The key, though, is to cook the eggs in the bacon fat. So good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-brunch-items#post-347979 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:54:08 +0000 Freckles 347979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always make baked french toast.

I've never made breakfast ahead of time, but bacon/sausage is a must have. So are eggs and potatoes and something carby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-brunch-items#post-347963 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:50:44 +0000 WALLAROO 347963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like making frittatas and waffles which are really easy to reheat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-brunch-items#post-347940 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:43:09 +0000 regberadaisy 347940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ILs and BIL will be coming up for M's first Christmas - yay! So we'll be hosting. Anyway I want to start a tradition of Christmas morning brunch while opening presents. We actually did it for the first time a few years back. Was so fun!</p> <p>Mimosas are a must. My husband's famous pancakes are another. </p> <p>What are some of your fave make ahead brunch items? I don't want to be in the kitchen all morning!</p> <p>I'm thinking quiche I can make the night before and maybe a crockpot breakfast casserole? </p>
