Family Breakfast Ideas and Brunch Recipes for the Holidays

Hosting family or friends for the holidays and looking for tasty food ideas to serve? Wait until you try these delicious family breakfast ideas and brunch recipes!

With special occasions like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s Eve on the horizon, the perfect way to start the day is with a delicious breakfast or brunch.

Now I say breakfast or brunch because some families start their days a little earlier than others to make it breakfast.

But my family has traditionally been late sleepers, so for us, the most important meal of the day is brunch. LOL!

And especially on Christmas morning, we move a lot slower than most families, even when hosting guests.

So today’s post will share lots of delicious recipes and ideas that can be served for breakfast foods and brunches.

Supper Club

We’ve been having a great time with our supper club and this month we are celebrating the holidays with a festive gathering.

Whether you are hosting family or friends during the holiday season, we are sharing lots of pretty Christmas table centerpiece and decorating ideas.

If you are coming from my good friend Pasha from Pasha is Home, welcome to my home. I’m thrilled you dropped by.

In case you are new here, I’m Stacy, a self-taught master gardener who lives and gardens in northern New Jersey, zone 6a.

We recently moved to a beautiful 1850 Farmhouse with 10 acres of gardens, sculptures and statues.

I’ve been gardening for over 20 years and enjoy helping beginner gardeners find their inner green thumb, as well as discover a love for all things plants and flowers. I love to bring the outdoors inside my home too.

I hope you enjoy visiting my home today and hope you come back so we can grow stuff and create beautiful spaces together.

Shopping the Grocery Store For Overnight Guests

When hosting friends and family for the holidays, it’s important to stock up on lots of different food options to serve. Because you’ll want to pick up items that will satisfy different tastes and dietary restrictions too.

Particularly, for those that are early risers and prefer to eat a good breakfast first thing in the morning, it’s important to have food ideas on the ready like:

• fresh fruit
• cinnamon rolls
• apple pie
• easy coffee cake
• overnight oats
• blueberry muffins
• chocolate muffins
• your favorite berries
• english muffins
• peanut butter
• jams and jellies
• cream cheese
• bagels
• granola bars
• morning coffee
• milk
• cereal
• oatmeal

Having foods that are grab-and-go is a great idea because family and friends can grab a light bite before everyone sits down to a big breakfast or brunch.

Of course, you’ll want to pick up some easy breakfast recipe staples too like:

• dozens of eggs
• bacon
• avocados
• fruits
• pork, turkey or chicken sausage
• butter
• margarine
• pancake batter
• half and half
• milk

Family Breakfast Ideas and Brunch Recipes for the Holidays

Quick ideas of favorite recipes that the whole family will love are:

• fried egg and cheddar cheese sandwiches
• scrambled eggs and other different egg recipes
• avocado toast
• crispy bacon
• pork sausage
• hash browns
• sausage egg sandwiches
• breakfast tacos
• french toast
• breakfast burritos

But if you’re ready to break out of the breakfast rut and try some new breakfast ideas that will satisfy a breakfast or brunch craving, this post has you covered.

From big family breakfast ideas to simple brunch recipes, these quick and easy food ideas are sure to please.
