What goes with popovers for a more "complete" breakfast?

[Doran]

I have been deliberating over what to prepare for our co-op cooking class on Friday. The suggestion was made to do something that would be suitable for a Special Mother's Day Breakfast (thanks to HollyinNNV). My girls, who are in the class, love making popovers. So, we're thinking that would be a great choice. While they're baking, though, I'll need to have the group working on a couple of other things to round out a possible Mother's Day menu. Fresh strawberries seems good. Maybe fresh whipped cream.

Any other thoughts on something the kids (middle high and up) could make/do that would be tasty, not terribly complicated, and easily prepared in about half an hour - which is what we'll have left after preparing the popovers?

YUM - the popovers sound delicious! What about a chocolate sauce for the "bon-bon" moms like me? (of course, I'd add the strawberries and fresh cream as well). Or - see my brain storming? - teach them to make a caramel sauce.

How's about teach ME? LOL!! That's one I've never tackled.

Large quantities of coffee! ;)

If you put in large amounts of cream, somehow...magically...you will have a complete protein.

At least thats my story.

How about a parfait?
Plain yogurt drizzled with honey or agave nectar and layered with fresh fruit.

Soft boiled eggs?

Crustless Quiche?

This is as simple as caramel gets, Doran. And moms from your group will be singing your praises and coming to do your laundry if you make this. (Not sure on the laundry part, but it's nice to dream, isn't it?)

I would want something with protein in it - maybe some scrambled eggs (you could always add stuff - onions, ham, cheese, tomatoes. . . to make it more festive!) But then I've had trouble with being pre-diabetic and my dh is diabetic so I always want to balance the carbs with protein!

Jam. Do you need anything else? ;)

Well, soft boiled eggs if you must I suppose...

Maybe some sort of egg casserole?

These are terrific ideas. The only problem is that I've got to keep it simple enough that a bunch of kids and I can manage it in a short space of time. So, I'm afraid quiche and casseroles are not going to fit. I agree with the desire for some protein to round out the carbs. So, yes, maybe something super-simple, like scrambled eggs? I can't do soft boiled. Too many years of egg washing ruined me for any thing less cooked than over-medium. :D

I also like the parfait idea, except that this time of year the only fruit available locally is strawberries. Hey, wait -- I could just do strawberries and yogurt right?!? D'oh! :tongue_smilie:
