One of my family's traditions during Christmas is a delectable, delicious breakfast or brunch recipe called Sausage Stuffed French Bread. Much of the recipe can be done ahead of time. All the meat, onions and seasonings can be sauteed a day or two before and refrigerated, and then combined with the eggs and bread right before cooking. The bread can also be hollowed out ahead of time, though you would need to wrap it well and be sure to keep it airtight in order to keep it fresh. One store-bought loaf of French bread works well here, or you can use the miniature loaves and let each family member have their own little loaf! They'll cherish it and savor every bite, because this recipe is a winner.
