Christmas Brunch... what to bring?

[marina007]

I think a quiche would work well if you're ok with it served not hot. I love quiche, Even @ room temp. If you have a great recipe for a potato or orzo pasta salad maybe? As they do well cold...

[tacokick]

Quiche is commonly served room temp so I'd do that.

[bexporter]

Fruit for sure. Then how about oven potatoes or hashbrowns?

[tacokick]

Or a Spanish tortilla www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/spanish-tortilla-recipe.html

Could you do something at home and keep it warm in a crockpot at their house? A lot of crockpot dishes are oven safe so you could cook it in your oven before going over. A hash brown casserole sounds amazing to me.

[VillainV]

Fruit or a cold cut tray? Quiche would be fine, or a frittata (mostly on the stove with a few minute top-off in the oven).

Agree

Chicken salad on croissants. I'd assemble once there & use a cooler to transport chicken salad safely. There are recipes w dried cranberries which are both good and festive!

[Lilac]

I vote for a fruit salad. Something lighter and healthy!

[gardengal]

Oh, another idea would be parfaits. Again, you'd need to assemble once there & transport yogurt in cooler, but you could buy the granola & prep the fruit in advanced

With that menu, definitely fruit. Or fruit parfaits as garden gal suggested. If someone else brings fruit, then I like the quiche idea. Why are they serving french toast AND toast?

[lindyanne]

Quiche, cinnamon rolls, baked oatmeal

I started reading recipes and now I really want hash brown casserole. LOL probably not a good idea though. maybe for dinner.

what about cheesy grits? I could easily commandeer a burner...

I love me some cheesy grits, but I find further north there is less enthusiasm for them.

Huge bowl of fresh fruit- pineapple, canteloupe, honeydew, blueberries, strawberries

Toast and French Toast are not the same thing.  I don't put butter and syrup on my toast but I do on my French Toast. I don't eat both either, if I have French Toast I skip the toast.

[dexteroni]

What about a savory baked item that doesn't have to be served warm? I'm thinking of something like crescent rolls filled with something like sausage and cheese, or ham and cheese, or spinach and cheese. Basically just make sure it has cheese in it. lol.

ETA: And yes to fruit. The menu sounds like it could use something light. I would cut up each kind of fruit and refrigerate it separately, then drain off any excess juice and mix them in the morning before you leave. That will keep them from getting too mushed together with the others fruits overnight.

French toast is its own entree. Regular toast goes with the eggs that are the other entree.
