Breakfast Potluck Help!

[robinb]

My DD's summer swim team has a morning potluck before their first swim meet on Saturday. Her age group has been assigned either fruit platters or a breakfast casserole. We brought a fruit salad with honey and mint last year but I was hoping to do something a little different. We need to be there at *yawn* 6:30 am for warmups so I'm looking for something that I can serve cold or warm up quickly before I go to the meet.

Does anyone have an interesting breakfast casserole? I am leaning toward something with a bunch of veggies in it and maybe even something more veggie that egg-y. Another age group is bringing hash browns. If you have an interesting fruit salad please share that too!

Thanks!

Ham and Cheese Brunch Squares


1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups (8 ounces) grated Colby & Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
1 package (22.5 ounces) frozen toaster hash brown patties, thawed (10 patties)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened ( put it in a bowl and microwave)
12 eggs
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
8 ounces thickly sliced deli ham
4-5 green onions with tops, divided (1 cup sliced)
3 plum tomatoes
Additional coarsely ground black pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly brush Large Bar Pan with oil using Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush. Grate cheese using Ultimate Mandoline. Crumble hash browns over bar pan; press gently into an even layer. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over hash browns. Bake 13-15 minutes or until crust starts to brown and cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, in Classic Batter Bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth using Stainless Whisk. Gradually add eggs and black pepper; whisk until smooth. On Cutting Board, coarsely chop ham using Food Chopper. Slice green onions,
reserving ¼ cup of the tops for garnish. Place ham and remaining green onions into (8-in.) Sauté Pan; cook and stir over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until hot. Stir ham mixture into egg mixture using Small Mix ‘N Scraper®.
Remove bar pan from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. Pour egg mixture over crust. Return bar pan to oven; bake 6-8 minutes or until center is set. Meanwhile, slice tomatoes in half lengthwise using Utility Knife; scrape out seeds and dice. Remove bar pan from oven; top with remaining cheese, tomatoes and reserved green onions. Sprinkle with additional black pepper, if desired. Cut into squares and serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.
Yield: 12 servings


You can add use bacon or sausage instead of the ham or any other veggies!

What about a fruit pizza? Make your crust out of crescent roll dough, top with spreadable cream cheese, and top with apples, orange slices, etc.? My mom makes that for a lot of breakfast things that she does and it's easy and yummy!

You could make veggie and cheese stuffed breads. I just use the ready to go pizza dough at our grocery store (the kind in a plastic bag, not the Pillsbury stuff in a can). You could do a broccoli and cheese one, if you wanted some with meat you could do a meat one (pepperoni, ham, turkey, you name it you can put it in there, and you can change up the cheeses). Bake the day before, wrap in foil, and warm in the foil in the oven while you're getting ready. Then wrap in some towels to transport to keep them warm.

What about baked scrambled eggs? You can load them up with veggies and cheese, and baking should get it all nice & fluffy.

Sausage Egg Muffins! They're easy to eat (no utensils) and are really well received. I ususally don't use the peppers or onion, but add shredded cheese (a large pinch or two to each muffin).

1/2 pound ground pork sausage
12 eggs, beaten
1/2 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile
peppers, drained
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
2. Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, chiles, onion, garlic powder, salt pepper and sausage; mix well. Spoon 1/4 cup of sausage mixture into each prepared muffin cup.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until egg has set and a toothpick inserted into each 'muffin' comes out clean.

I agree with the fruit pizza above but I use sugar cookie dough for the crust

How about a french toast casserole? I like this one http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/French-Toast-Casserole/Detail.aspx You can make it the night before, bake it while you are getting ready in the morning, and you are good to go!

Here's an easy peasy one that has always been a hit (i've also just used cheddar):

Ham and Cheese Souffle:

16 slices white sandwich bread, crustless and cubed
1 lb. cubed ham
1 lb. grated sharp cheddar
1 1/2 c. grated swiss
6 eggs
1/2 tsp. onion salt
3 c. milk
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
3 c. crushed corn flakes
1/2 c. melted butter

Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish. Spread 1/2 bread cubes on bottom. Add ham and both cheeses. Cover with remaining cubes of bread. Mix eggs, milk, onion salt and mustard together and pour evenly over dish. Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate overnight. Next day, melt butter and mix in crushed corn flakes. Spread over top of dish and bake at 375 for 40 minutes
