Breakfast for guests?

I probably have 7 muffin recipes on this site, but these are super easy and reliable. I created them on vacation for my husband, who loves my (what I do for love) bran muffins, but I was trying to make a muffin that didn't require a million ingredients, a food processor, etc. If you don't have All Bran, they work with rolled oats or a mixed grain cereal. If you don't have blueberries, they work with bananas, applesauce, dried fruit. You can throw in some nuts if you like. I think the secret to these muffins is butter. I make them every week, and they have never come out badly.

I love this frittata because it's easy and it never fails. Plus ingredient list is small! bit.ly/1F2KXbx I suggest making the chorizo mixture and laying out your eggs, milk, and flour the night before. The morning of, put everything together as described in 2nd paragraph. Easy-peasy. And the best part? Little clean up. Leave the pan in the sink to soak while you're at work!

Great loaf of banana bread

Do you have Rose Levy Berenbaum's Baking Bible? Her Irish Cream Scones are magic. Genius. Easy. Fabulous.

I'd make baked oatmeal or 20 min apples turnovers https://food52.com/recipes/31541-20-minute-apple-turnovers.

Mrs. Larkin's Royal Wedding Scones (on this site) can be made the night before and simply chilled. I make my own clotted cream, but whipped sweet cream and butter with a good jam would be awesome. If you need to provide additionally to this, I'd serve sausage, ham and/or bacon on the side with some fresh juices.

May I recommend soda bread. Very easy, not too sweet, a little different than typical fare. You can use dried cherries or cranberries (or none) if you don't like raisins.

I do something similar to chezhenry, although I tend to use challah/brioche and to either slice or cube it. I also will add cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla -- along with Cointreau -- to my custard base. And, sometimes, I'll also add maple syrup.

I make a Baked French Toast-basically you butter a 9x13" pan, then line it with a good white bread (I only use Pepperidge Farm). Make a custard/French toast batter with a tablespoon or two of Cointreua/Grand Marnier added in, and pour over the bread. Wrap and into the fridge overnight, pulled out prior to your guest arrive and baked. It rises like a soufflé-served family style, it's always a hit at my weekend home with our guests and my family alike.

Or you could always make a quick bread like this Lemon Breakfast Bread if you'd rather not go through the hassle of making individual muffins: http://www.healthline.com/health-recipes/lemon-breakfast-bread

A buttery German pancake with powdered sugar and lemon wedges is simple and impressive. The David Ayers pancake recipe is one version: https://food52.com/recipes/7645-david-eyre-s-pancake

Why, Texas Breakfast Beer Bread of course! :-)

Is this a coffee + occasion or a meal? If the first, go for any muffin you like loaded with fruit &/or nuts. Or scones (muffins on their sides) with currants, butternut squash & sage (Mrs larkin recipe here), plenty of butter and cheese. If it's more a meal, I'd go with the suggested quiche, or savory waffles pancakes or French toast...top with cheese or corned beef hash to round out the meal.
