Breakfast ideas needed
 

Hi everyone. I'm having unexpected (but welcomed) company this weekend. I need to come up with meals. I'm ok except for breakfast foods. Recently I saw a recipe for a breakfast egg muffin. The first thing you put in the muffin tin was a Pillsbury biscuit then eggs, etc. I can't find it anywhere. I was hoping someone here could help me find that recipe or some other quick, yummy breakfast foods.

Sorry, can't help with that one but I do have a recipe for 'creme breule french toast'. It's not particularly quick but you can make it up the night before and then pop it in the oven in the morning after reaching room temp. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pull the recipe. It's quite rich.

This sounds really good. I'd love to see the recipe.

Go to Pillsbury.com. Put Bacon Quiche Biscuit Cups in the Search box.

something I like to make is a a hashbrown/egg dish... You brown a whole package of hashbrowns in a skillet with a little olive oil, beat 6/8 eggs pour over the hashbrowns top with shredded cheddar cheese and cook on low heat until the top is set, then I pop it in a 350 oven for about 5 mins.. I cut it into pie wedges and serve with biscuits or toast.. Serves 6 to 8 depending on the size you cut it... My guests rave about it. very filling

I make a variety of breads up and bake them in small pans. I place them in the freezer and take them out, slice them and serve them with fresh fruit and butter or a cream cheese fruit spread. This goes great with morning coffee and is so quick and easy. I have date nut,chocolate, banana nut, zucchini/pineapple,apple, strawberry, pumpkin, and lemon in the freezer just waiting for unexpected guests. This works good for anytime! This is even great to have on hand for a quick covered dish or thank you gift for a hostess.

Your idea sounds great! What receipes do you use for the breads? I fix banana-nut mini loaves for Christmas gifts. Just wish I had a deep freeze! These make good gifts for sick people visitors helping them. mgrubbs (Marilyn)

This sounds "weird", but it's really good.

Make-Ahead Scrambled Eggs for a Crowd

Eggs
Add-ins: Red peppers, Onions, Ham, etc.
1 T 7up per every 2 eggs

Just scramble it all together, put them in an oven-safe dish, and put them in the oven on "warm" until ready to serve.
The 7Up keeps the eggs from getting hard; but more importantly, it keeps them staying yellow instead of turning green when making a lot.

ALSO

Sausage Egg Bake

2 Packages Regular Jimmy Dean Sausage (or spicy, if you like that)
2 Cups Grated Cheddar Cheese

1. Butter a 9 x 13 glass dish and pour croutons in the bottom.
2. Brown sausage and place on top of croutons.
3. Mix milk, eggs and cheese. Pour over top. Mix ¼ cup milk with cream of mushroom soup and mushrooms and pour on top.
4. Refridgerate overnight before baking.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 – 60 minutes.
A GREAT make-ahead dish!

You made me very hungry.

Honestly, if you want quick, easy and variety in the morning, get a package of single serve cereals and offer some muffins or bagels, fresh fruit and yoghurt as well. You really don't have to get up early to put something in the oven. As long as the coffee/tea is hot and plentiful, there should be no complaints.

And if there are, just direct them to the nearest Dennys!!

I had to make the lemon coffee cake this morning, and I must report that my husband loves it. I suggested we give some to the neighbors since it was huge for just the two of us, and he said he didn't want to give any of it away! (What a little piggy he is sometimes! I think I'll cut it and individually wrap it for the freezer so we can get out what we want when we want.)

I need to comment that she has two listings of vanilla and none of the baking soda mentioned in the instructions, so I think the second is really meant to be baking soda. (the 1/2 tsp) That's the way I made it , and it turned out okay.

Here's the Pilsbury recipe link

Thanks everyone for all the recipes and suggestions. I did a couple of these and plan on doing more of them for my next get together.

you can make this using raison bread and cut it up into pieces or lay it in the pan and spreadcreamcheese on each slice then add another layer of bread.You can put cream cheese in little dolips all over the pan in the bread then pour the liquid mixture on top and bake.My grand kids love it.I put peacons in it too. We use syrup on it,like french toast. enjoy.

We buy sausage and scramble it and store in the freezer. I will scramble hash browns and toss in some of the sausage, and crack a couple eggs and scramble till done, with seasonings of choice, maybe with dices onions or bell pepper too. Then I take a portion size and put in a heated tortilla and top with shredded cheese for an on the go breakfast or fast hot breakfast at home.
