Looking for ideas for breakfast Christmas morning. I could never get my family to really stop for a meal Christmas morning but want to start for my grand daughter.

I don't want to really cook in the morning otherthan heat up bacon for DH who won't eat an egg casserole. MIL, parents and BIL and son are coming.

Any ideas for a fruit dish also?

I have tried several stratas.. french toast casseroles.. But this year i am going back to this one..it's one of my favs..
I'll serve smoked salmon and bagels before while we are opening Santa's gifts.. then this with Peacan Praline Bacon..I think it originates fro Canadian Living magazine a few years ago..

Preheat: 400degrees

Baked Brie, Potatoes, Ham and Eggs.

Method:
Cook peeled potatoes in a pot of salted wate r(I
always add 1 tbsp chicken stock) for about 15
mins until still a bit firm. Drain well.Refrigerate until
cold. Cut into 1/4 inch cubes.
In a Large skillet melt butter and oil and cook
potatoes until nicely browned over med high heat.
They will turn crisp and golden..At this point I
seasoned to my taste and added the onions and
parsley.
Let cool then stir in Brie and parsley. In a buttered
shallow 9x13 casserole, spread potato ham and
brie mixture evenly. Form 6 wells. Cover with foil
and refrigerate till the next morning. Bake
uncovered at 400 degrees for about 15 mins.
When warmed enough drop an egg in each well
sprinkle with paprika and bake until desired
consistency. The recipe said 15-20 mins..mine
were more like 25 mins.
Looks great ... tastes really good and I had literally
nothing to do but sit back and enjoy with a Xmas
morning Mimosa.
You may substitute the ham for smoked salmon or
omit altogether for vegetarians.

Ingredients:
4 Large potatoes (I put 6)
1 tsp each vegetable oil and
butter (I put 2 of butter)
8 oz Brie diced
1 Cup finely chopped ham
1/4 Cup each of freshly chopped
parsley and green onions
1/4 tsp pepper
6-8 eggs

Enjoy.

This is really an appetizer recipe, but Beverly has said that she makes these for breakfast so, why not?
