With the holidays fast approaching, many people are planning dinner parties and other evening gatherings. Why not try something new this year and host a holiday brunch instead? With everyone's schedule getting more and more hectic, a refreshing meal in the late morning can be a nice change of pace.
With thoughts of a entertaining brunch in mind, I'm offering one of my favorite brunch recipes for you to try. It's a simple breakfast pastry ring filled with your morning favorites. While you can change the fillings, I suggest serving at least one ring by following the recipe below. If you are planning a larger gathering, make two rings and feel free to make one with breakfast sausage and the other with the vegetables suggested below.
To round out your brunch, make a fresh fruit salad, some assorted muffins and your favorite beverages -- Make sure there is coffee, orange juice and milk. Then, add some extra fun items to the menu. Eggnog can be great on its own or added as a festive creamer to coffee. Iced gingerbread cookies can be the perfect end to a great brunch too.
Keep the atmosphere informal and light. A simple arrangement of fresh flowers, cinnamon sticks and candy canes can be merry and beautiful. Make sure there are enough glasses and mugs to enjoy the bevy of beverages you've chosen and keep the number of plates and pieces of silverware limited. Instead, fill your table with festive food for your family and friends. Enjoy and Seasoned Greetings!
