Well-known member
I went to Gail's Recipe Swap, as I've been doing for YEARS, and it appeared to have died sometime in October. I was heartbroken! I don't visit regularly, but you folks are my T & T source for everything good when I need ideas or that elusive recipe. I was crushed!

Luckily, someone asked for the URL here, and being truly SNOOPY and DETERMINED...lookie who all I found!

I can sleep tonight!!

Now, if anyone can suggest a good Christmas Breakfast recipe, I'll be able to sleep tomorrow night too!

 
Welcome Glennis! REC German Apple Pancakes

We are all here thanks to Mimi's hard work- glad you found us.

Here is a wonderful recipe I have made on Christmas morning for years- sometimes I make a fruit syrup, sometimes I just warm up good maple syrup- it is good no matter what you put on it!

GERMAN APPLE PANCAKES ( Serves 4)
Beautiful presentation; especially good with pork sausage as an accompaniment!

4 eggs
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
2 apples, cooking type, sliced thinly
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Heat oven to 400°. Place 2 round layer cake pans in oven. Beat eggs, flour, milk and salt in mixer bowl at medium speed (or in food processor) for 1 minute.
Remove pans from oven and place 2 T butter in each. Rotate pans until butter melts and coats sides of pans.
Arrange half of apple slices in each pan. Divide batter evenly between pans. Mix sugar and cinnamon, and divide between the pans.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Serve with syrup, applesauce, powdered sugar or fruit.

 
If you are cooking bkfst for a crowd, consider this REC Fancy Bruch Casserole

FANCY BRUNCH CASSEROLE

1/2 pkg (large) frozen hash brown potatoes
9 eggs
1/2 cup cream
4 T butter
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/4 lb mushrooms, sliced
1/2 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 T dry hot mustard
1/2 lb bacon, sliced into 1” pieces and fried crisp

Brown hash browns in 2 T butter. Put in 1/2 of the onion in the last few minutes of cooking. Put browned potatoes and onions in an 8-9” square (or round) pan.
Beat together eggs, cream, herbs, salt and mustard. Melt remaining 2 T butter in a large pan and saute´ the onion, green pepper and mushrooms until half cooked. Add egg mixture and scramble. Put on top of potatoes. Spread mushroom soup over this. Add cheddar cheese next, then bacon over the very top. (This can all be made the day before, up to this point.)
Bake at 325° for 45 minutes. If refrigerated, add another 20 minutes.

 
Oh YUM! - - >

This sounds right up to my reputation! I made stuffed french toast with sausage and maple syrup last year. I'd need to double the batch, but...can do! And I've got loads of "farm fresh" eggs! Thanks CathyZ!

 
Sounds good too...

but one of us doesn't like our food mixed...I'm amazed the child eats pizza...oh wait...only pepperoni and peppers...she picks everything else off! I'll save this one for the adults another time!

 
I am SO glad I found you folks!

I NEED to know where you all are! It's like an addiction... I'm ok as long as I know where you are, but I'll try to visit more...it's too fun here to lose you folks again!

 
Hi Glennis..just like old times. I serve this on Christmas morn. Both can be made the day before.

The Blintz Souffle can be halved or the Maple Sausage can be doubled depending on how many will be gathering around the tree.

Hi Glennis! There was a great breakfast post over at EPI that I will bump for you. Go over there

sometime today and it should be near the top. It had lots of great Christmas breakfast ideas---too many to re-post here at the moment.

 
Here is another idea that is soooooo good- it is what I am making this year

I know you have one family member that doesn't like to mix foods but that problem is easily solved.

I make standard French crepes and also, at the same time, saute good breakfast sausage links and drain them. I roll the sausage links in hot crepes and put a few rolls on warmed plates and serve with warm maple syrup.
