Thoughtful…doesn’t even begin to describe what dropping-off breakfast to friends or family means on a busy Christmas morning. But, that’s exactly what you can do with this quick and easy recipe. It only takes a few inexpensive ingredients, and the best part—it’s whipped up the day before and is actually better if it sits in the fridge overnight.

A Breakfast Gift

There are multiple ways to gift this meal from the simplest offering to a more elaborate gift. I used to drop this gift off to several of my close neighborhood friends on the afternoon of 12/24 as a nice surprise and great addition to their Christmas morning.

My aunt originally gifted this meal to my mother one Christmas Eve elaborately decked out in a new baking dish with kitchen utensils and dishcloths. It was so unique and creative that it left quite a memorable imprint.

Here’s how to prep

If you’re on a tight buget but would still love to gift breakfast to multiple friends or neighbors, opt for inexpensive disposable 9×13 baking containers, then simply add the four ingredients, whisk, cover with foil, add a tag with baking instructions, and top-off with a bow before delivering.

Taking it up a notch

If you’d like your gift to be a little more elaborate, say to a mother-in-law, aunt or cousin, purchase a 9×13 baking dish to match the decor of recipient’s kitchen. Add mixed ingredients and refrigerate. Choose from these add-on gifts depending on your budget.
