In search of a Christmas breakfast that you can prep in advance and feed a crowd? Consider simple baked eggs that taste and smell like pizza! To keep this dish festive, roasted tomatoes and sautéd kale serve as the main components to highlight the colors of the season. Don’t like either? Swap in spinach or swiss chard for kale and roasted peppers in place of tomatoes. The cheese in the baked eggs is also adaptable to taste preference and availability. I highly recommend using a combination of a sharp cheese, like cheddar or fontina, with a mild creamy cheese like mozzarella. Serve the eggs with a simple salad, berries, toast, and shiitake bacon and you’ve got a simple and delicious holiday breakfast!

Overnight oats serve as a great option for you bleary-eyed, non-morning people. It is an easy breakfast to grab and go if you are too rushed in the AM or are just one of those individuals who do not like to eat first thing in the morning. Overnight oats can be prepared the night before, stored in a mason jar in the fridge, and grabbed on your way out the door. This rendition of overnight oats is mixed with zesty citrus, nut milk, Quaker oats, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup. For a seasonal and delicious topping, a compote of ginger, strawberry, and rhubarb adds layers of flavor and texture.
