For a crowd-pleasing option to suit both the kids’ and adults’ tables, try topping your eggs Benny with bacon.

You’ve got the breakfast omelette down, but have you tried a strata? A layered casserole dish usually including bread, egg, and cheese, a strata is almost like a savoury bread pudding. It will feed a crowd and stick with you into the day until the next meal.

French toast made with Compliments Egg Nog, stuffed with sweet orange marmalade, cream cheese, and dried cranberries—does anything sound better for a Christmas morning breakfast?

This breakfast pastry is ultra-easy (just 15 minutes of prep!). Slice up this wreath and watch guests exclaim over cream cheese filling with sugary strawberries loaded into a warm flaky crust, all drizzled in a sweet glaze.
