Here is your GDC Morning WACH for Christmas Day 2012:

MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Good Day team!

First up, if you are looking for a yummy breakfast for the family, Chef Gary has you covered. Here are his recipes from the show:

Eggnog French toast

1 cup prepared eggnog (can use light version if you like)
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon eggnog extract (optional)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6-10 slices bread ( I like cinnamon raisin )
Finishing: maple syrup or butter and powdered sugar

Heat griddle or large frying pan on low. (If it is nonstick, you may not need any grease.)

Pour milk into a 4-cup measuring cup. Add eggs, extract and nutmeg. Whisk well to combine. Pour into a rectangular baking dish (7×11-ish) or large pie plate.

Submerge two pieces of bread side by side in eggnoggy liquid, moving them around with your fingers to make sure they are covered. After a minute or so, turn bread over by hand and submerge again.

After about two or so minutes total in the egg bath, bread should be pretty soggy. If it isn’t (perhaps because it was very dry to start with), let it soak a bit longer.

If griddle is nonstick, you probably won’t need any grease. If it isn’t nonstick, melt a little butter on the hot skillet. Place egg-soaked bread on hot griddle (and immediately put two more pieces of bread into the egg wash, to keep your momentum going).

Cook French Toast 1-2 minutes, and then, using a spatula, flip each piece over and cook another 1-2 minutes on the second side. Do the finger-poke test to make sure it is done – poke the bread with your finger and if it is squishy in the center, let it cook longer. If it is slightly firm, it is done.

Remove cooked toast to plate, and serve with real maple syrup or butter and confectioner’s sugar.

Serves 6-10 (depending on how much bread is used).

Cinna - Bacon Buns

2 cans of cinnamon rolls with icing (make sure that they are rolls not biscuits)
1 pack ready to eat fully cooked bacon

Open can of cinnamon rolls remove dough and unroll it onto counter smash the dough together to create a rectangle shape line about 6 pieces of bacon half way on dough roll dough with bacon in a log shape.

Using a sharp knife cut dough in to rolls you should yield 8- 10 pieces. Place rolls in round cake pan bake in pre heated oven at 400 degrees for about 10 - 12 mins. Ice each cinna - bacon roll with included icing serve immediately and enjoy

Interview with a jolly man

You might remember last year, Santa stopped by to spend some time with us. While on the couch, Tyler asked about his “winter weight,” what reindeer eat, and how he goes about his duties on Christmas.

Check it out HERE, and you will never wonder why Tyler gets coal.

Celebrating the birth of Jesus

As many people across the world are unwrapping gifts, Christains are using the day to celebrate and remember the birth of Jesus Christ. HERE is more.
