Thread: Spooky Breakfast

Tweet

I was invited to a halloween brunch and I need some ideas for a spooky breakfast dish! Does anyone have any good Halloween breakfast recipes?

Mini quiches? With cheddar to make them more orange and pumpkin faces made out of veggies?

Pumpkin muffins? If you have halloween cookie cutters you could use them to cut out halloween shaped biscuits or fluffy pastries.

I second this... I 'm making mini quiches for my party but in the pastry dough, I have mixed in black food coloring and called them "Mini Witch's Cauldrons" the spinach in the veggie ones looks like seaweed floating in the egg "brew"

Bloody Marys!

Haha, those are some good ideas! I really like the cauldron quiche idea. Are they easy to make? I've never done quiche before.

I think they are very easy... basically an egg pie. You can use refidgerated pie dough if you aren't comfortable making your own. I use the mini muffin tin pan, roll out the pie dough, cut circles out with a cookie cutter and make it look like mini pie shells. As for the filling there are countless recipes out there and like an omelet, can use just about anything you fancy (spinach and Parmesan or ham and cheddar, southwestern with green chilies and pepper jack cheese... the options are endless)

You could make Mummy Sausages ....instead of mummy dogs. Use maple links (or your favorite sausage) instead of hot dogs.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
(Adapted from Joy of Cooking)

1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/3 c. milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 tbsp butter, room temperature
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven 350.

Have all ingredients at room temp. Prepare mini loaf pans (or one 9x5).

Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices. In another bowl combine milk and vanilla. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, combine butter until creamy. Gradually add sugars and beat on high for 3-4 mins.

Add eggs one at a time. Add pumpkin puree on low speed until blended. Add flour mixture in 3 parts alternating with milk mixture. Mix in chocolate chips (reserving some for topping), stirring by hand.

Spread batter into pan--Sprinkle some chips along top, and then slightly press into batter. Bake 50 to 55 minutes..... toothpick should come out clean.

Oh man, I'd kill for some breakfast sausage!!

I'm not going to any parties this year that I need to bring food to, but I might make that chocolate chip pumpkin bread anyway. It looks ridiculously good.

But I second... third? the quiches.
