Ham and Swiss Quiche by Linderlou
I got this recipe on the back of a bag of Kroger Swiss cheese. It's yummy and easy. It's a little harder if you make your own crust like I did, but well worth the extra time if you don't have a frozen or fresh ready-made pie crust on hand.
1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell
1 (12 fl oz) can evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup cooked diced ham
1/4 cup green onions, sliced (I used 1 Tbsp of dried, minced onions)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (I used lemon pepper)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Prick thawed (if frozen) pie shell generously with a fork.
3. In a large bowl whisk together evaporated milk, eggs and flour until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, ham, onion, thyme salt and pepper. Pour mixture into pie shell; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
4. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 5 to 7 minutes before serving.
5. Refrigerate any leftovers.
6. Serves 6

Toast 4 A Crowd by deardaughterofeve
Most electric toasters only accommodate 2 to 4 slices of bread—a problem if you're hosting a large group for breakfast or brunch. Mary Woosypiti of Cherokee, Okla., came up with an ingenious way to toast enough bread for a crowd.
Place an oven rack in the middle position; place a second rack in the lower-middle position; then place a baking sheet on the lower rack. Heat the oven to 450 degrees, then arrange bread slices between every other bar on the upper rack, resting on the baking sheet. Toast the bread until the top sides are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, flip the slices and continue toasting the second side, about 6 minutes longer.

Vegetable Frittata by writermom
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 medium green or red bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
2 small zucchini, chopped (2 cups)
1 small tomato, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teapsoon pepper
1 1/2 cups fat-free cholesterol-free egg product
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 375°.
Melt margarine in 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in margarine 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in bell pepper; reduce heat to medium. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring occassionally, until crisp-tender. Stir in zucchini, tomato, salt and pepper. Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in egg product.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set in center. Sprinkle with cheese. Cut into wedges.
Note:I don't have an ovenproof skillet. After I added the zucchini, tomato, salt and pepper, I removed the pan from heat, added my egg beaters, and poured into a round quiche dish. You could probably use any round bakeware pan. I also only used 1 zucchini. It was very good.
Servings: 6

breakfast ideas (by Hadley)
Please give me all your ideas! This is the hardest meal for us. It's just me and the kids...
What I have so far:
Cinnamon toast
frozen waffles
grits
biscuits
Oatmeal.
Scrambled egss. Sometimes we do these into breakfast burritos with eggs, cheese and either sausage or bacon if we have it. You can actually even premake these, wrap them and freeze them. Then just microwave them (if you have one) for breakfast.
You can also precook & toast pancakes.
Scones/biscuits (totally yummy warmed up with butter!!) with raisins, bits of ham, bits of cheese, bits of both ham & cheese.
Fruit parfaits-yogurt, granola, fresh fruit. These can be made the night before. My nephew calls them breakfast Sundae's.
Cereal!!
toast with jelly or with peanut butter or with cin/sugar
oatmeal
waffles
pancakes (homemade then frozen for later)
egg mcmuffins
scrambled eggs & sausage
french toast
english muffins
bagels
cereal bars
granola bars & yogurt
fruit & yogurt
jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches (kids love 'em, they are $$$ and a treat)
soft boiled eggs w/bread
hard boiled eggs on toast
french toast sticks
muffins: banana, blueberry, orange cranberry, sunshine, apple oatmeal, tropical...
w/a piece of cheese and some apple slices.
fruit smoothies (using mixed frozen fruit).
grilled cheese sandwiches

Frittatas (by fivesweeties)
Frittatas are easy and make a wonderful, nutritious breakfast.
Choose a large, round pan that is oven-safe. Saute ANYTHING you'd like to have in your frittata. Here are some examples:
Finely chopped onion and a couple of shredded potatoes
Chopped, fresh spinach and sliced portabella mushrooms
Chopped tomatoes and green peppers
ANY combination of the above, or anything else your family likes
Be sure to use REAL BUTTER when you saute.
Next, crack 8 eggs into a bowl and whisk them until they're light yellow. Pour the eggs over the sauted veggies.
Place the whole pan into a preheated, 400 degree oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Top with your favorite sliced or shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or aged Swiss are delicious), and return to oven just until cheese melts, a couple of minutes more. Serve immediately with some fresh fruit on the side.
Makes 8 servings. (You cut it into wedges like a pie.)
MMMMMM!!! My family loves when I make fritattas for breakfast.

Question (by StillJulie)
do you have an easy recipe for cinnamon rolls? I'm thinking you might use that same dough recipe that I've used of yours for pizza crust... What else do I need to know to make good cinnamon rolls?
Answer (by emyanne)
i do use the same dough.....although half the liquid i usually make milk instead of water.......and if i have a halfcup of mashed potatoes around, i add that (it all helps make their texture softer)...
after the dough raises the first time, you roll it out in a long rectangle and then rub butter or margarine on it, enough to coat.
sprinkle rather heavily with cinnamon and sugar mixture (enough to make it all brown).
then on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan, i sprinkle some brown sugar and cinnamon and little bits of butter.
roll the dough into a long log.
slice into 12 slices and spread them out in the 9 x 13 pan.
let rise again on stove (or however you let dough rise).
bake til brownish and puffy.........i don't remember the exact time, i'm thinking 20-30 minutes.
