A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Our Favorite Recipes I need breakfast recipes!!!

For the next month or so Stephen will be working first shift, which means he will be leaving the house at 4:30 to go to work. Now, I'm a good wife, but I'm not THAT good....there is no way I'm getting out of bed that early to make him breakfast. So, I need recipes for breakfasts that I can make ahead of time and freeze so that all he needs to do is nuke them and be on his way. So, they can't be messy either because he will be eating while he's driving.

I know, I know!



Sorry I had to put that because that's what I'd do!

I'm sure that there are some things you can make to freeze, like a hash brown, sausage, egg casserole or something to that affect.

I'm sure someone will have some real answers......

breakfast taco's freeze well! I like to make up several dozen at one time, label them and freeze. I make a variety. egg sausage, egg bacon cheese, bacon cheese onion potatoe.....whatever.
I don't remember where your from? I'm not sure if some in the northern states do 'breakfast tacs's' (tortillas with yum yum inside.)
there's also biscuit with egg, bisuit with sausage and egg...with or without cheese ect.

line a 9x13 pan with old bread. layer grated cheese on it. crumble some kind of breakfast meat over it (or layer ham). beat one egg per piece of bread with some pepper (just a sprinkle) if you like pepper, and pour over layers. finish with another layer of cheese. leave in fridge overnight, then bake at 350 until eggs set well, but not hard. refrigerate, and when cold, cut into squares. microwave each square until hot (about 20-30 seconds). alternately, you can serve it out of the oven, or cold out of the fridge. it's good all the above ways!

I have a good egg bake recipe that I can give you. After we eat it the first time I separate it into individual pieces and freeze them. You can just microwave them when you are ready and it is really good. I will post the recipe either tonight or tomorrow.

But...I am with Loz. James is on his own for breakfast most mornings. He eats cereal or frozen waffles. I make breakfast on weekends but not every Saturday and Sunday. Very nice of you to do that for him though!!

Hot pockets? those are good

Oh I forgot to get that recipe on here. I will dig it out soon and post it.

there is also MW bacon you could buy him. then he could cook a few pieces grab a piece or 2 of bread and he would be good to go.

(although, my DH loves the breakfast sandwiches. they are like driving thur a fast food place only cheaper. around here they are often 10 for $10.00.)


Now, while I get up each work day and make Rod a packed lunch, there is NO WAY he gets cooked breakfast out of me. I would on weekends, but he is a creaure of habit, and when he retired he would expect me to cook breakfast for him every morning--and THAT is not gonna happen.

2 1/2 c. herb seasoned croutons
2 1/2 c. milk
2 pkg. Jimmy Dean Sausage
8 oz. fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 c. milk
9 eggs, well beaten
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
3 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Brown sausage and drain. Grease 9 x 13 pan. Layer croutons, sausage and cheese. Beat eggs, 2 1/2 c. milk and mustard. Pour over bottom layer. Refrigerate overnight. Saute fresh sliced mushrooms in a little butter. Mix together mushroom soup and 1/2 c. milk; add sauteed mushrooms to soup nad milk and pour over egg layer. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Let set 20 minutes before serving.

I saute chopped onions, green peppers and red peppers with the mushrooms. It all depends on what you like. This is a really yummy egg bake! Also, sometimes I can't find herb seasoned croutons so I just buy whatever kind sounds good to me.

a quick and easy sausage ball reciepe:

mix equal amounts of ground sausage with bisquick baking mix.
add some grated cheader cheese and some parmesan.
a little garlic too, is good.

form into balls and bake.

Just posted a good recipe for buttermilk hotcakes that freeze really well. Here it is again:

BUTTERMILK HOT CAKES

2 C buttermilk
½ C cream
3 C flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp butter, melted, plus more for serving

Beat egg yolks until light. Combine baking soda with buttermilk and beat into eggs with cream. Combine flour with baking powder and beat into yolk mixture until smooth. Stir in melted butter. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold gently into batter. Drop batter onto hot greased griddle and cook until cakes are lightly browned on both sides, turning only once. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
