Blintz soufflé

Blintz soufflé is an easy and delicious brunch or breakfast dish. The creamy, cheesy filling mimics a traditional blintz, but the batter is baked over a rich, sweet cheese filling instead of making and rolling crepes. Fresh blueberry sauce, fruit jam, and sour cream are traditional accompaniments.

These are great ideas, especially for Christmas morning breakfast. Really liked the french toast recipe the best. Might have to pin it my recipe board. =)

Some of these sound really good. I never eat a tradition breakfast. I'm never hungry in the morning.

I'm never sure what items are okay to make ahead of time, so I often cram and cook everything right before and wish I had a much larger stove. I'd definitely love to try the Cinnamon-Sugar Topped French Toast Casserole.
