Cooking

Prep quiche or egg bites the night before. French toast bake. Cook spicy sausage the night before; then just scramble eggs, warm tortillas, and set out taco toppings.

For big groups, my go to is finger foods or easy to make foods.

Pigs in a blanket.

Egg sandwiches (boil a lot of eggs, peel them, mash them with mayo, salt, and pepper, make sandwiches, then cut them into triangles).

Other premixed sandwiches (ham and cheese, egg and ham, etc.)

Sweet foods like pastries and a cake for those who like sweet foods. Like a pan of cinnamon rolls and some muffins.

Savoury foods like eggs but in cupcakes. In a muffin pan, put bread as the crust them add eggs cheese and bacon. Or make it without bread.

Toast with lots of jams, and cold cuts and cheese. Yogurt for those who like that. Fruit and cereal for picky kids.

And of course a huge pot of coffee and tea. Milk and juice.

IDK if it's relevant to you, but eggs can be poached ahead of time for quick assembly into the final dish.

Just under cook them by a minute or so and store them in ice water. Then just drop them in water the same temp as you poach to warm them through. I once served eggs Benedict to 8 people with only 15min of prep time and they thought I was a wizard.

Multiple frittatas or egg-based breakfast casseroles would work well. You could make each one unique so people can pick and choose, like Mexican (chorizo, jalapenos, queso fresco/cotija), southwestern style (chicken/turkey, peppers, Monterey Jack cheese), Italian (various herbs and mozzarella/parmesan/Romano), American (ham/bacon/sausage with cheddar), etc. Any of those would be awesome with diced onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, and just about any kind of cheese. I like putting crispy hash browns on the bottom before pouring the egg mixture over and sprinkling extra cheese on top before cooking. Serve with sour cream or creme fraiche and a bottle of hot sauce for those who like it spicy.

Or you could try the U.S. southern style breakfast with biscuits and gravy (country style, with or without sausage), cheese n grits, hash browns, bacon and sausage, and scrambled eggs. Pancakes/waffles might be tricky with so many people, but I imagine a variety of bagels and cream cheeses and other toppings would be easy to pull off.

That’s a nice idea. When cooking for a large group, I like to have a variety of foods on the table to make sure everyone can find something they like. Sometimes I’ll make a large stack of crepes with sweet options (Eurocrem, jam, fresh fruit) and savory ones (cheese, shredded meat, ketchup, hot sauce, ajvar). I’ll also have hummus and crisp vegetables for dipping into it (carrot, celery, cucumber) and salad options. Other times I’ll make French toast and have a platter of assorted meats and cheeses. I also like making something similar to burek or pita with various fillings (spinach, mushrooms, potatoes) and cut them into smaller pieces. Ooh, and of course coffee, water, juice, and spirits to go with it.

Veel plezier! :)
