Christmas Morning is the most magical morning of the year. Having an easy Christmas Breakfast to fill everyone’s growling tummies through the excitement is essential.

When creating this easy Christmas Breakfast menu I wanted to include something savory, sweet, and fresh.

I also wanted to make sure most of the prep work could be done ahead of time so we all can enjoy the Christmas Morning Excitement.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk
Pour in the eggs and let them sit until the edges start to lift from the pan
Season the eggs when they have almost set

Remove the eggs from the pan and let them cool completely

What Tortillas Should I Use For Breakfast Tacos?

You can use any tortillas that you desire. My go-to for this recipe is flour tortillas.

Flour Tortillas

Heat the tortillas in the microwave by placing five on a plate with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds until warm.

Corn Tortillas

You can also heat the corn tortillas in the same way as you would for flour tortillas

Crunchy Taco Shells

Crunchy shells are also a good option. These are best toasted in the oven.

Toppings For Breakfast Tacos

Any toppings that you like to enjoy on regular tacos are perfect for breakfast tacos.

Cheese – shredded cheddar, Monterey jack, or cotija are great options
Sour Cream – a dollop of sour cream adds some creaminess
Salsa- select any that you like or make your own
Salsa Verde – one of my favorite toppings
Pico di Gio – a fresh salsa option
Diced onion – A nice little bite of onion is yummy
Tomatoes – If you didn’t have pico di gio, diced tomatoes are a great topping
Black Olives – My kids love black olives. If you have olive lovers they make a great topping

How To Make A Cinnamon Roll Casserole Ahead Of Time

This cinnamon roll casserole is the perfect dish to make ahead and bake on Christmas Morning.

Prepare the casserole up to the point of putting it in the oven and cover with plastic wrap.

Store the unbaked casserole in the fridge for up to 2-3 days ahead of baking.

On Christmas morning preheat the oven to 350 and bake for 25-35 minutes until done. Make sure to use an oven-safe baking dish that can go from cold to hot or let the glass pan come to room temperature before putting it in the oven.

How To Make Christmas Fruit Salad

This is an extremely simple fruit salad that is a great addition to Christmas Morning Breakfast.

Clean and mix together red and green grapes
Mix a squeeze of lime juice with honey
Toss the grapes with the dressing
Sprinkle raspberries and pomegranate arils on the top
Serve and enjoy!

Christmas Salad Make Ahead Tips

When making a fruit salad ahead of time it’s best to not mix in any fruits that will get mushy. Keep the raspberries and pomegranate arils separate and sprinkle them on top when serving.

In the interest of keeping this salad simple and festive, the base of the salad is grapes. They are available in both red and green colors, perfect for a Christmas Morning salad.

You can prepare the little dressing glaze ahead of time and toss it with the grapes when you are ready to serve.
