Choose a main dish. Some ideas: breakfast casseroles: A 9x13 serves 12, so 4 or 5 casseroles, (some veg) would work. Use your favorite recipes or Google ‘breakfast casserole recipe’. scrambled eggs: Beat 6 doz eggs with 1 ½ qt milk and 1 T salt. Melt butter in two large (11x17) roasting pans or three 9x13 pans. Add chopped cooked veggies (onion, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, broccoli, etc.) to one, then pour eggs over. Bake 15 minutes at 350F, stir gently, and continue baking 15-30 minutes more. Serve cheese and salsa on the side. pancakes: For 100 pancakes, whisk 2 lbs flour,1/3 C baking powder, 2 T salt. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 eggs, 2 qts milk and 1 C butter, melted. Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring just till blended. Or use your favorite mix. Get fancy! Make some Mickey Mouse or silver dollar pancakes or scatter some chocolate chips or blueberries. Serve butter and syrup.
Add a side dish: breakfast meats: about 6 lbs of bacon (bake at 375F 20 mins) or ham (small slices, fried) or sausage (links or patties), or a mix totaling about 6 lbs. For sausage and apples, fry 5 lbs of sausage links and 2 lbs apple slices (canned or fresh) in butter till sausages are brown and cooked through and apples are soft. Season with cinnamon or nutmeg. hash browns: Frozen patties (about 60) can be baked in a single layer on baking sheets, or fry up 10 lbs of frozen hash brown or O’Brien potatoes (or bake at 425F: melt butter on baking sheets; flip every 10 mins, 30 mins total) hot cereal: Cook 2 lbs of oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, Malt-o-Meal, etc. according to package directions. Serve with butter, brown sugar, honey, raisins, etc. breads: Offer a variety of breakfast breads such as English muffins, bagels (cut in quarters), small muffins, mini croissants, biscuits. Serve with PB&J, butter, cream cheese and honey.
Fruit: 5-6 lbs of melons, oranges, grapes or berries work well at breakfast.
