| We are hosting a Family Breakfast the morning after DD's Wedding. My sister and I have been looking at Bisquick Recipes to make a couple days ahead and then just put in the oven that morning. We are looking to feed 30-40 family members ( both sides), any SIMPLE recipes that you have to feed a big group would greatly be appreciated. |

Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup, heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Makes 12 servings. I have made the brown sugar syrup the day before and popped it into the microwave to get it hot. Summer

Bagels, with all those new 'fruited cream cheeses'... Just some cut up fresh fruit with/without yogurt as a dip... Scrambled eggs (pour some cream, chives, salt, pepper to taste) scramble soft..(you can add cooked crumbled bacon or ham..make'em western, add onions and green peppers...all this can be done ahead of time in a food processor) grated cheese on the top (if you like) Muffins are always a hit....they can be frozen ahead of time. you can always get large loaves of french bread, slice (or have sliced) butter one side, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, broil till bubbly and serve with yogurt and fruit (simple old cinnamon toast is always good) Fruit juices...(with or without champagne or gingerale) Chrys

How about breakfast crossiants? (sp?) put any breakfast meats, eggs, cheese, etc. on them and toast lightly. I've seen recipes for breakfast pizza and breakfast casseroles using eggs, sausage, & cheese. The breakfast pizza used cresent rolls for the crust. Try recipes.com. If there will be many children there, you might want to buy some of those single serve cereals. hmmm....I was just thinking about a function that I went to that served breakfast. They had all kinds of muffins and sweet rolls on trays, doughnuts, biscuits with different kinds of jam on the side, fresh fruit, and juice and coffee. It looked simple, but very nice. |

I think you are very brave! Fancy something easy to make but a little different? A popular dish for "proper" breakfast over here is kedgeree. Traditionally given in big houses before carriages were called and guests departed after the ball. Real Cinderella stuff! It is, however, easy to simplify and very easy to cook in large quantities - just multiply it up and tell guests it's a traditional Scottish breakfast. The most I've ever cooked this for was 40 people afrer a Burns Night supper (haggis having been served at dinner). Don't know if you can get smoked haddock but you can substitute with any form of smoked fish and add extra hard boiled egg to fill it out a bit - or add a few prawns. You can make it in batches and it will keep warm in the oven covered with tin foil (is that aluminium foil in North America) Scottish Recipes - Kedgeree Despite the growth in popularity of Indian and Ethnic restaurants, you may find the inclusion of Curry powder in a traditional Scottish recipe to be a bit of a surprise. It shouldn't really be, when you consider that it was a Scottish regiment (who served all over the globe) serving in India that married local curry with smoked fish. Ingredients (to serve four people): 2 fillets of smoked haddock, bones and skin removed 2 hard boiled eggs, shelled and chopped finely (some people add more than 2 eggs) 350g/7 oz long grain basmati rice (or brown rice) 50g/ 2oz stick of butter 750ml chicken stock Small onion, peeled and finely chopped One bay leaf Half teaspoon grated nutmeg Ground pepper (to taste) 300ml cups of milk to poach the fish One teaspoon curry powder (or to your own taste!) Method: Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Cook the onion gently in the butter and add the rice, stirring to coat the rice in butter. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Add the bay leaf, cover and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the stock. Remove the bay leaf at the end of cooking. Poach the fish in hot milk for five minutes and drain just before the rice is ready. Flake the fish. When the rice is ready, stir in the flaked fish, chopped eggs, curry powder, nutmeg and pepper, using a fork to stir the flaked fish (to prevent the rice from breaking up). Kedgeree is often served with softly scrambled eggs but you may prefer mashed potatoes. |

My brother and sister-in-law did this after my neice was married as a lot of us were from far away and they wanted to give us a warm send-off and get a little more of a visit in. They did the pancakes and scrambled eggs, bagels,etc. too. Here is what I make for our Christmas morning brunch: This will feed about 10 people at least if served with eggs, etc. Hash Brown Casserole 1 - 32 oz package hash browns ¼ cup butter melted 1 can cream of mushroom soup 16 oz sour cream salt and pepper to taste 2 cups grated cheddar cheese 1 medium onion, chopped Mix all together in a very large bowl until well mixed. Spray or lightly oil by hand a large casserole dish. Pour mixture into the casserole dish and bake for 45 min – 1 hr Or until potatoes are soft. Enjoy Violet I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.
