What does your family love? Make that.

We've had Mexican-theme breakfasts the past few years including
fresh fruit salad
breakfast burritos
tamales

Other years we've had things like
French toast made with Portuguese or Hawaiian sweet bread,
my husband's grandmother's recipe bread with diced candied
citron and orange,
my father's peasant bread with cubes of ham and Portuguese
sausage baked in.
eggs Benedict
etc. etc. etc.

How old are the kids (assumption on my part)? What's going to be eaten
later on and when? Maybe toast, juice, coffeecake (I love the Sara Lee
thing, the name of which I can't remember right now), coffee, cocoa
would be sufficient and low hassle if the kids are going to be all
excited about a visit from S. Claus.

Waffles topped with strawberries, ice cream and chocolate sauce. Coffee

Fast, easy and yummy. Dessert for breakfast. Your kids will freak!

We never make anything special. Pancakes, waffles <my
waffle iron is the Belgium kind>... add a couple of eggs,
bacon or sausage - or biscuits (from a can) and gravy (the
real deal).

I usually make a French Toast breakfast on Christmas morning; this year I will
be in South Carolina and staying in a motel room while I'm home and won't get
to cook it. I like to use the thicker "Texas Toast" for French Toast, let it
sit out all night and get stale, and make up bacon, sausage, hash browns, the
works. The good thing about French Toast on Christmas morning is that the
leftovers can be used with leftover ham and turkey to make Monte Cristo
sandwiches.

That's what I made LAST year! Only since it's a French-Hawaiian hybrid, I
called it "Tahitian Toast".

I expect to be by myself this Christmas Eve and Christmas (due to an
unfortunate work schedule), so I might just do something plain-but-special,
like broiled grapefruit with brown sugar, and maybe scrambled eggs with
smoked salmon and cream cheese. Those aren't everyday fare for me, so the
day gets special status without a whole lot of effort.

We usually have scrambled eggs, side bacon, peameal bacon and a coffee cake
made with the recipe in the children's version of the Better Homes and Gardens
cook book. My son loves that coffee cake and thought that it wasn't Christmas
the year we didn't have it.

One thing we do not have is a Champagne breakfast. We did that one year. I
don't know why we ever though Champagne would go with scrambled eggs.

Chile Relleno Casserole

1 ˝ lbs. Monterey Jack Cheese (Grated)
1 ˝ lbs. Cheddar Cheese (Grated)
2 large cans Whole Ortega Chiles
12 Eggs (Separated)
6 Tbsp. Flour
1 Cup Evaporated Milk


(THIS RECIPE MAKES ONE 9 x 13 and ONE 8 X 8 DISH)

Spray bottom of baking pans with PAM to prevent sticking problems for cheese

1. Pull apart chiles into strips and layer half into bottom
of two 9 x 13 pans and cover with half the cheese.
Repeat with other half of chiles and cheese.
(At this point, you may want to cover and refrigerate
until ready to bake, or freeze until ready to bake.)
2. Beat egg whites with a fork until frothy.
3. Beat egg yolks with flour and milk, then add to egg
whites.
4. Pour evenly over cheese and chiles.
5. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until light golden
brown on top.

Dave, you might want to try mimosas instead of straight champagne.

I like having waffles with strawberries for Christmas. Use real maple
syrup. We might fry a little ham with it. I have this nice
Portuguese porcelein coffee cup to make drinking the every day brew
more special.

I agree that it should be whatever you really like to eat.

I think a neat idea would be a fancy frittata, sp?, they're a one pot
dish, a little rustic, you can add what you have, basically, and
they're a treat (unless you eat frittatas a lot...).

Something that seems difficult but can be fairly easy are savory
crepes. Throw all the stuff in a blender, make them in a non-stick
skillet, put in swiss cheese, ham, a little parmesan, top with sour
cream. And you can make sweet ones too for kids -- with chocolate
and/or fruit. Even just jam.

We are usually in a rental car on Xmas morning, so breakfast is
whatever the diner (if we are lcky) can do. However, we had a
Champaign breakfast once in the Amtrak Adirondak to Montreal.

Not supplied by Amtrak, but we stocked up. Smoked salmon, chevre, and
a Sullivan Street baguette. If we are in a place to do it this year,
the smoked salmon will be replaced with gravlax made from a wild King
Salmon fillet. I did the gravlax for TG this year and we were all
astonished at how good it was.

