Breakfast is often a last-minute task for houseguests. With houseguests arriving soon, hosts can relax knowing there are easy, crowd-pleasing options to feed a large group.
Lisa Lillien, creator and author of Hungry Girl.com, is a popular Web site. “Hungry Girl Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-free Eating in the Real World,”Says “Making breakfast for a crowd is a lot easier than it seems and still allows for time to focus on the big dinner. Plus, eating a hearty, protein-packed breakfast in the morning can help prevent you from overeating holiday foods later in the day.”
Egg Beaters (or Egg Beaters with Yolk) are a simple and delicious breakfast choice that’s become a popular favorite on Hungry-Girl.com. Egg Beaters with yogurt are made from real eggs and contain 75 percent less cholesterol. They also have less calories than traditional shell eggs. “There are dozens of ways to work Egg Beaters with Yolk into delicious breakfast recipes,” Lillien says. “And with delicious varieties such as Southwestern, Cheese and Chive, and Garden Vegetable, there’s an option for everyone.”
Lillien mentions that freezing and canned vegetables can be a healthier way to make recipes more interesting and easier to prepare for large groups. Do some legwork the night before. Prepare a breakfast casserole after dinner and refrigerate overnight. Warm it the next morning as guests awaken. The aroma of a hot breakfast is sure to wake them up.
