Around here Secretaries Day = Staff Appreciation Day. The decision was made to do a big breakfast, with the bosses cooking (or buying if your cooking is dangerous). I was out of the office yesterday when everyone started signing up, so all of the obvious breakfast foods are taken (bagels, fruit, doughnuts, juice, even some type of “breakfast pie”). I don’t mind cooking, but it would need to be something I could make at home and bring in to the office and nuke. When I make breakfast it is eggs, just about any way, toast, etc. Does not transport well, and there is no stovetop in the office.
Any suggestions? The only idea I have so far is to make waffles on the waffle iron the night before, freeze them and nuke them at the office. Have never tried this before, will it work? Any secret recipes you would like the share would be appreciated. Thanks.
Let’s see. The last time I had to do something like this I toasted some sunflower bread, whipped up some basil cream cheese and used my pastry bag to make pretty little cream cheese stars on the toast. Add smoked salmon and capers, and you’re good to go.

How 'bout a nice quiche? If you throw it in the oven about 45 minutes before you normally leave for work, it should still be warm when you get there. And what could possibly be better than an egg and bacon and cheese pie?
I don’t think nuked waffles would work–they would probably just steam and get flabby. How about bacon or sausage? They nuke pretty well. Just bring a microwave-safe dish and lots of paper towels.
lb. sausage
6 eggs
2 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
6 slices bread, cubed
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 8 oz. can mushrooms
Crumble & lightly brown sausage & drain; cool. Beat eggs; add milk, salt & dry mustard. Add cubed bread; stir. Add grated
cheese, mushrooms & sausage. Pour into a 8x12 glass baking dish. Refrigerate overnight or 3-4 hours. Bake at 350 for 45 min.
This also reheats just fine…Might impress the ladies…make them think you can actually cook. Why do you think Emeril has so many screaming women in his audience?
