Egg dish for brunch

[Anonymous]

We are having a brunch and I need to make an egg dish that will appeal both to adults and 3 year olds. I googled receipies last night and was overwhelmed with the many choices! Anyone have a good receipe for a egg dish (casserole/fritatta or something similar) that is good? You get bonus points if it is a dish I can prepare the night before
TIA

I would do a baked french toast (that you can prepare the night before and stick in the fridge).

Can't find the recipe I used last time, but here's one that's pretty popular (you could skip the grand marnier)--

I always make the sausage egg casserole when we have overnight guest. Everyone always has good things to say.

Brown the breakfast sausage, dice up 10 slices of white or wheat bread, mix 12 eggs with about 1/2-1 cup of milk.

spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray, spread half the bread, half the sausage and sprinkle it with cheese and repeat. pour the egg mixture over it and let it sit overnight. bake it covered at 350 for 45 min, add extra cheese, remove the cover and bake until cheese has melted.

for variety, I have also added green/red peppers as the middle layer. it always comes out great.

Do a strata. Just google a recipe - I've made a bunch of different ones and they're great. They are even supposed to be made the night before.

Spinach gruyere strata (or ham and gruyere if the kids won't eat green). Satisfy the sweet with a big bowl of fruit salad.

We have used this one several times before and it is delicious. My 5 year old likes it, too.

Baked French Toast or strata is always my go to. This is one of my favorites: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Baked-Blueberry-Pecan-French-Toast-with-Blueberry-Syrup-101755 (I always omit the pecans, DH doesn't like them)

I find that young children are often grossed out by the mushy texture of the bread in stratas/bread casseroles. I've made this recipe about 15 times and it's always a hit. It's not gourmet, but it's pretty delicious: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=554787 It's a sausage and egg casserole that uses frozen hashbrowns instead of bread. Better when made the night before.

Not the OP, but I made this before. My kids prefer the bread ones and the hashbrown casserole took a lot longer to cook. As for strata - while it might be great for adults I just don't see the kids eating it.

spinach and egg strata in the epicurious website. make the night before. yum.

make a strata for the adults, or a fritatta, which you can make and serve warm, room temp or cool. and for the kids just scramble up some eggs. Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything has a good, simple recipe for fritatta. That with some bagels and fresh fruit, bam--simple and easy and yummy.
