Recharging with Christmas Breakfast

I've taken a few days off from the internet and it has been fantastic! I have forgotten how wonderful it is to ignore emails, voicemails, text messages, Facebook, Twitter and blogs.  But, as the snow is falling outside, I'm ready to get back into it and I wanted to share one of the fantastic meals I've had this weekend.

Bret and I decided to start a new tradition and whip up a feast of a breakfast on Christmas morning.  It was wonderful to listen to Christmas music as we worked together in the kitchen.  Of course we had to start Christmas morning off right with mimosas...

Our menu included fresh fruit, scrambled cheesy eggs, oven-cooked bacon, toast, homefries, and ebelskivers.  What are ebelskivers?  They are Danish pancakes that are sphere-shaped and filled with sweet or savory fillings.  We received an ebelskiver pan and mix for Hanukkah this year and this was the perfect excuse to make them!

Most of the dishes were fairly easy to make but the homefries and ebelskivers took a lot of our attention.  I was on homefries duty while Bret focused on the ebelskivers.  Some of the ebelskivers were filled with nutella, while others were filled with raspberry jam.  Here are just a few photos:

This resulted in a huge feast of a breakfast!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend thus far and has fully recharged to start the week!
