Sometimes, Christmas morning breakfast is an afterthought. December is so busy that we tend to forget we’ll need something yummy to get us through that final stretch. Many of us either have a houseful of guests or plan on going to someone else’s houseful of guests. Make-ahead dishes rule the day.

One of the best Tennessee hostesses I know, Maribeth Geracioti of Nashville, prepares a Christmas brunch for about 20 people. Her advice: “Offer a few great items in abundance. It makes a bigger splash and is easier on the hostess than a variety of smaller dishes.” When a guest asks what to bring, be ready with a specific answer. Always accept their offers!

The following recipes are designed to celebrate a Tennessee Christmas with around-the-world flavors. They are crowd-pleasing comfort foods with holiday flair.

Ham and Brie Breakfast Strata

Brie, the creamy French cheese, pairs perfectly with Tennessee ham. And breakfast strata, a variation on egg casserole, is easy to make. Assemble your Ham and Brie Breakfast Strata on Christmas Eve, and all you have to do is pop it in the oven in the morning. It will fill your home with an enticing aroma while everyone opens gifts. It tastes great right out of the oven but stands up well at room temperature. More words of wisdom from Maribeth: “Don’t put extra pressure on yourself. If something must be served piping hot, serve something else.”
