Thanksgiving breakfast event food

[DefenseAgainstTheDarkArts22]

I have a thanksgiving breakfast that I'll be going to that I was hoping someone had some tested recipe ideas for.  Have to leave at 9am, not sure how much I trust the oven I'll be using. It can do basic jobs but I wouldn't trust it to make bread.

We already have

french toast

ham

mashed potatoes

corn

cranberry

hash brown bites

What about an overnight egg bake in the crockpot? I have this one saved in my recipes, but I can't remember if I've used it before

Seems like a bit of an odd assortment so far?
Fresh fruit tray. With or without a fruit dip. Mini muffins or pastries

[mofongo]

I'd replace potatoes, corn and cranberry with something else? Quiche, breakfast casseroles, pastries, fruit.
If it's truly a breakfast.

This. If you’re trying to incorporate traditional Thanksgiving food into the meal I’d do corn muffins and a cranberry compote/jam, if you must.

Def. Add an egg. Quiche is heaven.

We usually do quiche, fruit, leftover rolls from TG dinner, and any other leftovers anybody wants to pull out of the fridge.

What about Scotch Eggs? I honestly don't know how to make them or how intense of process it is, but I use to go to a Christmas Day brunch and the host was a trained chef and always made these and they were always the biggest hit out of everything.

At something called a breakfast, I'd be looking for eggs. I'd probably do an egg casserole that I could make the night before and cook morning of.

Yeah this menu needs eggs. Egg casserole would be my top choice, but a quiche that only needs to be warmed lightly might be a better bet if you aren’t sure about the oven.

Are you traveling for this or is it local? If it’s local, you can bake or heat something in your own oven and then take it in an insulated carrier. We use the kind that fits a Pyrex 9x13 and it keeps stuff hot for an hour plus drive to DH’s hometown.

If you want an egg option for a breakfast menu, I’d suggest hard boiled eggs or deviled eggs. People love both & it’s easy to travel (especially just hard boiled, shells off)

I agree that it's an odd assortment. I'd definitely have an egg casserole as suggested and I'd add cinnamon rolls because everyone loves them.

Maybe a cranberry salad?

1 bag cranberries
1 navel orange - zest the rind, peel and remove the pith
1 cup sugar

Combine above in a food processor

Peel and chop 2 Granny Smith apples, combine with cranberry mix.

Can prep 2-3 days ahead to allow flavors to combine.

I make this every year instead of regular cranberries, and it’s great leftover with turkey - and on waffles or pancakes.

I was thinking of this as well.  I don't like sausage, so I swap out ham.

Costco has ready to eat quiches that are really good. I think it’s a 2 pack, one broccoli cheese and one ham and cheese. We eat them cold for brunch or dinner.

Also at Costco (I swear I do not work for Costco), they have 36 packs of already boiled and peeled hard boiled eggs. You could make deviled eggs super-easily using those.

This breakfast casserole is always a big hit and it has a stuffing base so it's Thanksgiving appropriate:

It's good reheated so you could always make it ahead of time.
