Does anyone have any go to easy brunch recipes? We are invited to a potluck brunch for the resident's in DH's program on sunday and I have no idea what to bring. I am hoping to make something vegetarian. Make ahead would be a great bonus!

i used 1 loaf of challah bread, added a dash of cinnamon and vanilla to the egg mixture, reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup, and did not add the butter.

This sounds amazing!

I like to make my omelets in the muffin pan .. its a good individual serving size .. doesnt take too long.

you can add what ever you like.

I usually make them out of egg whites because they are healthier bu you can use whole eggs

cilantro
onions
cheese
tomatoes

I have also sauteed
the onions , cilantro ,tomatoes with some olive oil
and added chorizo to it and then added them to the pan
and poured the egg mixture into the muffin pans

set oven to 350 degreesand cook for about 20mins.
