Caramelized Onion, Spinach and Gruyere Cheese Strata With Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes

Blueberry Blintzes
The key to this recipe is all in the assembly: Set up your station in advance and make the blintzes as you would a burrito. Once they're prepped, a quick pan-fry and trip to the oven finishes them off.

Spice Raisin Pancakes with Rum-Raisin Cream Cheese Glaze
Raisin haters, beware: These flapjacks are filled with 'em. Bobby Flay rehydrates the dried grapes by simmering them with orange juice and rum before adding them to the pancake mixture, then he uses that soaking liquid to make a spiked cream cheese glaze.

Cornmeal Pancakes with Orange-Infused Maple Syrup*
Though hearty in texture, these pancakes rise into tender puffs on the griddle thanks to a cup of buttermilk. Don't stack them until serving though, as they'll compact and lose their fluffiness. Whipped butter and orange-anise maple syrup are perfect pancake smothering agents.

Festive Fruit Salad
With its orange-maple-vanilla syrup, this fruit salad is almost as good as pancakes. Pile it on top of a stack or serve it as a colorful side dish with your Christmas spread.
