Great topic!
You can make all sorts of freeze-ahead breakfasts in a muffin tin:
- Mix eggs, a bit of ham or bacon, maybe some green onion, maybe some tomato or salsa /place in a sprayed muffin tin
- Or place a small circle of bread into the muffin tin /use the same eggs as above
- Or arrange a small tortilla or a piece of ham into the muffin tin /use the same eggs as above
- Or squeeze hash browns into a little "nest" /use the same eggs as above
And bake 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Freeze them and save in a ziploc bag. Great for a FAST breakfast.
Eggs Benedict:
Bottom layer -- traditionally it's an English muffin, but we prefer a soft roll torn in half
Meat layer -- traditionally good quality ham, but we sometimes sub in a thin pork chop or fried chicken
Top with a poached egg -- no substitutions allowed!
Hollandaise sauce -- again, no substitutions allowed
Quiche -- if your husband won't eat it, tell him it's Egg Pie and watch it disappear -- good warm or cold:
Start with a pie crust -- I use store bought because I'm just not skilled in pie crust -- pre-bake your crust
Mix up: 4 eggs, 1 cup milk or Half and Half, 1 cup cheese of any type, Salt, pepper, maybe some paprika
Add in whatever bacon, ham, green peppers, green peas, asparagus, or whatever leftovers you have -- I like lots of mix-ins
Bake 30-40 minutes 'til knife comes out clean at 375 degrees
Alternate: Crustless individual quiches ready to take to work: Spoon egg mixture into sprayed short Mason jars.
Huveros Rancheros -- this makes a nice dinner:
Two small corn tortillas for each person, warmed
Place one tortilla on the plate, top with refried beans, cheese, salsa (or other Mexican sauce)
Top with second tortilla, top with the same items ... and a poached egg on top
If you have too many eggs, you can beat them (in twos) and freeze them in a small ziplock.
