I made this delicious Quiche for my family at our family reunion, and it was a hit.Husband loved it so much that we had to make it again for dinner last week. I am a big fan of breakfast for dinner. I love breakfast foods, but not enough of a morning person to ever want to make something good for breakfast. This recipe originally comes from Pillsbury.

Here is what you need:
1 Refrigerated Pie Crust
1 1/2 C Cubed Ham
1 1/2 C Shredded Swiss Cheese
1 C Frozen Broccoli, thawed and chopped
4 Eggs
1 C Milk
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Mustard
1/2 t Pepper

1. Thaw the frozen broccoli. I set it out on a plate cover in a couple paper towels. It is very important to soak up as much of the water as possible, or the quiche will be very liquidy.
2. Place the pie crust in the pie plate. Layer ham, cheese and broccoli on top.
3. Mix together eggs, milk, salt, mustard and pepper. Pour over the broccoli.
4. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

One of my family's most recent family traditions is the Breakfast Buffet. My family loves to get together for breakfast on holidays or weekends or just whenever we feel hungry. Usually we all just mooch off of my parents, but recently we have started a buffet style breakfast where we all bring a dish to share. It is so fun. There is always so much to choose from, plus I get to try out different breakfast recipes.

Most recently I brought baked french toast. It was delicious. I wish I had more pictures of it, but there was no time. I had to take a quick picture and then get some food. When you grow up with eight kids in the family you get while the getting is good or you might miss out.

 

Here is what you need:

1 Loaf French Bread

8 Eggs

2 C Whole Milk

1/2 C Heavy Whipping Cream

3/4 C Sugar

2 T Vanilla

1/2 C Flour

1/2 C Brown Sugar

1 t Cinnamon

1/4 t Salt

1 Stick Cold Butter

1. Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Tear the bread into chunks and distribute throughout the pan. Don't worry about making them uniform, it really doesn't matter.

2. In a separate bowl mix together eggs, milk, cream, sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the top of the bread. Cover tightly and store in the fridge over night.(I am bolding this so you don't overlook it. I hate starting a recipe for breakfast that day and then realizing I should have started it the day before.)

3. In another bowl make the topping. Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut the butter into pieces and mix it in. I like to use my hands. Mix until it starts to look like pebbles. You can either make this the night before and store it in the fridge or make it right before baking.

4. The next morning sprinkle the topping over the french toast and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. 

You could also add nuts or fruit before baking. Our problem is I like nuts, but not fruit and Husband likes fruit but not nuts, so ours was plain which was also delicious. When serving you can top with a little syrup or whipped cream, or just plain.

"What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? Nothing. A muffin is just a bald cupcake."- Jim Gaffigan in Beyond the Pale

I am not a big cereal fan. Sadly I am also not a real morning person, so most mornings I'm too lazy to make anything besides a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Which is especially sad because there are so many delicious breakfast foods. These muffins are one of those yummy things I make when I'm feeling particularly tired of cereal. They are easy to make and taste so moist and delicious. Plus who doesn't want to get away with eating cupcakes for breakfast? This is the way to do it and not feel so bad about yourself.

I found the original recipe for these chocolate chip banana muffins on Allecipes.com, and have altered it slightly.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 C Flour
3/4 C Sugar
1 t Baking Powder
1 t Baking Soda
1/2 t Salt
1 Egg
1/2 C Vegetable Oil
1/2 C Plain Yogurt
1 t Vanilla Extract
2 C Mashed Ripe Banana (About 4 bananas)
1/3 C Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1. Combine dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Mix egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla together in another bowl.
3. Add in dry ingredients until moistened.
4. Add bananas and chocolate chips.
5. Fill muffin cups about three fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

This recipe makes about 16 muffins.

They are amazingly delicious fresh from the oven and still pretty darn delicious for several days, although they rarely last that long around here.
