Mothers Day Brunch

Re: Mothers Day Brunch

I have a great recipe for stuffed french toast that is so easy to make. You use loaf bread and canned pie filling. You make it the day before and pop it in the oven that morning. I also have breakfast casserole recipe that is easy and you make ahead and cook the next morning. I think monkey bread, a couple of casseroles, fruit, and maybe some muffins would be great.

Re: Mothers Day Brunch

The last brunch I went to had an awesome hot crab dip, I have the recipe if you want it...it was served with homemade croutons and it was really yummy.....it is also easy to make(both the dip and the croutons). I have made it a couple times for guest and it always goes really fast....also you can sub shrimp for the crab or do a seafood dip with both.

D@mn ...now I need to make crab dip.... ...as soon as I get a darn vehicle and can go to the store!

Hot crab dip

1 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning(or other seafood seasoning)
2 cans (6 oz.) crab meat, drained(better if you use lump crab, but canned works well)

PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Remove 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese; cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Mix all remaining ingredients until well blended.

SPREAD into small casserole dish or pie plate

BAKE 15 min. or until crab mixture is heated through. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup cheese.bake 5 min or until cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot .


To dress this recipe up I take 1/2 a small onion and 1/2 a bell pepper, dice really fine and lightly saute in a little butter, then add it to the original mixture. If you are not a fan of crab you can sub canned shrimp, langastinos, diced lobster or even craw fish, or you can mix them all(or what you like) and call it hot seafood dip.You can also sub a different shred cheese for the cheddar.

CROUTONS

get a baguette(long thin loaf) French bread, thinly slice into rounds(or a slight angle for nice oval croutons). Melt one stick of real butter, add a teaspoon garlic powder, and teaspoon Italian seasoning. With a basting brush, lightly brush butter mixture onto each round(both sides), lay flat on baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted and crisp. Cool and serve.


Ok now I am drooling and really want crab dip. This also makes an awesome topping for chicken or fish....I just add an extra can of crab, cook your chicken or fish and top with the dip...bake for 5-10 minutes till warmed and gooey....yummmmmmmmmm!!

Maybe some little sausages--like sausage links/little smokies/whatever they're called.
