Christmas Breakfast Menu

If you’re serving a crowd on Christmas morning (or just a hungry family), casseroles are the way to go. Coffeecake, breakfast casserole and hash brown casserole all make our list of the best recipes for Christmas morning. The best part is that they can all be made the night before.

Coffeecake

Here’s the recipe.

This recipe for coffeecake is the best – you can make it on Christmas Eve and pop it in the oven on Christmas morning. No “taking a break from opening stockings” required!
