"Bread Souffle" This is cubed bread, cubed ham (cooked turkey sausage or whatever) cubed cheese. Pour a mixture of beaten eggs(6) , milk (3 cups), salt, pepper, flour (1 TBL) , and dry mustard over the top. Drizzle with melted butter (2 TBL) & bake. Makes a 13 x 9 pan.

Quiches can be (mostly) made the night before ....... keep the filling & crusts separate in the fridge. In the morning, pour and bake.

I like to do eggs in purgatory. Marinara in a baking dish seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper and plenty of basil. Make spoon holes in the sauce and crack eggs in there. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes to cook eggs through. Serve with crusty bread. YUM

It's my favorite meal of all time. There are a bazillion recipes for it out there, but simple is best I think.

We're making this this year: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/360696-if-you-re-a-fan-of-crockpot-cheeseburgers

Still debating whether we'll add the pepperoni this time or not, and whether we'll use macaroni or tater tots.

Not the healthiest option, but this is what I make a lot on Christmas morning.

Get a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. Take them out and cut them in quarters. Put them in a round cake pan pointy side up, then open a can of cherry or apple pie filling and pour over. Put in the oven following the directions on the can. After it's done, warm up the icing that comes in the can and drizzle over it. You are supposed to be able to slice it like a pie, but mine is always much gooey-er and I just scoop it out.

I have one that I make in the crock pot overnight. My kids are 5 and almost 4, so if I don't make them eat before we get into the presents they'll get cranky super quick. I don't know it off-hand, but there are several versions online. You just mix up frozen hash browns, beaten eggs, cut-up breakfast meat, and a few other things and cook it on low overnight. Voila, a hot breakfast ready as soon as you get out of bed in the morning.
