Have some fun at breakfast time. Consider making breakfast sandwhiches (toast, egg & flat sausage) and using various cookie cutter shapes to trim. Perhaps think about shapes that represent your co-worker's style. If you have time the night before perhaps consider making some fluffy pancakes and go at them with the cookie cutters.

Another interesting breakfast alternative I saw in the USA. Is a sort of a sausage pie come omelette.

I do not like most breakfast casseroles -- most I have been served contain lots of "cheese food" "cream of" soups and other scary things. However, I do have one recipie that I make from time to time that is incredible. It is from the allrecipes website.

Here is the link

I make a few changes - I grate my own potatoes ( but I am sure frozen would be fine.) I also sometimes switch out the cheeses although I do love the swiss. Sausage is as good (if not better than the bacon) it is a great basic recipie that can be adjusted to suit your tastes.

This casserole is great room temp as well as piping hot.

@Perk - I looked up that recipe and it actually looks pretty good. A few modifications with the ingredients of course. Like adding at least 1/2 can of that fat in a can stuff. See you at mepolo's!

Count me in mepolo! Experimental cooking often results in some seriously good eats. See you Saturday, bright and early. I'll bring the butter. and izatryt can bring the fat in the can. haha ;-D

Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I'm definitely going to be cooking something, since I like to leave things like bagels, etc to those who don't cook. I'm also not worrying too much about allergies....there are 60+ people in our office, and quite a few are bringing something....so I think there will be enough other things for the non egg eaters. I'm leaning towards a breakfast casserole....thanks bitchincamero & perkymac for the ideas.....or a mini frittata type dish...using mini muffin pans. The party has been moved to next Friday...so I'm going to be experimenting this week-end....breakfast anyone?

@izatryt - sorry, only 4 Tlbs. of butter mixed with the potatoes for the quiche crust, but I don't see why you couldn't use a couple of sticks, or even substitute lard or that greasy fat in the can stuff. That stuff delivers on it's promise!

;-D

Look at the Bisquick website for the Impossibly Easy Breakfast Bake. I substitute egg beaters, and turkey sausage, low fat cheese, and fat free evaporated milk. I omit the onions and add sliced grape tomatoes and serve with a peppered gravy or hot sauce. Adding more eggs or egg beaters than the recipe calls for works well too. Also I lowered the heat to 375 degrees.

Paula Deen did a quiche with a hash brown crust. I think she used frozen hash browns, but you could certainly make your own. I thought it was a brilliant idea, but haven't tried it yet. I imagine it would also work as a large casserole, cut into square servings and reheated in the toaster oven or microwave a couple at a time. Mine would have bacon, spinach and mushrooms, but obviously you could add any ingredients you and your co-workers like. You'd have to grease the pan well to prevent sticking, or use a non-stick pan.

I guess it's my southern roots showing...what about shrimp and grits? Or green chili cheese squares? (kind of a crustless quiche) Can be served cold and top with Salsa...mmmm. Or baked cheddar cheese grits, with crispy crumbled bacon and scallions scattered over the top....You can get great recipes for all this stuff with just a quick internet search...

I've brought in 3-4 pounds of lox, cream cheese, bagels, and crackers to work, while my coworker brought in the prosciutto. It's great for breakfast and no need to heat.

A coworker made something tasty that looked like lasagne (mainly because it was made and served in a large rectangular casserole dish and was baked) but it was made with eggs, small pieces of bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. It had cheese on the top too. I recall picking the cheese off, as well as the onions out.

Jimmy Dean sausage used to have a good breakfast casserole on their website - I like it better with real bulk breakfast sausage bought from the butcher counter, though!

Location: Hoboken, NJ

About: I love food. The smell, colors, textures and taste!! Looking back at my baby pictures I was either eating something or reaching for something to eat. For 7 yrs I lived in NYC and enjoyed dining out but today I am finding greater joy in making it myself.

Favorite foods: Too many to list but my top favs are sushi, pasta, steak (medium rare please).

Last bite on earth: give me a delicious juicy piece of steak! If my doctor told me that I have only a month to live I woudl have steak everyday... and french fries. Thin ones!