I recognize that gravlax originated with wild Atlantic salmon
(_salmo_salar_ or _salmo_salmo_, IIRC) and that King is not even a
close relative, but I was babbling when I tasted it. I never guessed
how it would come out.

For TG, we wanted everything domestic. The bubbly was Gruet, from New
Mexico.

I suppose anyone who does gravlax has his or her own recipe, but FYI
here is what I did. This was to serve on TG, Thursday early afternoon.

On Sunday morning, I saw fillets of a big king salmon that spoke to me
while I was there on another errand. I said I't like a 2-lb piece of
that. He said "from which end?" I said "thick end."

He cut of a piece that was about 1.75 lb, and was about as long as it
was wide. Quite thick toward the top of the fish, but hollowed where
the cavity was.

I mixed sugar and sea salt 50-50, about a pound of each, which was
more than necessary perhaps.

laid down a 1/4-in layer on the bottom of a rectangular pan. Put
fillet skin side down. sprinkled a little rum on the fish. Spread a
bunch of fresh dill weed on it, followed by a thicker layer of the
salt-sugar mix. Covered with plastic wrap, which only touched the top
of the sugar-salt mix, not the fish.

Weighted with a frying pan and a stack of plates. Left on the table at
room temperature for 12 hours, then put a-in the fridge at about 11 PM
Sunday.

On Tuesday evening I took the fillet out of the cure and rinsed off.
Dried and wrapped in wax paper and put in a ziplock, back in the
fridge. On Wednesday traveled to Cape Cod in rental car with fish in
cooler, and put in fridge at my cousin's house.

Sliced it about 1 PM on THursday. It was cured to the center. It was
gone within minutes. Even the young people that distrust me for
putting foie gras in things scarfed it up with enthusiasm.

A sure fire repeater.

Well, we usually start with coffee and orange juice; sometimes a
doughnut; candy and nuts from the stockings. Maybe a glass of 2% milk.
By that time everybody is ready for a Falstaff... or it gets to be
Miller time.
OK, it sounds weird, but wotthehell we all like our beer and we got
nowhere else we gotta go 'til after dinner.

Child Bride, SWMBO, insists on bread dried at least one full day on the
kitchen counter, then soaked in the milk mixture overnight to guarantee
saturation.
Having tasted the result, I can't quarrel with the method.

I suppose I could do that, except that I have problems with orange juice,
and I hate to waste good champagne by mixing it with juice. IMO orange
juice with soda water would give the same sparkle, and I will save the
champagne for something more worthy of it.

I hope that you have real waffles to go with the real syrup. I cringe at
the thought of frozen waffles. I suppose they are better than no waffles
at all, but other than my wife and I, I don't personally know anyone any
more who makes their own waffles. It's a shame because they aren't hard
to make, and are well worth the effort.

Crepes are also great with fruits salad and yogurt. You put a dollop of
plain (or flavored) yogurt on a crepe, top it with some fresh fruit salad,
roll it up and drizzle honey over it. They are delicious. The crepes can
be made way ahead of time, and it takes very little time to throw them
together.

Next time, transition with hot chocolate laced with
peppermint Schnapps. Your taste buds will thank you.

My Xmas breakfast consists of coffee and either cranberry orange muffins or

Cranberry Cinnamon Christmas Tree Rolls

DOUGH
1/4 cup granulated sugar j
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 pkg active dry yeast (1 Tbsp)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I use stone-ground)
2 cups all purpose flour

FILLING
2 cups cranberries
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 Tbsp milk

Cranberries; candied green cherries, slivered; silver dragées (optional)

FILLING: While dough is rising, in saucepan, bring cranberries and 1/2 cup
water to boil; cover and boil gently for 5 min. Stir in
1/4 cup of the brown sugar; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring
occasionally, for 5 min. or until thickened. Let cool. In small bowl,
combine remaining brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon.

DOUGH: Dissolve 1 tsp of the sugar in 1/2 cup lukewarm water. Sprinkle in
yeast: let stand for 10 min. or until frothy.

In saucepan, heat sour cream, remaining sugar, butter and salt over low heat
until sugar dissolves; let cool.
In bowl, beat eggs with sour cream and yeast mixtures; gradually beat in
whole wheat flour. Beat for 2 min. or until smooth.
With wooden spoon, gradually beat in enough of the all-purpose flour to make
soft, slightly sticky dough. On lightly floured surface, knead for 8 to 10
min. or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease
all over. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm draft-free area for 1
1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk (or in refrigerator overnight).

