The Best Christmas Brunch Recipes
Christmas brunch. It’s such a great meal. I am excited to share with you some amazing Christmas Brunch recipes today.
Brunch to me feels like a slow and decadent meal, in all of the best ways. A meal to be lingered over, a little bit salty, a little bit sweet, a lot of great food and conversation. Sharing some of my favorites that just might become yours as well!
At Christmas Brunch in our home, everyone is still in their Christmas jammies which is exactly how we like it.
Of course, there is little time to prepare the menu so it needs to be something that can be made ahead, or easily prepared.
But it also needs to taste delicious.
Today I am sharing two amazing frittata recipes and some of our favorite breakfast bread recipes.
Be sure and scroll down to the bottom to see eight more wonderful Christmas brunch recipes.
Frittatas, Two-Ways
I love making frittatas for our Christmas Brunch. I usually don’t use a recipe. All I do is add whatever I can find in the refrigerator and vegetable garden.
I am going to add these two frittatas to my menu for this year’s Christmas brunch. They are a Ground Turkey Sausage, Turkey Bacon, Pepper and Onion Frittata, and a Tomato and Parmesan Frittata.
Doesn’t that sound amazing?
I love cooking in our kitchen and I always cook on our kitchen island. After cooking in our kitchen for twenty years, it is well stocked. I have tried to limit my kitchen utensils and appliances to necessary only items. But I do have everything you might need to cook just about anything!
Not only are frittatas light and taste good, but they also are really easy to make.
It is basically a three-step process. you cook the fillings and add the eggs. And bake them.
We don’t use a lot of cheese around here (we are nondairy) so you might notice very little cheese. I use to cook with cheese all of the time. But not now!
I love onions and peppers in anything. So you shouldn’t be surprised to see that the first frittata recipe has both!
(A good tip is to cook some onions and peppers with olive oil, let cool, and store in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator. You will find they taste amazing with scrambled eggs, sandwiches, burgers, and more.)
Once you start to fill your pans, don’t hesitate to add anything else you think might be good.
Each frittata takes a dozen eggs. Of course, that is based on the size of your pan. We used 10″ quiche pans, so if you use a smaller pan you can use fewer eggs.
Check out my Amazon Live!
I did my first Amazon Live and it was really fun. I picked a fun topic that I love and I shared Everything You Can Do to Set Up a Wrapping Area in Your Home.
Included were three demonstrations; how to make your own wrapping paper, how to make your own bows, and how to wrap a gift.

Frittata Recipes
Ground Turkey Sausage, Turkey Bacon, Pepper and Onion Frittata
This frittata is a light and delicious egg dish perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey sausage
- Β½ pound turkey bacon
- 1 onion (sliced into thin rings)
- 1 red pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 TBSP chopped garlic (total)
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 4 green onions, chopped, including greens
- 1 dozen eggs
- Β½ cup milk or half and half
Instructions
Brown the ground turkey sausage in a pan with a dash of olive oil and a tsp of chopped garlic.
Brown the turkey bacon until crisp. Add a dash of olive oil if the bacon is sticking to the pan.
Once the meats are cooked through, chop the turkey bacon and add to the ground turkey sausage, combining the two together. Set aside.
In the same pan as the turkey was cooked, add a tablespoon of olive oil and ½ tsp of garlic and warm. Add sliced onions. Cook until translucent. Add the red pepper and cook until the onions and peppers are both soft and cooked through. Transfer to the paper towels to absorb the grease.
In a quiche pan, spread the turkey and bacon mixture evenly in the pan. Add the onion and pepper mixture on top of the turkey mixture, spreading evenly.
Whisk together the eggs and milk/half and half. Pour over the turkey mixture, onion, and peppers in the quiche pan. Sprinkle the green onions over the top.
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes until set. The eggs will puff up so make sure there is room in the pan for expansion.

- Β½ cup diced sun dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp. chopped garlic

Drain the canned tomatoes. If your sun-dried tomatoes are in oil, drain, then dice. Combine the two tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Add the garlic.
In a quiche pan, spread the tomato mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the parmesan evenly over the tomatoes.
Whisk together the eggs and milk/half and half. Pour over the tomato and cheese mixture, in the quiche pan.

Your home is lovely! I have a home that was built in 1930. It is stuck in 1980 with window treatments and colors that are heavy with pattern. Iβm looking for ideas to freshen it up and clear it from the weight of the past. Thank you for sharing your home and ideas.
