Beach Breakfast on the grill
Inspired by Ina Garten, who did an outdoor birthday breakfast on the grill - I would like to do a similar thing this weekend on the beach. Here is the menu I have in mind:
Breakfast Burritos - scrambled eggs done in pan on grill, tortillas warmed on grill, plus cheese, and guac and beans done ahead of time
Pioneer Woman's stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon - make before heading to beach, keep warm on grill or at room temp
Beer Bread Cinnamon Rolls - Bake before heading to beach, warm on grill - I am worried about them getting soggy
Smoked Salmon and Bagels - bagels toasted on grill
Any pitfalls?
----
Also, inviting 30 people, so trying to figure out how much to buy. I'm thinking 3 dozen eggs, 1 dozen jalapenos to split in half for a total of 24 stuffed peppers. Make 2 dozen mini cinnamon rolls. 1 package of salmon and 1 dozen bagels.
((I don't think all 30 will be in attendance.))
Thanks all!

How about adding some fresh fruit to the menu to balance the rich foods.
And some juice too.
Don't forget about tomato or tomatillo salsa for your breakfast burritos.
Are you planning on doing batches of eggs, or will you be cooking them in one humongous pan?
My personal preference- rewarm the jalepenos on the grill so the bacon doesn't have so much greasy mouth-feel.
Will you be adding softened cream cheese to your bagels? Try adding some chopped vegetables or dill to your spread.
Or having thin slices of cucumber, red onion and thin lemon slices available for those who'd like to lighten up the flavors.
Are you using full sized bagels or mini-bagels?

Good call on the fruit, and people are bringing juice. I have homemade habanero salsa and Sriracha for the burritos. Will do batches of eggs as I don't have a huge pan :-) Re-warming the jalapenos is a good idea, I will have to see how much grill real estate I have. Plain cream cheese on the side for the bagels. I like the idea of mini-bagels, I will have to check the store to see if they have them. Thanks!

I don't think you've got enough jalapenos for that many people. I do a dozen just for my family of four, and we're always wishing we had more! :o)

maybe another dozen or so eggs. 36 eggs for 30 people is just over 1 egg p/person. maybe make another dozen mini cinnamon rolls too. 24 won't give each person one and if they're mini's,i.e. bite-sized people will be milling around popping them like snacks.
