Chia Holiday Brunch

To wrap up our #chiaholiday, we asked artist and foodie Heather Fenner to

make us her favorite brunch! A painter, wife, and mom of three from Los Angeles, she knows

a few things about making a filling and well decorated Holiday Brunch! Oh, and it’s super yummy, too!

The Holidays are all about family, food and fun. Don’t you agree?!

For your holiday gathering you have to pull out all the stops, ring those bells and deck those halls!

This is why I love to make an amazing Christmas Morning Brunch! This year I’m making two versions of my famous overnight French toast bake.

One will be a paleo version, as many of us in my family are Paleo/Primal, and of course the traditional version, as well.

Hot apple cider and bottomless mimosas shall flow freely… especially the mimosas. Definitely the mimosas.

Wait. What was I talking about ?! Oh right, the Brunch!

One of my favorite egg dishes is a frittata. But when you have several hungry family members to feed, I love changing it up a bit.

I make the mix but add it to muffin tins instead! I actually double, sometimes even triple the recipe for my Mamma Chia Seed Frittata.

The best part about baking the recipe in muffin tins are all the left overs. They’re great when someone needs a quick snack.

I mean let’s face it, after all of those mimosas the only thing Mrs. Claus wants to cook is herself, in a nice hot bath, while sipping on her bottomless mimosa!

So here is my recipe for my Chia Seed Frittata Muffins which complement as a side to any Christmas Brunch!
