Brunch is arguably the best meal of the day, and a Christmas brunch should impress just as much as the dinner. Brunch’s combination of savory and sweet, breakfast and lunch, inspires dishes that’ll start your day off in an extraordinary way. We’ve put together a menu of recipes that’ll bedeck your table with a crowd-pleasing bit of everything wonderful.

Bacon, Blue Cheese, and Date Biscuit
Savory, sweet, and creamy: nothing expresses comfort like this homemade biscuit recipe. It will be the star of your Christmas brunch.

Chorizo Scotch Eggs with Chimichurri
Kick this classic British appetizer up a notch with some spice. In this version, Mexican chorizo is used to swaddle the eggs for phenomenal results. Impress yourself and your friends with this unique Chorizo Scotch Eggs with Chimichurri recipe. (Don’t tell anyone, but this is a TABLE staff “breakfast for dinner” favorite.)
Egg Masala Puffs
The flaky, buttery puff pastry sprinkled with spices and topped with a soft-cooked egg is a recipe you’ll want to make for Christmas and every day after. It’s bright, earthy, and somehow turns an already lovely day into something even better.
Breakfast Strata
Those who prefer a savory brunch over a sweet one need look no further than this light and fluffy egg casserole. Made with roasted grape tomatoes, our luxurious Breakfast Strata recipe will be a family request for many Christmases yet to come.
Huevos Rancheros with Corn Tortilla Arrows
Chef John Sedlar conceived this preparation as a lighter version of the traditional hearty Southwestern dish. Add it to your selection of meats and cheeses for a special touch. Serving the huevos mixture in the egg shells takes a bit of fiddling, but is so worth it for the presentation’s wow factor.
