In Fact, Meat Appetizer Is the Perfect Christmas Breakfast.
Christmas is big food day. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast! Liquor in coffee! Champagne in your orange juice! Fried meat with crispy potatoes! Sauce for your eyes! And never forget the pie. It’s fun , but by starting the day with a thick, hearty casserole, you can put the festivities to sleep before they really begin. Treat your Christmas consumption like a marathon and start your day with a holiday sausage board.
High quality meats and cheeses with a beautiful baguette, crackers, fruits, nuts and olives make for a great breakfast. (Many countries such as Croatia, Finland and Denmark serve cold cuts as part of the morning meal. I wish it was more common here.) weighs you down and makes you sleepy. (Don’t want to eat olives before noon? Grow up.)
You don’t need to place the meats and cheeses in a tree or wreath shape, but I highly recommend doing so. If you want to have breakfast with him and serve mini pancakes with bacon and poached eggs with jam, you certainly can, but I think the classic cheese and charcuterie offering with all the little accessories is simpler and feels a little more special. Iberico jamon before 9 am? Crystal aged gouda with mimosa? Marcona almonds to nibble on when you unpack your stocking? How decadent.
Unlike many other breakfasts, this one requires no preparation, requires minimal utensils, and can be assembled the night before, covered, and refrigerated until morning. Just be sure to take it out of the fridge at least half an hour before serving – cheese tastes better without cold .
