Breakfast is one of our favorite things about Christmas day. We sit down together later in the morning after all the presents have been unwrapped but before Michael and the boys begin work on assembling toys, and enjoy a hot breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls, scones, pancakes, cranberry apple French toast, panettone, or waffles. These eggnog waffles are a Christmas morning favorite we savor with butter and warm maple syrup, and small glasses of eggnog on the side with a sprinkling of nutmeg. These waffles energize the boys for a full day of play, including time outside in the snow when we're lucky enough to have some during the holidays.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

My husband, a true egg nog addict, would love these waffles, so much so that it might be dangerous to show him this recipe! Happy holidays to you and your family.
Lydia, our husbands would be in good company because this is Michael's recipe. 🙂
