Loowit Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 We are doing a Christmas brunch at my parent's house this year. My mom is making cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, some sort of potato dish, and drinks. My sister is bringing a ham. My brother is bringing cookies and homemade candies (fudge, chocolate covered cherries, etc.) I am not sure what to bring. We have several family members with severe food allergies to peanuts, treenuts, and soy, so those have to be avoided. We also avoid any pitted fruits like apricots, peach, plumbs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Frittata or quiche? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'smom Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I would take one of those breakfast casserole type things, with sausage, eggs, and hash browns. Or bacon. You can't go wrong with bacon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Breakfast Burrito since your mom is making scrambled eggs anyway ,you can take the tortillas and fixings! I was going to say the same thing. Bring some salsa and cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyco Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Given what's already being planned, I'd take a french toast casserole...which is really like bread pudding, but for breakfast! Or maybe an apple crisp. Or muffins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is our traditional New Year's Morning breakfast, and so far everyone has loved it: http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/bacon-cheese-pull-aparts/c8d0eaa0-e997-4c76-b5f9-3974c1cc1e16/ Read the reviews for advice though. We find it too dry for our taste, so I usually end up using 3-4 eggs and a bit more cheese and milk. And check the biscuits you buy for the allergens you need to worry about. I think Pillsbury would be OK, but you'd need to check for sure. I also make these recipes when we're on our annual vacation in the Outer Banks with extended family. The donuts are requested annually, and the French toast was a new but loved recipe this past summer: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/overnight-blueberry-french-toast/ http://camillestyles.com/food-2/the-perfect-bite-french-breakfast-donuts/ Personally, I'd lean toward an egg casserole type thing though, because the cinnamon buns would be sweet enough for me. Or the high-quality bagels with lox and cream cheese *yum* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I agree with French toast casserole as it seems like you have the protein covered with the scrambled eggs and ham. Another idea would be to bring fixings for a smoothie bar. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFaerie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sweet and Sour Sausage! One of my faves: 12 oz. mini sausages (heat and serve) 3/4 C. sugar 1/2 C. vinegar 1 T. cornstarch 1 T. water Brown the sausage; add sugar and vinegar; stir and boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 min. Combine cornstarch and water. Mix well and add to skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Keep warm while serving (sauce thickens upon cooling).

Carol in Cal. Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I was going to say chocolate chip Belgian waffles with Vermont maple syrup and a side of Cabot extra sharp cheddar until I saw the homemade candy. So now I'll say Tortellini Alfredo. Easy, and it holds well in a chafing dish. Or Cheese Blintzes, ditto. Well, not quite as easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Mimosas? Some fresh squeezed OJ? Hot cocoa with fun mixins and toppings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 There is so much food coming I like the hot chocolate idea with fun toppings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Orange Blossom Punch--refreshing and festive-- 1 liter of ginger ale 1 liter of orange juice 1 pint of lemon sherbet Mix liquids, pour over ice in a punch bowl, mix in sherbet, serve Or cold spiced cider. Make hot spiced cider, using about twice as much spice as normal, and chill it and serve it over ice. The spices (especially cloves) cut the cloying sweetness of the cider, and the cold makes it refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Almost all chocolate has soy in it, so since there is already chocolate coming that possibly is not soy-free, I would focus on a dessert that is soy-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 All of that sweet richness needs some balance. I would bring fresh fruit and veg trays. I like the punch ideas, too. Speaking cider, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 "Hello, there! I am Cider. I'm crisp and refreshing. Please, pour me and drink me!" Mmmm... Or some nice hot mulled cider! What about something like these? http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sausage-Balls-2/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Thumb&e11=sausage%20balls&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page&soid=sr_results_p1i2 I'd try to find a recipe without the "biscuit mix," personally, but someone in my family used to make something like this, and they were SO delicious. I should see if I can track that recipe down, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
