Thanksgiving morning is full of anticipation, and what better way to kick off the day than with a delicious homemade breakfast? Whether you’re looking to impress guests or simply treat yourself, our breakfast diner is sharing five ideas that will help fuel your morning and leave room for the big feast later.
Stuffing-Inspired Breakfast Bake
Turn classic Thanksgiving stuffing into a breakfast casserole! Combine cubed bread, sautéed onions, celery, cooked sausage (or plant-based alternative), and eggs. Bake until golden and serve hot. If needed, use cornbread or gluten-free bread to tailor the dish to your dietary preferences.
Apple Cinnamon French Toast Casserole
This make-ahead dish transforms classic French toast into a decadent apple cinnamon French toast casserole. Layer thick slices of bread with an apple-cinnamon mixture and soak them in custard overnight. In the morning, bake until golden and serve with warm maple syrup or caramel sauce.
Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Frittata
For a sophisticated twist on breakfast, try a frittata. Sauté diced butternut squash, onions, and spinach, then pour beaten eggs over the mixture. Top with crumbled goat cheese and bake until set. To make it a complete meal, serve with a side of crusty bread or a light arugula salad.
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Capture the flavors of fall with fluffy pumpkin spice pancakes made with pumpkin purée, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of vanilla, these pancakes are light and aromatic. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream for a festive touch. If desired, you can use whole wheat flour for added fiber, or swap regular milk for almond milk to make it dairy-free.
Sweet Potato Pancakes with Pecan Syrup
Turn sweet potatoes into a delicious breakfast treat with sweet potato pancakes. These hearty pancakes are full of flavor, and when topped with homemade pecan syrup, they become an irresistible holiday breakfast.
