adding a new recipe to our Christmas brunch this year, Amy's Banana-Chocolate Chip French Toast. CLICK HERE for the recipe.

Breakfast Casserole

• 12 eggs
• 4 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 lb bacon
• 1 lb sausage
• 8-10 pieces of bread
• 2 tsp salt

Spray large pan with Pam. Cube bread and spread in pan.

Cook bacon & sausage. Drain.

Beat eggs & milk in bowl. Add salt, cheese, bacon & sausage.

Pour mixture over bread. Cover with foil & refrigerate overnight.

Bake next day at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until thoroughly baked.

Cheese Grits

I used to fancy this recipe up with milk and maybe an egg, but now I just cook my grits according to package directions and throw in a garlic cheese roll*. Delish!

*Kraft no longer makes their garlic cheese roll (bummer!), so I plan on substituting 6 oz of Velveeta & some garlic powder.

Enjoy!
