Breakfast Main Dishes
Lad loves bacon and eggs for breakfast. His favorite breakfast meat is probably a fresh side. If you want to fix him up with a meal that makes him happy just fry up a batch of bacon, fresh side or sausage with eggs that have been basted so that the white is not runny and the yolk is covered over. A couple slices of toast or biscuits will complete this kind of breakfast for him. As the kids grew up, this breakfast became quite expensive so there were many other ideas added to the list. At one time, we posted all breakfasts for a week on the refrigerator door so no one could complain – his favorite came another day.
When large groups came for breakfast, I often scrambled the eggs or used this breakfast casserole. The original came from Edna Lovitt, a reading teacher at Franklin School.
Breakfast Casserole
6-8 slices white bread, cubed
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 lb ground sausage, cooked and drained
1 1/2 cups milk
5 eggs, slight beaten
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard, dry or prepared
salt and pepper to taste
sliced mushroom (optional)
In a 9×13 pan, place cubed bread, sprinkle sausage, cheese, mushrooms. Combine milk, eggs and seasonings and pour over the bread and cheese mixture. Refrigerate overnight. Bake the next day at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Randy and Tracy were married on December 22, 1984. Larry and Edna planned to fly to Canada for Christmas with her family the next day. We decided to have a Brunch for the Garner Christmas on the day of the wedding. Breakfast casserole along with ham leftover from the rehearsal dinner was the basis of the meal. Edna and Carol brought the rest of the goodies. Everyone had a great time together. Preparation and serving was easy which made for a great start to a wedding day!
