And I loved that mom and I weren't tied to a hot stove in order to get breakfast on the table! The whole process was super chill, and once everyone had been through the waffle bar once, some went again to try the other flavor. A small garbage can next to the buffet (for discarding used batter cups)Įveryone had so much fun making their waffles! It was nice to just take pictures of everyone making their waffle and putting their own unique combo of toppings on it.2 forks or tongs (for removing hot waffles from the irons).2 small rubber spatulas (for removing the batter from the plastic cups).Cinnamon pears (sauteed for 5 minutes in a little butter and cinnamon).Candied bacon bits (I sprinkled some brown sugar on it while it cooked, then chopped it into pieces).Apple Cranberry Sauce (leftover from Thanksgiving).Batter for Double Chocolate Waffles (recipe below).Batter for Brown Butter Pumpkin Waffles (recipe below).I planned on people just putting the batter from the cup onto the hot waffle iron - just like you would do at a hotel breakfast bar! Next, I utilized leftovers and leftover ingredients from our Thanksgiving feast for our selection of waffle toppings. I divided the batters into little cups that held ¾ cup of waffle batter - or enough for one waffle - so that everything was portioned out and ready ahead of time. I borrowed two waffle irons, set them out on the buffet table, and made two different waffle batters the night before our brunch. I gave this make-ahead holiday waffle bar a test-run at my parent's house over Thanksgiving weekend. I loved the Holiday Build Your Own Pancake Bar with eggnog and gingerbread pancakes I did a few years ago, but I wanted an option for something I wouldn't have to cook and could just chill with the rest of my family.

I think it's always fun to have a "make your own" buffet where everyone gets to customize their breakfast.

This year, I wanted to come up with a Christmas morning breakfast menu that could be made the day before and easily assembled the next morning. It just depends on what we are in the mood for! While we don't have a traditional meal that we stick to in our family, the food we have on Christmas morning is always extra special and super tasty! Some years we have sweet potato cinnamon rolls, some years it's monkey bread, or sometimes we have biscuits and smooth and silky chocolate gravy. This holiday waffle bar guide is a super festive, merry, make-ahead menu to serve on Christmas morning or as part of a holiday brunch! Jump to:Ĭhristmas morning breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the year.
