if you had to make breakfast two days in a row, one day for 16 people and the next day for 18 people. what the heck would you make and how much of it

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) Apr 3 '12, 09:23

i think day one will be a big plate of cheesy scrambled eggs, a breakfast casserole (bread, eggs, sausage type), a whack of toast (how much toast do that many people eat??), and maybe bacon.

day 2 i was thinking pancakes with a bunch of fresh fruit and maybe canadian bacon, but is that an insane amount of pancakes to try to make on a traditional stove?

the quantities of this are just impossible for me to figure out realistically.

Responses:

Your day one sounds too complex. At least skip the toast, if there's going to be bread in the casserole. -- nm - mara Apr 3, 10:16

Reservations at Denny's. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 3, 09:43
A pot of oatmeal would be involved. Or cream of wheat. -- nm - con_carne Apr 3, 09:36 4
- Do you bake bread? - con_carne Apr 3, 10:07
- Also re: your pancakes question. You will need a griddle, of course, but once made just keep them warm using the oven and foil -- nm - con_carne Apr 3, 10:01
- So you don't like the people you're serving breakfast to? -- nm - Stephen, loving the Lady Irish! Apr 3, 09:42 1
  - I wasn't gonna say anything... -- nm - con_carne Apr 3, 10:09
breakfast casserole is what I made when I got married for the family -- nm - Remlik Apr 3, 09:30
coffee cake or quiche can be made ahead. -- nm - iceberg jones Apr 3, 09:29 2
- also cheese strata (if you make that, I'm crashing). -- nm - iceberg jones Apr 3, 09:32 1
  - yogurt and granola. blueberry muffins! -- nm - iceberg jones Apr 3, 09:34
the simple answer is: I wouldn't. I would go out to breakfast instead. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 3, 09:28 1
- we are going to be at a cottage, there is no 'going out.' -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:29
I'd make a bunch of different quiches beforehand (they freeze well and can be thawed out the night before), a huge fruit salad - Diva Apr 3, 09:27 2
- mmmmm, cheese grits. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 3, 09:28
- ah, interesting, -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:28
pancakes makes a lot of sense. Or buy a bagel tray and have spread options (butter, cream cheese, lox) -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 09:27 3
- oh, bagels! obviously, thanks. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:27 2
  - get more than one toaster. -- nm - iceberg jones Apr 3, 09:29 1
    - right, i'll take mine to go with theirs. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:29
The scrambled eggs is a good idea - if you want to stretch it, make a piperade - Roger More Apr 3, 09:26 2
- mmm, french toast. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:38 1
  - you could make baked french toast to make it easier. mmmm, baked french toast with honey and sugar. (when do I go to seattle?) -- nm - iceberg jones Apr 3, 09:39
Hello MacDonald's? Yes, I'd like to order 3 dozen of your finest breakfast sandwiches please -- nm - Beaker Apr 3, 09:24 3
- yeah, that's not happening. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:25 2
  - but it is their "finest" -- nm - Beaker Apr 3, 09:28 1
    - mmm, egg mcmuffin. my favorite post-cholesterol-test breakfast. -- nm - loosilu Apr 3, 09:28
Cheesy scrambled eggs, home style potatoes, and sausage and/or bacon -- nm - Stephen, loving the Lady Irish! Apr 3, 09:24 2
- both days? i kind of want to change it up. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:25 1
  - Switch up the potatoes with pancakes then? - Stephen, loving the Lady Irish! Apr 3, 09:38
addendum - would a 'cereal bar' be okay? like four giant bowls of different cereals to choose from, and fruit for toppings with giant jugs of milk? -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 09:24 2
- offer lactaid or soymilk maybe? -- nm - loosilu Apr 3, 09:26
- I think so. -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 09:26
