In small bowl, add streusel ingredients and combine using fingers or pastry cutter. Set aside. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Make a well in centre and set aside. In separate bowl, lightly beat eggs, then add eggnog, butter and vanilla and gently whisk together. Pour wet ingredients into centre of dry ingredient well. Stir gently until combined. Scoop evenly into muffin tins lined with baking cups and top with equal amounts of streusel. Bake in pre-heated 375F oven for 20 to 22 minutes (until toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean). Allow to cool completely on wire rack then store in sealable container until Christmas morning! Serve with fresh fruit and coffee with Baileys.
Butter 9 x 13 casserole dish. Cover bottom with slices of bread cut to fit. Top with layer of ham then cheese. Add second layer of bread cut to fit and top with remaining ham and cheese. Top with one final layer of bread (see image above if you've lost count). Beat together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, mustard, onion, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Pour over casserole. Cover and refrigerate overnight (note I have refrigerated this for as little as 4 hours and it was still awesome!) In the morning, poor melted butter on top and sprinkle with crushed Special K. Bake uncovered in pre-heated 350F oven for 1 hour (which gives you plenty of time to get the turkey prepped!) Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
In our house, Christmas morning has always been accompanied by a bottle of Homemade Baileys Irish Cream for the coffee and a pitcher of Mimosas. While the typical Mimosa is one part orange juice and one part sparkling wine, this Christmas Morning Mimosa adds a little seasonal flavour to make the perfect present opening beverage. Just remember that someone needs to get the turkey in the oven, so sip and savour!
Ingredients:
1 Bottle Prosecco
1 Bottle Orange Juice (the good kind with no pulp)
1 Bottle Cranberry Pomegranate Cocktail (or just plain Cranberry Cocktail will do)
1 Pitcher (the one you put fancy drinks in)
Directions:
Note: This will make approximately 2 pitchers, but feel free to alter the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste buds.
