Don't Forget Breakfast! -- Part Two


© Kerri Bazzell

When you have overnight guests, or for a special occasion, you may want to prepare a "fancy" breakfast - something different from the everyday "quick" breakfasts. This is a great time to use a freezer dish, so that you can concentrate on other details while your breakfast is cooking.

A breakfast casserole is a delicious way to begin the morning. It can be elegant, healthy, hearty...whatever fits the occasion. Here is a great dish that freezes well and will be on your table without a lot of fuss in the morning:

Easy Egg Casserole

6 eggs, beaten
6 slices of bread, cubed
1 lb. sausage, browned, drained and cubed, cooled
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For something a little different, don't think breakfast in the usual sense - think dessert. There are a few dessert that aren't too sweet or too rich to make a delicious breakfast. A good freezer dessert that comes to mind is bread pudding. Here is a basic one to try:

Old-fashioned Bread Pudding

2 cups day-old bread cubes, cut ¼- to ½-inch
2 cups milk
½ cup sugar
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 eggs
dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Place bread cubes in greased 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients and pour over bread, making sure that all the bread gets moistened. Freeze now, or bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. To bake after freezing, place in oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
