    Christmas Breakfast? And if so what is your menu?

    Mine is Baked Cheese Crepes with Raspberry Sauce, Bacon, and hot cocoa or coffee for me!

    Our breakfast menu changes each year - but it is always something extra special!

    Traditionally there is no cooking on Christmas day since there is always a ton of leftover food from the night before. Everyone would get up (or arrive) at their own schedule and just grab what they wanted if they were hungry. Christmas Day is always Santa and the kids. Adults usually sit off to the side and gossip if it is quiet enough.

    This year I had a cheese danish and smoked sausage and OJ here at work, Cathy. When I'm home I like making a baked sour-apple/sausage/cheddar strata...

    Default French Toast Brulee

    French Toast Brulee

    1/2 cup unsalted butter
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons corn syrup
    6 (1 inch thick) slices French bread
    5 eggs
    1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon orange brandy
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar
    and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a 9x13
    inch baking dish.

    Remove crusts from bread, and arrange in the baking dish in a single
    layer. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla
    extract, orange brandy, and salt. Pour over the bread. Cover, and
    chill at least 8 hours, or overnight.

    Preheat oven to 350F. Remove the dish from the refrigerator, and
    bring to room temperature. Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes in the
    preheated oven, until puffed and lightly browned.
