Breakfast for dinner, or “Brinner” as we like to call it, is a common occurrence around our house. When I forget to set out the meat to thaw at dinner, or look in my pantry and realize I forgot one crucial ingredient at the store to make the recipe I had bookmarked, I turn to breakfast foods to keep us from ordering takeout.
When the folks at Eggland’s Best invited me to host a Brinner Party with some of our friends and family, I jumped at the chance. I love unique party ideas and thought that we could have a fun time with this.
We chose to have our Eggland’s Best Brinner Party outside one evening last week. I made a combination of breakfast dishes as well as some typical picnic food, just to keep things interesting.
Our friends and family enjoyed Dole’s Broccoli Slaw Quiche, Breakfast Pizza Casserole, Deviled Eggs, Egg Salad Sandwiches, fresh fruit salad, BLT Salad and homemade Buttered Salted Caramel ice cream for dessert. (Recipes can be found by following each individual link).
It was a nice, relaxing evening full of great food, fun and friends – just exactly what we needed!
Eggland’s Best would love to give you the opportunity to host your own Brinner party. They will be giving one Dine & Dish reader their very own Brinner kit, which includes:
- 2 Free Eggland’s Best Dozen coupons (Any variety- classic, cage-free, or organic)
