Negin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I'm inviting some people for breakfast this weekend. Would really appreciate your feedback, etc. Fresh fruit - of course Then, I'm thinking - something savory and something sweet. Ideally, I would prefer to avoid last-minute preparation by the stove - as in pancakes, etc. I would love to have both savory and sweet be baked/casserole-type stuff - as in a Savory Casserole and a Baked French Toast, but it would look silly to have two 9x13 inch pans on the table ... SAVORY A Baked Casserole (never made, but should be fairly uncomplicated, I think) - Sausage Hash Brown OR Bacon Hash Brown SWEET I make great Belgian Waffles -but, they do require a bit of last-minute work. Not too much, but a bit. Muffins - no last-minute prep Any other ideas? Thank you so much. :) Edited December 8, 2011 by Negin in Grenada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Mom Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I voted casserole and muffins. Waffles are great, but toppings can be messy. I try to avoid messy dishes for guests if possible. Of course, I'm a klutz and would drip syrup on my shirt. That casserole looks amazing. Sure wish I knew how to make it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 How about making one of the casseroles in muffin cups to change up the look? The casserole looks yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joules Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I like to make quiche for breakfast get-togethers. I do cook them the day of, but a large one is in the oven for 45 minutes so there isn't "last-minute" work. They are usually round for some visual variety. I haven't done it, but I know that you can make them in little rounds also. (But those would cook quickly, so may not be the best choice?)

ThisIsTheDay Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Since it's a breakfast-specific invitation, I'd choose both. I voted for casserole and muffins. My casserole would be more quiche-like, because I would want something to balance the bread/starch of the muffins. (Instead of muffins, I personally would make more of a coffee cake. It seems easier for *me* to make, and I could make it more over-the-top gooey and sweet than muffins.) I love the breakfast invitation idea!!

sassenach Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Muffins, because they are neater. I don't like syrupy foods when I am eating with people (other than family). Also, I would go with an egg based casserole. I like the quiche idea. Quiche and muffin, mmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 You are so very helpful. Thank you. :) I'm thinking: Some kind of Casserole (as above) Coffee Cake OR Muffins and ... what do you think of also doing a Baked French Toast? (or is that too much)? Thanks again.

stripe Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 How about casserole + fresh fruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 definitely the casserole and muffins. You could bake the muffins ahead of time to save on prep work that morning. Looks YUMMY!!! What time should I come?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myeightkiddies Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Casserole, muffins, and fruit would be a great combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Casserole and muffins. Make the muffins the day before. Assemble the casserole the night before. That way all you have to do is pop it in the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Casserole and muffins. (Though, honestly, I'd probably make a meat and a veggie quiche for the savories, and then muffins and fruit for the sweet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The casserole looks delicious. I'd go the fruit, muffin and casserole route...Coffee cake is always good.

Negin Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Again, thank you so much everyone. :grouphug: Quick and rather idiotic question: I'm preparing the casserole this evening and baking tomorrow morning. I'm preparing the muffins tonight also. If I bake them tomorrow morning, so that they're nice and warm - that might not work, right? The flavor and smell of the cheese/bacon/mushrooms/onions would affect the muffins, correct? :confused: I wanted the muffins to be warm. I guess I need to bake the muffins tonight, let them cool, and then, if time allows, quickly heat them in the morning ... no microwave in our home. I could place them on the stovetop while the casserole is baking. Looks YUMMY!!! What time should I come?:D Tomorrow morning, hope you can make it. :D Wish you could all make it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room temperature muffins are jsut fine! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thank you all so much. Breakfast was great, thanks to all your helpful suggestions. :) The casserole was very yummy, even my dh, who doesn't normally like that sort of thing had two servings and loved it.
