Biscuit Bar for Christmas Morning Brunch
If you have a crowd to feed at your house over Christmas weekend a biscuit bar might be a fun easy option for breakfast. Christmas morning is magical, but it can also be chaotic. I’ve found that a DIY biscuit bar is the easiest way to feed a crowd without spending the whole morning in the kitchen.
While we kept this Christmas setup low-key, if you’re looking for a deep dive into the best toppings, Southern-style sides, and setup tips, check out my full guide on how to host a southern biscuit bar.
Choose Your Spreads
We kept our biscuit bar pretty simple and low key. I offered stone ground mustard, three different store bought jellies (cherry, apricot, and fig) and one homemade nut butter spread. It is easy to put together. Simply scoop a little bit out of the store bought containers into small pretty bowls or jars. I used small ramekins for the jellies and and mustard. Eric loves mustard so that was a must!
I made Gingerbread Walnut Butter from the blog Well and Full. Sarah’s recipe is delicious and it took me less than ten minutes to make it in my Vitamix. I was amazed how well it turned out since I have never tried to make my own nut butter before.
Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to mix and match flavors! The tartness of the cherry jelly goes surprisingly well with the warm spices in the gingerbread nut butter.
Choose Your Biscuits
I’ll let you in on a little secret: for this specific brunch, I just baked high-quality frozen store-bought biscuits. While I love a handmade dough, sometimes the “lazy weekend” option is the best way to actually enjoy the morning with your family.
No one will notice they aren’t from scratch once they start customizing their own creations! However, if you do want to bake your own, my recipe for easy vegan drop biscuits is a fantastic, crowd-pleasing option.
Relax and Enjoy
The best thing about hosting a biscuit bar is that once the jars are open and the biscuits are warm, there is nothing left to do except sit back, relax, and join in the fun.
I hope this gives you some easy inspiration for your own Christmas morning!
