This Christmas brunch board is the perfect celebratory grazing meal! It’s got something for everyone from fluffy waffles to sweet & salty bacon, to crispy granola and creamy devilled eggs. Leave it out while you open your presents and have some coffee or hot cocoa ready to go!
Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl to blend.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, Colavita olive oil and lemon peel.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just blended. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon batter onto waffle iron.
Cover and cook until golden and cooked through (cooking time will vary, depending on waffle iron).
Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately fresh fruit and maple syrup.
Mix oats, nuts, coconut, sugar, and salt together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup and EVOO, then mix both together.
Bake at 300˚F for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
To assemble the parfait, spoon 1/2 cup of yogurt into a bowl or jar. Place a handful of berries on top, then a layer of granola.
Repeat the process once more.
Serve!
Heat your oven to 425°F
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the strips of bacon on the prepared baking sheet, taking care not to overlap them.

Place eggs in a small pan and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook 9 minutes. Drain, and peel while still warm. Slice in half lengthwise; remove yolks, reserving whites on a serving platter.
Place yolks in a medium bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, creme fraiche, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe into reserved egg whites.
Garnish with herbs and serve.
