| Can y'all share your French toast casserole recipes? |

We tended to have either monkey bread or gingerbread. The good thing about monkey bread is the kids did most of the work. They’d tear the biscuits and roll them in cinnamon sugar. I just had to make the sauce and deal with the oven. |

I make a hash brown, sausage, egg and cheese casserole, heat up Moravian sugar bread, and cut up some mixed citrus.
We have our large meal Christmas Eve and a casual supper Christmas night, so a heavier casserole is pretty popular Christmas morning. |

Brunch for us, usually around 11am.
Cinnamon rolls or French toast casserole, bacon or sausage links, scrambled eggs, fruit. When my kids were little, they'd get up early and tear right into presents, didn't want to think about food until later. Now that they are teens, they sleep later, but are happy to eat before or while opening presents. |

I do this: https://inagartencooks.com/barefoot-contessa-baked-french-toast-casserole-recipe/ I skip the streusel topping most times, but would do it for the holiday. But for the holidays, I am one of those homemade cinnamon roll people. Cinnamon is the tradition in my family, but I like these better: https://smittenkitchen.com/2013/11/cranberry-orange-breakfast-buns/ They're less overwhelmingly sweet, and the cranberries look like gems. They also smell AMAZING! |

| I make yeasted or sourdough waffles. The batter rises overnight. You just add some eggs and baking soda in the AM and pour into the waffle iron. We usually serve the waffles with sauteed spiced apples, cranberry sauce, maple syrup, yogurt, and bacon. |

Trader Joe's Almond Croissants - rise overnight, put in the oven when you start to open stockings or first presents
+ Mimosa for adults After croissants are finished, I put in an egg casserole that I prepped the night before. It's ready to eat as soon as we've cleaned up the wrapping paper. |

Oh and we do the recipe from Stella Parks. I will say that it’s a long process (with two rises) but it’s our favorite recipe. It’s more similar to Cinnabon-style rolls (lots of filling) than sweet buns (more bread). I only make them once a year because it takes up half of my day but it’s a fun tradition we have. |

Those croissants do work really well. I suspect a lot of coffee shops use those exact frozen croissants. |

| We just love cinnabon cinnamon rolls (homemade). They aren't quick though and they take a while to prep the night before. We have a lot of people over to watch the kids open presents in the morning and they're a hit. We serve with hot chocolate, coffee and berries. |
