Simple, Fun Christmas Brunch Ideas

December 9, 2019 Leave a Comment

This post has been sponsored by Great Day Farms. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

As a kid, Christmas Day was exciting for the obvious reasons, but I️ also remember being so excited to wake up and enjoy fresh cinnamon rolls while Christmas music played in the background early in the morning. We continued this Christmas brunch tradition at my parent’s home once we got married and had our first daughter.

Simple Christmas Brunch Ideas

Several years ago, when we moved away to Memphis, my parents started traveling to our home for the holidays so our girls could wake up in their own beds and celebrate Christmas at our house. I️ took over the Christmas brunch prep when we started hosting the holidays, and I️’ve enjoyed coming up with delicious ideas for us to enjoy on Christmas morning. I️ tend to change things up with our menu, but I️ always include a pan of fresh cinnamon rolls!

I️ enjoy brunch and appetizer-style foods, but I️ also like to make sure I️’m incorporating protein so we won’t be starving in an hour! Eggs are my go-to, and I️ love adding these Great Day Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs to my menu – they make brunch prep so easy! They are available in packs of 2 or 6 in the deli section of your local Walmart – or you can do what I️ do and use Grocery Pickup for all of my holiday essentials! This year, I️’m including two new recipes in my Christmas morning repertoire – I️ will share them below, along with several other brunch ideas to inspire you.

Christmas Brunch Ideas

Mini Egg and Avocado Toast

Mini Egg + Avocado Toasts

You will need:
A loaf of French bread
A 6-count package of Great Day Farms hard-boiled eggs
1-2 avocados
Lemon juice
Seasoning (I️ like Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel seasoning!)

Slice your bread into thin medallions and toast in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Cut the avocados, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork and add a spritz of lemon juice. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice your hard-boiled eggs lengthwise into flat slices. When your bread is done toasting, remove from oven. Using a fork, add a small amount of mashed avocado to cover surface of each bread slice, add a slice of hard-boiled egg and top with your seasoning.

Easy Christmas Brunch Ideas

Chicken Salad Phyllo Cups

You will need:
Chicken
Celery
A 6-count package of Great Day Farms hard-boiled eggs
Mayo, Greek yogurt or hummus
Dried Cranberries
Seasoning of your choice (I️ like garlic and black pepper)
Phyllo dough or cups

Begin by prepping your chicken salad. I️ use this recipe and prefer to cook my chicken in the slow cooker, shred it into a large bowl and allow to cool before assembling. Prep the phyllo dough or cups according to package directions. If you’re using dough, you’ll want to cut it into squares and shape each piece into a ‘bowl’ using a mini muffin tin before baking. Chop up your celery and hard-boiled eggs and set aside. Add your desired amount of mayo, yogurt or hummus to the bowl of chicken and stir to combine. You will want to make sure you add enough to hold the chicken salad together! Next, add your chopped celery, eggs and dried cranberries along with your seasonings of choice and stir to combine. Once the phyllo dough is ready, spoon your chicken salad into each cup and serve.

Some of my other brunch favorites include:

  • Cinnamon Rolls
  • Sausage + Egg Casserole
  • Donut + Fruit Skewers
  • Mini Pancake Bar
  • Sausage + Cheese Balls
  • Mini Sausage Biscuits
  • French Toast Casserole
  • Egg Muffins
  • Mimosa Bar

I️’m all about breakfast, so I️ love coming up with a fun menu for Christmas morning! I️ also love the fact that breakfast and brunch foods are so easy to prep and serve, which means I️ have more time to enjoy the holiday with my family.

Slowly getting back to normal over here after the Slowly getting back to normal over here after the holidays, but not gonna lie, it’s been a rough week 🥴 Between getting back into the swing of early wake ups for school, a teething baby who hasn’t felt well all week, whatever is happening with our country these days, plus doing a veggie cleanse and not having full energy....let’s just say, I’m looking forward to better, brighter days 😆 How’s your first week back after the holiday break? Hopefully it’s been better than mine 🤣🤣

Happy NYE, friends! It certainly has been an inter Happy NYE, friends! It certainly has been an interesting year, but I can’t say that 2020 was all that bad for us. I joke about it being a ‘dumpster fire,’ but I have appreciated all of the extra time at home with my family, not feeling the pressure to always be on the go and of course, launching my business @somethingbleuclt! ✨ I hope you have time for a moment to reflect on your year and find the good moments and hold onto those memories ❤️

Decided to go all out this year and make macarons Decided to go all out this year and make macarons for Santa 🎅🏼 Did you know that traditional French macarons are gluten- and dairy-free? I️ made mine with @egglandsbest 100% Liquid Egg Whites, my favorite brand of egg whites - they are always gluten-free and contain 5g of protein per serving! It was surprisingly simple to make these macarons, and now I️'m hooked! You can make them for any holiday or theme just by changing the color and flavor! <3 #HolidayswithEBEggWhites #ad