Punch down dough; divide in half. On lightly floured surface, roll out one
half to 14x12 inch rectangle. Brush with 1 tbsp of the butter; spread with
half of the filling, leaving 1/2 inch border. Sprinkle with half of the
pecan mixture. Starting at long side, roll up tightly, pinching seam to
seal; brush with 1 Tbsp of the butter.
Using serrated knife, cut 2 inch thick slice from end; reserve. Cut roll
into 15 slices. Centre smallest slice near top of well-greased foil on large
baking sheet. Snugly arrange slices in four more rows, adding one more slice
per row. Centre reserved slice lengthwise under tree. Repeat with remaining
dough. Cover and let rise for 45-50 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake
in 350E°F (180E°C) oven for 25-30 min. or until golden.
In saucepan, heat corn syrup over low heat. Slide buns and foil onto rack;
brush with corn syrup. Let cool for 20 minutes. Whisk icing sugar with milk;
pipe decoratively over buns. Garnish with cranberries and cherries and
perhaps silver dragées..
Can be made in 2 regular 9" square cake pans.
Makes 32 buns/2 trees

Christmas eve is not that big a deal in our house. There's nothing to
sleep off.

We always have breakfast strata and fruit salad, even if it's just the
two of us
at home. That's what my husband is used to; his parents serve that to
their
5 sons and their various wives, girlfriends, and kids. (Along with
English muffins,
coffeecake, and the remainder of the Bloody Marys).

Peppermint schnapps? I'd go straight for the cider with Captain Morgans!
(And still have my beer in my other hand.) <g>

I don't know if it is a matter of getting all sentimental over Christmas day
breakfast, but a lot of people seem to associate special celebrations with certain
foods. I always liked to have a nice breakfast on Christmas. Over the years I tried
different things. The coffee cake that we have is my son's request. He loves it and
was really disappointed a few years ago when he came down for breakfast and there
wasn't one.

Hmmm? I may have to change my answer in the other post. I do have Cider
(unless you mean the hard stuff, which I don't think I'd mix with anything) and
a new bottle of Captain Morgan's. I'd have to go out and buy the cornflakes.

We also make them at home, no mix, nor do we buy frozen. I really
don't like the instant ones, but am surprised at how many people don't
realize how quickly they can make them.

I make pancakes from scratch every sat, and will make the waffles from
scratch. saying "from scratch" sure makes it sound fancy and
difficult, ha. I started doing it after the new bisquick came out, and
the flavor just didn't seem right to me. basically, they're only a few
ingredients whisked together. we keep fresh blueberries in the summer
and used frozen the rest of the year. I happen to have grabbed a
couple of extra bags of fresh cranberries this year, so maybe I'll use
those instead.

We've always opened our presents on Christmas morning (as opposed to
some who open them Xmas eve), so a nice breakfast makes the morning
more fun.

I understand about not wanting the waste the champagne on mimosas, but
I do like mimosas. We had a Mumms for Thanksgiving (straight up),
really enjoyed that.

Hmmmm .... I am not sure about cranberries in pancakes, but it could be
interesting. Since you are one of the few of us who bothers to make
pancakes and wafffles from scratch, I hope that you have tried buttermilk
pancakes. They are far better than those made with plain milk.

It makes it more of a gathering and special celebration than the self
indulgent present grab (IMO).

MMMM, gotta love that Mumms. I used to try to convince myself that the
cheaper champagne type sparkling wines were a viable substitute for the
French stuff. It appeased my pocket book. After a few bottles of the real
thing I have to say that I just can't stomach the cheap stuff. It's just
not the same. During my last trip to Europe we were in the Champagne region
and toured a champagne winery. The sampling tour was quite reasonable, but
the prices over there aren't any cheaper than they are here for the good
stuff.

My mother did something like this, only she'd fine-dice a couple strip
of bacon, and brown a little in the waffle iron before adding the
batter. You'd get maybe 6-8 little peices of dice in each quarter of a
big waffle. One of only two great memories I have of eating meat. (The
other was roast leg of mutton in Australia).

Actually a person at work made several for a breakfast meeting. I flipped
and it has been a staple ever since. One other hint - if cooking for a
crowd - use the broiler and some cookie trays for toasting English muffins
Bagels etc. It takes watching but well worth the effort.

Most years we have freshly squeezed orange juice from the oranges in our
yard, homemade pecan waffles with dark maple syrup, and Kona coffee. Pretty
simple, really.
