Unfortunately I just bought a bag of sweet organic onions last week and we will be on vacation for 10 days, starting in 3 weeks so I will have to forget about the Valdalias until the end of May. I just hope they are still there.

well I should correct this by saying they are sweet onions not actually vidalia.I do not like regular yellow onions or red onions. Only sweet, vidalia or spanish onions.

Vidalia or just the sweet Texas onions, this is the starting of the season and yes, they are so yummy. Of course I could probably eat onions on ice cream i love um so much, but the late winter ones are just a little to strong.

I do a ground sausage meat / bacon tapa type Hors d'oeuvre sometimes.

First, fry the bacon and / or ground sausage meat
Roll & flattened a loaf of sliced bread,
Butter muffin trays,
Tuck bread into muffin trays to make little "containers" for stuffings...
Beat eggs to fill bread containers,
topped egg w/ pre-cooked sausages or bacon.
Additions optional: add spinach into egg mixture / halved cherry tomato atop to roast.

Pop the concoction into pre-heated oven at 400 - 415 for 7 - 10 min.
Bake till egg is set.

To serve, top it w/ sourcream & sprinkle fresh chopped chives on it.

Enjoy!

When having overnight guests and you want something quick and different here is an idea we use often. Crescent roll breakfast sandwhiches

1 package of Pillsbury (or any brand) crescent rolls (8 count)
3 eggs
1/2 lb (max) sausage (your favorite)
2 green onions
4 slices of good qualtiy cheese like colby

brown the sausage saving a little bit of the drippings. place the sausage on a paper towel to drain.
using the sausage drippings scramble the eggs til barely cooked (not dry)
chop the oions using the greens as well as the white.

Mix the eggs, sausage and onions together. You can do this the night before or that morning.
Unwrap the crescent rolls and roll them into triagles. Fill each one with some of the mixture and 1/2 piece of cheese.
Place on cookie sheet and bake according to the crescent roll directions (usually about 12 minutes) serves 4.

I like making this as it can be prepared the night before and all you have to do is assemble that morning.

I definitely like your idea. Fast and simple. My wife is also thinking about making a couple of quiches and then freezing them..Unless I get to them first

that is another great idea and I just came up with one a few days ago, but not breakfast. I had to provide an array of finger foods for a church bridge party. One thing I made that was a huge success and can easily be frozen was mini meat balls. Yes, you can buy them frozen but home made are so much better.

1/3 lb sausage (I used the cheapest I could find)
1/3 lb hamburger
1 cup of crushed pecans
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg

Sause:

1 cup of jalapeno jelly (I had some from last years canning) you can use grape or some other kind, but I like the kick of the jalapeno
1/3 cup sherry wine
2 T rice vinegar
1/4 Cup soy sause(you can use less if you don't want that much salt) I use low sodium
2 T fresh, ground ginger

Mix the meat balls ingrediant well and form very small (bite size) balls. Place in slightly greased frying pan and brown evenly on all sides. (it only takes about 2 or 3 min) repeat until all meat balls are brown. drain on a paper towel.
Heat the sause in a small crock pot.
place meat balls in sause and continueing cooking until ready to serve.
You should bet about 40 meat balls and they freeze beautifully.
I am going to double the recipe in the next few days and put them in the feeezer for future use. They take up very little room and what a nice appitzer to take to parties or serve when you have guests.
