For those who were lucky to attend my Brunch, I have collected the recipes I made here. Most of these are on my blog already (linked) but I'll share them on my new URL too. The quiches are new recipes and both were a hit! Everything else are tried and true recipes we all like here. The french toast bake and breakfast casserole were other faves. Same with the muffins and cinnamon roll! Heck, everything was a hit, and since I made about double of it all ( I fed 21 people!) everyone got to bring some home. I hope you're able to make some of these recipes and I hope you and your family enjoy them too! =)
Overnight French Toast Bake
12 slices day old french bread loaf (sliced 1" thick), cubed
5 eggs
2 1/2 Cups milk
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 C flavored liquid coffee creamer (optional but adds a yummy flavor!)
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and creamer; set aside. Placed bread cubes in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Pour egg mixture over all in pan (the bread will absorb most of this by morning). Cover and refrigerate for 8 hrs or overnight. Bake uncovered at 350' for 40-55 mins. It may take longer because it was chilled before going into the oven.
Breakfast Casserole with Ham & Sausage

Bake for covered, 40 to 45 minutes (or 55 to 60 minutes if made ahead and chilled) in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, remove foil last 10 minutes to brown the top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from pan. Makes 14 regular size muffins.
