Calling All Cooks ~ Breakfast Recipes

[Susanna]

My house got written up in a travel book as a "Bed and Breakfast"! I do have a vacation rental, but I don't do mornings, much less cook in the morning. Anyway, I'm biting the bullet and need recipes for easy to make dishes to serve for breakfast. Anything you can come up with to help me would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Calling All Cooks ~ Breakfast Recipes

Hey Susanna, good for you.
How about Kucheen(sweet pastry)
Frittata, started on top of the stove and finished in the oven.
Buttermilk pancakes? If it sounds ok, I give you the recipes.
The kucheen can be made with local island fruits.

Re: Calling All Cooks ~ Breakfast Recipes

Thanks everyone...keep those thinking caps on, cause I definitely need help. Don, a lot of the fruits in Jamaica can be found here in Mexico, so come with the recipes. One thing we can't find is buttermilk, so do you know how to make a substitute. I'd especially like that and any recipes for stuff that can be made the night before and cooked in the morning..hahah..you know night time is the right time in my book.

I know this one will be a hit with your guests.

Coconut Macadamia Nut Pancake
=============================

3 cups Flour
1/2 tb Salt
6 tb Sugar
1/2 tb Baking soda
1 tb Baking powder
1 pt Buttermilk (I use soy milk)
3 Eggs; beaten
4 tb Melted butter
1/2 pt Coco-Lopez (condensed coconut liquid)
1/2 c Toasted coconut; shredded
1/2 c Toasted macadamia nuts; - chopped
4 tb Vegetable oil (or olive oil)
1 c Fresh pineapple; diced
12 oz Maple syrup

Sift the flour, salt, sugar, baking soda and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and Coco-Lopez. Add wet ingredients to dry. Stir with a spoon to combine; batter will be slightly lumpy. Stir in coconut and macadamia nuts. Brush griddle with oil, and heat to 400 degrees. Drop batter onto griddle using a 4-ounce ladle. Cook about 3 minutes, until done on both
sides. Serve garnish with pineapple, maple syrup, and butter.

Re: Calling All Cooks ~ Breakfast Recipes

This is fantastic, and most of the work HAS to be done ahead (the night before). You can get it ready, prepare your coffee except turning it on to brew and go to bed. Next morning, all you have to do is put it in, then settle down for an hour to "wake up". It is a complete breakfast, other than beverages, in one dish, and reheats very well. (BTW, depending on where you are, if you can't find Bob Evans brand, use Jimmy Dean or the like.)

BREAKFAST STRATA

1 LB. Zesty Bob Evans Sausage (or use 2 regular)
1 LB. Regular Bob Evans Sausage (both sausages cooked and drained and set aside)
10 eggs, beaten
10 slices white bread, cubed
3 cups whole white milk
10 oz. Package frozen asparagus spears (thawed)
2 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp flour (stirred into melted butter)
1 Tbsp dry mustard
2 Tsp Basil
1 Tsp Salt
2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
Whip eggs in bowl and add all ingredients, except asparagus. Add sausage last. Marinate, covered, in refrigerator overnight (no less than six hours).

Grease 13 x 9 x 2 pan. Cook @ 350, uncovered, for 60-70 minutes. Asparagus should be layered first, before pouring other ingredients into pan.

Re: Calling All Cooks ~ Breakfast Recipes

Don are those measurements calling for ounces, by measuring cup or by weight? The recipe sounds great and while we don't have fresh mangos year round, I can get the frozen mango cheeks any time of the year.

Thanks for the buttermilk substitute ~ I cana't even get get buttermilk powder here, but maybe I'll find it when I go back to the states next time.

Sandi - come bring it girl...the welcome mat is out. Those pancakes are not low-cal so they will surely be a hit...I'll just have to remember that they're not for me [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] .

Can I use something besides curry leaves, cause we can't get that here. I have curry powder (Blue Mountain, what else?).

Green Biscuit, the only place I ever found Bob Evans Sausage was in Illinois when I went back there for my uncle's funeral. There was a Bob Evans restaurant across the street from my Hotel and I went there for breakfast. Had biscuits and gravy and nearly had one of those peak sexual experiences they were so so so oh oh oh ahhhhhhhhhhh good! I think sometimes we can get Jimmy Dean's at Sam's Club here. So will make do. That recipe sounds like it would harden your arteries in a minute, but it also sounds yummy.

Thanks for all. I'm waitin on Grandma and Simmy to pass through and have been downloading some things from Food.com, so I should be set.

God, I can't believe I'm going to be fixing breakfast. I think some mornings it will be Granola, yogurt, fresh juice cause I can't see doing a big cooking thing 7 days a week. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Sorry, I'm just getting back with you. It is by measuring cup. I try only to use wieighted measures when making bread or large quantity baked items. Do you like Briouche?

Re: Calling All Cooks ~ Breakfast Recipes

How about simple dishes that keep well for a while in chafing dishes, buffet style?
Like...
scrambled eggs
bacon, sausage, and other meats
potatoes
fresh fruits (whole and/or sliced or chunks)
coffee
juices

These are all easy to make... 'forgiving', if you get distrcted for a very short while, so long as you don't burn them dreadfully... last a good while at a buffet table in chafing dishes, so you don't even have to serve tables 'properly'... and farily easy to celan up after!

Congrats and good luck. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
