Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas? I love waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee by the fire and watching everyone open gifts. And I love to have a brunch that doesn’t take a lot of work afterwards! Here is a super easy, super delicious and very special treat for brunch.
Here’s How to Prepare your Brunch
I like to start with the Sangria. Then it can chill while you’re making up the sandwiches.
Mix the cranberry, orange, lemon and lime juice together. Stir and chill. Make sure you save some thin slices to garnish your drinks.
While that’s chilling, make the eggs and toast the English muffins.
Beat the eggs with the tarragon, cream, and salt.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and pour in the eggs.
Put into the oven at 350° and bake about 5 minutes.
Add the chevre to the top and continue to bake until the cheese is melting and the eggs are set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for just a few minutes.
Now make the cream. Put the whipping cream in a bowl with just a pinch of salt. Using a wire whisk, beat until it starts to thicken. Stir in the capers and set aside.
Cut the frittata into four rounds.
Place one round of egg on each muffin.
Top with 1/4 of the salmon
and drizzle with caper cream.
Top it off with arugula and serve hot.
To finish the sangria, pour the juice mixture about half way into the glasses and
top with cranberry flavored sparkling water.
Garnish with frozen cranberries and citrus slices.
Enjoy – and Merry Christmas!

Anything with lox, we love in this house. I keep telling my husband that it is his Norwegian heritage. :) Your brunch sounds wonderful. Have a Merry Christmas!
I think gravlax is the Norwegian version and I actually like better. It’s cured with sugar and salt as opposed to just salt. Hope your Christmas was amazing and thank you so much for stopping by!
A delicious Christmas Brunch that we would really enjoy! Hope you had a great Christmas and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday,516. We hope to see you back here again soon!
