Seeking easy/cheap Brunch recipes for 25 people
We are planning on having DD baptism at our house. Need to feed 25 people. Do you have any tried and true recipes? Thanks!
Re: Seeking easy/cheap Brunch recipes for 25 people
This is absolutely my favorite breakfast casserole. It makes a 9x13 pan. You can mix it up ahead of time, and then pop it in the oven when you need it. Also, I've reheated the leftovers with pretty good success. You could probably bake the whole thing ahead and then just reheat it when folks come over.
Cheese and Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Another thought...muffins are something you can easily make ahead, and it's easy for people to grab them and eat them. I like these:
Orange Cranberry Wheat Germ Muffins
and these from my blog:
Strawberry Muffins
Melon Salad
1 Watermelon, 1 honeydew, 2 cantaloupe, 1 pint blueberries and 1 cup ginger ale.
Cut melons into spoon sized chunks. Pick over blueberries to remove stems. Mix melon and berries together Pour one cup of ginger ale over.
french toast casserole
overnight egg and sausage casserole (I don't have a recipe for this, but basically I combine cooked ground sausage, hashbrowns, sauteed spinach and onions, eggs and cheese) or a few quiches
assorted bagels/cream cheese
assorted muffins/scones/pastries
fruit salad
honey-baked ham served at room temp with small hawaiian rolls and mustard
This is my absolute favorite breakfast casserole. My Mom makes it every year on Christmas and it's inhaled by everyone.
