Tomorrow is my turn for donut day. My coworkers know that I like to cook, and I've been jokingly accused of phoning it in for bringing storebought donuts lately.
So I'd like to step it up, and I do actually have time to bake something tonight.
I've done muffins a couple of times. tired of that.
What would make you oooh and aaaah if it showed up in your breakroom tomorrow morning? (or kitchen counter for the SAH's) It has to be something that can get at least mostly cooked tonight and served tomorrow morning. Sweet or savory items welcome. I have a microwave in the office and can bring a crockpot, but no toaster oven at work.
I've made several muffins and quick breads from King Arthur Flour's website. Every recipe I've tried from them has been excellent (especially love the sticky buns, morning glory muffins, and cinnamon rolls).
It's not the most exotic, but I would make out with someone if they brought in home made cinnamon buns. With icing of course.
Oh...I did that already too actually. They were subpar because I underbaked them. It was sad...I need to erase that failure with something new before I come back to them and make them right.
I thought you were a vegetarian? So are you saying they're tasty even without bacon? ::Imagines what the addition of bacon could do to their tasty factor...:: Sold! Thanks for this!

I like to do mini quiches in a muffin pan. You can use the pillsbury biscuit dough in the tube. Use about a third of one biscuit, smoosh it out flat as you can, and then line the cup with it. Fill about half way with whatever ingredients you want - green chilis, tomatos, onions, sausage, mushroom, bacon etc etc and some egg. I usually do a little cumin and cayenne, salt and pepper, but you can do whatever flavor combo you want there too. (Don't fill cups up too far with egg, or they spillover when the dough bakes and expands.) Add a good pinch of shredded cheese on top, and then bake until cheese bubbles and dough is toasty. Easy to make a variety for people, some w/ meat, some w/o, as well as other combos of ingredients/spices.
I sometimes a batch of these for the fridge for the week and then reheat quickly in microwave and eat on the way out the door.
My old supervisor used to bring in warm peach cobbler for our monthly unit meetings. It was delicious, although I know it's not exactly a breakfast food.
