I too am in need of some quick recipes to feed alot of people. I just read about a baked french toast recipe, sounds yummy. what other ideas do you have out there. thanks

I know there are several recipes for hash brown caserole. I also believe there is a "baked scrambled egg" caserole recipe. Hope these help you.

(I have made the baked French Toast....it is yummy!)

 

[whirlsy]

when you made the baked french toast did you add any cinnamon? the recipe doesnt call for it and I just cant imagine it without it.

I make egg nog bread french toast usually.

Make the egg nog bread in the bread maker and then make french toast as usual.

Title: EGGNOG BREAD
Categories: Breads, Machine, Holidays
Yield: 1 Loaf

2 tb Sugar
1 pk Active dry yeast
2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 tb Butter
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Nutmeg
3/4 c Eggnog; at room temp.*

I adapted a recipe from my food processor bread book
for my b/m for the eggnog bread which you read about.
Here is what I did; you may need to make adaptations
for whatever type of b/m you have. Play with it, if it
looks too sticky, add flour (1 tbsp. at a time.) If
too dry, add liquid, also one tbsp. at a time. Then
let her rip!!!!!!!!
* Maybe as little as 1/2 c; (I took the chill off of
it in the microwave) Place ingred. in the B/M
according to your manufacturers' directions. Then
adjust by adding flour or liquid as needed This made a
real moist, light lg. loaf. It rose to the top of my
breadmaker. I used the SWEET BREAD cycle and turned
the lightness or darkness button slightly lighter than
the center mark (I have a Welbilt). Let me know your
results, we sure enjoyed it! FROM: LISA CRAWLEY

Breakfast Crescent Pizza

1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 pound ground Sausage (mild or hot), cooked, crumbled, drained

1 cup frozen southern-style (shredded) hash browns, thawed

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

5 eggs

1 teaspoon mustard (optional)

¼ cup jalepeno pepper finely chopped (optional)

Salt & black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease a 12-inch round pizza pan or a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Arrange crescent rolls on bottom of pan; flatten and press edges up sides of pan slightly. Spoon sausage over crust. Sprinkle with potatoes; top with cheddar cheese and peppers. Whisk eggs, mustard, and milk in mixing bowl until well blended; pour over casserole. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until set and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Makes 6 servings.


Fruit Pizza

1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough

8 oz cream cheese

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup sugar

Apricot preserves

Your choice of fruits - seedless grapes halved, strawberries hulled and halved, pineapple tidbits, blueberries, sliced banana (lightly coat with lemon juice to help prevent browning), sliced kiwi, mandarin orange sections, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread cookie dough onto pizza pan and bake approx 8 - 10 minutes then allow to cool. Mix softened cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together, spread onto cooled cookie/pizza. Add thin layer of Apricot preserves. Arrange various fruits on top in a fun/pretty pattern. Slice and enjoy.

We do a brunch & kind of "graze" from the time we get up until about an hour before we leave for the "family" gathering.

Last year we made Strawberry Banana Bread (Wilderness Lodge), Au Gratin Potatoes (Cinderella's Royal Table), Breakfast Casserole (from Tiggerkeeper - with Jimmy Dean's Maple sausage) - among other things. I think the absolute "hit" was Boma's Frunch - I had to make a 2nd batch & there were only 6 of us!

I'm thinking about trying a recipe for Peach French Toast - it's a casserole you make the night before. I'm just having trouble deciding what to leave out because we traditionally have Fruit Stollen!

I dont have a specific recipe, but I think using eggnog instead of milk with cinnamon will make for a tasty batch of waffles.

 

[ByTheSea]

We do these two traditionally because all the work is done the night before (usually while I wait for certain people to fall asleep) and you just throw them in the oven in the morning.

Overnight Omelets

It's so easy, it sounds weird but try it, you'll like it!

You can make it in an 8x8 or 9x13 cake pan, depending on how many people you need to feed.

White Bread (basic sliced sandwich bread)
Eggs
Milk
*One ham steak (precooked) cut into cubes
*One package of shredded cheese

Spray cake pan with PAM cooking spray (bottom and sides)

Remove the crusts from 6-8 pieces of bread (more for 9x13 inch pan)

Put a layer of bread slices to cover the bottom of the pan (cut some slices to fit the edges)

Scatter the ham pieces and half of the cheese across the layer of bread.

Place a second layer of bread slices (crusts removed) on top of the ham/cheese.

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

In a bowl, mix up 6 Large eggs and 2 cups of milk (I use non-dairy creamer myself) Gentle pour the egg/milk mixture over the bread, it should completely drench the bread all around. (For 9x13 pan I usually use 9 or 10 eggs with about 3 cups of milk)

Cover with foil and put in the fridge overnight.

In the a.m. put in a 350 degree oven still covered with foil, remove the foil after 45 minutes. It will be done in another 15-30 minutes, check by inserting a knife in the center, if it comes out clean it's done.

Cut and serve like cake, The bread disappears and it appears like a huge thick fluffy omelette.

*We've also used sausage (cook it first) and other omelette ingredients for the middle, but prefer a diced up ham steak and sharp cheddar cheese ourselves.

Carmel Rolls (extra gooey)

One package frozen dinner roll DOUGH. (White not wheat)
1 package Vanilla or Butterscotch Jello pudding (NOT instant, the kind you cook)
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1 stick margarine (or butter)

The night before:
Generously grease an 8x8 in pan (you can do this in 9x13 as well, just double everything except one package of frozen dinner roll dough is usually enough)

Note: Pam works only with a good non-stick pan, I recommend using butter flavored Crisco for other pans.

Spinkle chopped nuts across the bottom of the pan.

Place (still frozen) dinner roll dough in bottom of pan. You want to have about 1/2 inch of empty space between each roll. Place them in an erratic pattern, not straight rows. Approx. 11-12 will be plenty for an 8x8 inch pan. (Note: you can use regular white bread dough, semi frozen and cut into pieces about 1-1.5 inch squared)

In a small sauce pan, combine Butter/Pudding mix/Brown sugar, cook and mix until smooth, no longer crystally.

Gently pour the pudding/brown sugar mixture over all of the bread dough rolls in the pan.

Cover with a moistened kitchen towel and place in a safe spot (I put it on TOP on the refrigerator, NOT IN)

Go to bed.

When you wake up, remove the towel, it should have risen quite a bit. Put uncovered in a 350 degree oven for approx. 20-30 minutes. Remove when golden brown.

Let them sit for approx. 2-3 minutes. Place a large piece of foil over the top of the pan, and a large enough plate or platter over the foil. Flip the pan over and the gooey caramal rolls should pop right out.

For all you French Toast casserole makers, just seven small words:

DO NOT FORGET THE FRESH GRATED NUTMEG

It will make a world of difference, trust me on this.

I usually just make fruit salad for breakfast.
