Baked Eggs: The Perfect Christmas Morning Breakfast

Is there anything more exciting than Christmas morning?  I don’t think so.  What isn’t exciting is slaving over a breakfast that keeps you in the kitchen and away from all the fun.  But who wants the same old on such a special day?

Enter my family’s version of baked eggs.  It’s an easy and filling breakfast that assembles in minutes and requires little effort on your part.

Set them out with some bacon, toast, and a tray of fruit, and you have a delicious morning meal that gives you more time with your family.

This Christmas morning breakfast idea is so easy and fast that there's no need to make ahead or overnight. Individual Bbaked eggs in muffin tins are great for a savoury brunch for a crowd, families, and kids. Bonus, there's only 10 minutes of prep and it's gluten free too! #christmasmorning #christmasbreakfast #glutenfree

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Walnuts

Every Saturday morning I like to make a special breakfast for my family.  It’s one of those simple little traditions we all look forward to.  Usually it’s waffles or pancakes, sometimes cheesy eggs on toast, or maybe a more protein-packed eggs and bacon if I know we’ll be busy. Whatever it is, it’s almost always on the fine china.

Need a quick, easy, and healthy fall breakfast? Pumpkin Spice Pancakes to the rescue. Three basic ingredients and a few spices come together to make these delicious and fluffy pancakes. You'll want to try them with walnuts and a dash of maple syrup. Thanksgiving breakfast, anyone? #breakfast #healthy #quick #easy #pancakemix #pancakes #pumpkinspice #healthybreakfast #easyrecipe #quickrecipe #recipe #brunch #thanksgiving

Fabulous Crepe Brunch Menu

Crepe Brunch Menu

Need a brunch idea that’s sure to impress?  Crepes are the answer.  While this menu is a little more labour intensive than others that I’ve posted, it’s well worth the extra effort.  Save yourself some last minute scrambling and clean and cut all your fruit the night before.  I’ve only listed the fruits we used in the crepes, but you can buy whatever fruit you like or is readily available.
