Breakfast

[Dan L]

I am looking for a simple way to feed about 8 guys breakfast when we go fishing. Something without much prep time. Possibly something you just throw in the oven. Any ideas?

Dan,

Here’s something where you can do most of the prep stuff ahead of time and then just throw it together and bake it.

- 1 lb shredded monterey jack
- 2 cups chopped ham
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 dozen eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp tobasco sauce
- 1 small container cottage cheese
- ½ cup bread crumbs (optional)

Saute the cheese and ham in 1 tablespoon of the butter (just enough to melt cheese). Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt the rest of the butter in a 9 x 13 pan in the heated over. Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Beat the eggs and add the salt, pepper, and tobasco sauce. Stir in the flour and baking powder mixture, cottage cheese, melted cheese and hame with a wire wisk. Pour into the buttered pan and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Cover the top with the bread crumbs, if desired. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with toast and/or fruit.

Enjoy

Paul,

If you're cooking at Winni this weekend, I'll be there with my bib on. See you there!

This works - and it's way easy.

Bring enough pork fried rice for the group from your local take-out. (Or make your own.)

Purchase enough; eggs, flour tortillas, sour cream, mild & medium salsa, butter.

Dump the fried rice in a pan, add butter, when it's hot add the eggs and scramble them with the rice.

When the eggs are cooked put the pan, a big spoon, and the condiments on the table and everyone can make and serve themselves some right tasty breakfast burritos. You'll have about ten minutes in the project.

If you have access to a nuke the tortillas are better warmed.

Although it breaks from tradition, this can be just as satisfying: try serving up a big pot of oatmeal, add some raisins, craisins, or other dried fruit, maybe spike it with a can of thick coconut milk and top with brown sugar or real maple syrup, offer up some toasted bagels with peanut butter, bannanas and a carton or two of juice. A breakfast like that will really stick with you for a while and offers the right combination of quick energy and long burning calories from the complex carbos and fats, serious fuel for a morning on the ice.

The heavy eggs, cheese, meat and potato breakfasts require a lot of time in the kitchen and are more difficult to digest, what i suggest will only require a few moments of prep time, five minutes at the stove, and a quick clean up, and don't leave you feeling sluggish or "greased out".
