Brunch Time with Eggland's Best! Baked French Toast, Breakfast Casserole, Cinnamon Rolls, Quiche Cups, Blueberry Muffins and more!

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
6 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (30 oz bag Ore-Ida Country Style Hash Browns)

1/2 pound diced ham

2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Arrange hash brown potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with cheese, sausage, ham and green onions.
In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, evaporated milk, pepper, and salt. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture in the dish. The dish may be covered and refrigerated at this point for several hours or overnight.
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.

Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from pan. Makes 14 regular size muffins.
