Much is made about the main course during a holiday meal, and for good reason. Food features prominently during the holiday season, and many a lasting memory is made around the family dinner table each December.

When hosting overnight guests, a relaxing homemade brunch can make for the perfect way for hosts and their guests to ease into a day. Hosts looking to plan a simple, flavorful holiday brunch can utilize this recipe for “Mushroom Sausage Frittata” courtesy of Lines+Angles.
