Light Christmas Breakfast Recipes/Ideas?

Question

Does anyone have some breakfast or brunch recipes they'd like to share that they have every Christmas? I'm looking for something that isn't too heavy, but still delicious!

Answer 1

Broccoli Quiche
8 oz frozen chopped broccoli (thawed)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs
3/4 cup bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup milk
dash of pepper
--Cover the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate and top with the chopped onion and then the cheddar cheese. In a bowl, combine the eggs, baking mix, milk, and pepper. Pour in a spiral motion over the cheese starting from the outside going in (this allows the pie to bake evenly). Bake from 25 to 35 minutes at 400 degrees. *Other additions are mushrooms, bacon, sausage, etc.*

Merry Christmas!
Enjoy!

Answer 2

Healthy breakfast scramble. Here's a link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_33518,00.html

I thought this recipe looked good, and you can add different vegetables (mushrooms, red or green pepper, spinach, etc), lean ham, or a little big of turkey bacon, and some low fat cheddar cheese. Also, I would take the dill out of the recipe because some people don't like dill and it's better not to take the risk. Serve with some whole wheat bread that has some avocado slices on it for creaminess rather than butter, or some low fat cream cheese. Also add some fresh fruit on the side.

Answer 4

Cinnamon French Toast!
Use the refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Easy
Melt half a stick of butter in a glass baking dish. Cut the cinnamon rolls into eight pieces and line the buttered pan. Mix 6 eggs, 1/2 C of cream, cinnamon, and maple syrup, chopped pecans and pour over the rolls. Bake at 375, for about 40 minutes. Check on it, edges will turn brown fast. Cut and serve with bacon, the packaged frosting, and a little more syrup.

Answer 5

Our family tradition is to make sausage cheese balls and sausage pinwheels. These are bite-size and very good.

Sausage cheese balls:
1 pound sausage (I use Jimmy Dean medium to spicy sausage)
2 cups of cheddar cheese
2 cups of Bisquick
Seasonings: garlic, salt, pepper, and any other you choose

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, then take spoonfuls and roll into balls. Place on a baking sheet and bake until brown and bubbly.

Sausage Pinwheels:
1 pound sausage
1 can of biscuits

On a floured surface roll out biscuits into one large piece. Spread sausage over the top. Roll it up like a jelly roll. Bake in oven until brown.

Answer 6

I was going to suggest also a quiche. But, make your own pie crust, brush it with egg white, pierce it, then put in your meat (ham, sausage, whatever you want to use), chives, shredded swiss cheese, and then put in your milk and egg mixture. Serve that with a bowl of mixed fruit. Not too heavy and not too much food. You can add any veggie to it you would like or even make it pure veggies - spinach is always good in a quiche.

Answer 7

We like to do fruit smoothies- take vanilla yogurt, milk, and frozen or fresh fruit, toss it all into a blender and presto! It's very yummy, has tons of calcium, vitamins and minerals, and quiets your sweet tooth all at the same time.

Answer 8

Our family tradition is simple - ham on toast.
