Healthy breakfast ideas

[Abby Normal]

I'm going on a retreat in a few weeks and I have to fix breakfast for 7-8 women. I'd like it to be healthy, but quick and easy.

I thought of doing eggs (mostly whites) with vegetables, but I don't want to be cooking all morning or waiting for people to get out of bed. Some one else is bringing my favorite, greek yogurt.

So anyone have any good ideas for something simple, or that I can make and freeze?

You could do an egg white quiche with a lighter cheese (swiss or mozzarella) and veges. There are lots of recipes that use a tofu-yogurt blend instead of sour cream. Quiche is pretty heavy.

If you do a torte of some sort - those are a baked egg dish with no crust. You might be able to do 2 or 3 frying pans worth, and they can sit.

When I do brunch parties, I make a quiche by taking pie crust, cutting it down and putting them in muffin tins. I only put the crusts half way up the sides, and it still hardens up and holds the shape. They can sit out for a while, or be put in the fridge - eaten cold, warmed up, etc. You can serve it with a giant plate of fruit.

I've not been very successful with freezing quiche's and I would have to freeze whatever I take. Maybe I'll try a new receipe this weekend. I know people do it, but mine always seem rubbery when I freeze. Any magic secrets?

You could try something like this, although the reviews aren't stellar.

or maybe this: (looks good, probably not exactly "healthy")

You could also have hard boiled eggs, smoked salmon, light cream cheese and small bagels, along with fruit.

OMG- That is perfect! Simple, quick, and easy and travels well.

I had thought about hard boiled eggs, but couldn't figure out what to put with them. I don't even think of bagels and cream cheese because it's not something I normally eat. But once won't kill me.

You can also include english muffins, a loaf of bread for toast and a couple jars of jelly - if there is a toaster where you are going.

A small meat and cheese platter is very european, and an awesome breakfast!

Maybe Veteran Leader will be there.

Why does it have to be healthy

Because everyone that is going is watching what they eat for various reasons. Otherwise I'd splurge and make stuffed french toast or blintz's.
