Savory work breakfast recipe?

[stretchad]

Any recipes you'd recommend on the savory side, like an egg casserole/quiche? Bonus points if it reheats okay in a microwave, or is okay to eat at room temp (I can bake that morning, but my commute w/ daycare drop off will take about 45-1hr). Only need to serve about 6-8 ppl.

ETA: This for an informal work breakfast on Xmas eve, hence the reference to work and my commute :-)

Someone made this strata for a brunch I went to last weekend and it was great. I think it would hold up in those conditions.

I'm making sausage balls for my work breakfast. Most likely this recipe, but I have not tested it myself. They are good at room temp.

Brown a pound of sausage.
Cut up a can of butter biscuits into 8ths and scatter on bottom of 9x13.
Cover biscuits with cooked sausage
Top with bag of shredded cheese
Whisk 8-10 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt and pepper in separate bowl
Pour egg over biscuits/sausage/cheese
Bake at 350 for 35-40mins

Reheats really well

I make something similar, using this recipe. I use Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage instead of hot sausage. They are so good with a side of syrup.

Did you mean to link the same recipe as me? If so, I'm definitely using it because it must be a winner!

Thanks for posting this. I was just thinking I need to make a list for the Christmas breakfast we host.

Also sausage balls are super easy to make ahead. I make them and freeze them in freezer safe bags. I put them in evenly so they freeze well and easy to quickly put on a baking sheet and bake first thing in the morning.

My mom makes a delicious quiche, but I have no recipe.

She just tailors it to who is eating- meaty vs veggies or some combo. It reheats really well.

Nope, I was being an idiot. This is the recipe I use: www.plainchicken.com/2011/09/cream-cheese-sausage-balls-football.html  

The recipe you posted had double the shredded cheese, which is probably why they didn't hold their shape as well.

This is the bomb. Assemble the night before, bake in the morning. It reheats beautifully and is just fine room temp!
(you can totally omit the mushrooms and use cream of chic if you desire)

sju1982 I saw that plain chicken one too while I was searching. It was my runner up so I will go with it since you've had success. Thanks!
