I have a lock in at the church this weekend with the ladies and I am in charge of breakfast. Problem is, we only have a microwave and refridgerator. I was thinking about maybe my deep covered baker. Anyone made any breakfast in it? TIA!!!
 
Sorry I haven't, but I wonder if you could do an egg casserole in it.
 
you need to do a fundraiser for them and earn money for a stove and ovenyou obviously, aren't Methodist..... every meeting and time the door is open at our church there's a meal going on :)
 
Thats a great idea to do a fundraiser for them!

What about a bread pudding. Those are great warm or cold!
 
hmm no clue wish i could help!
 
i just made the german apple pancake and it was delicious in the oven. perhaps the microwave would do just as well, since i've had mom's apple crisp before made from the oven in a DDB. good luck! :chef:

I like the bread pudding idea. i will hunt for that recipe.

On a side note, I did just do a fundraiser for them last week, and they got a ton of prep tools, since we dont have our oven yet. We have been in the new church less than a year, so we are slowly getting things together.

We are Baptist and eat at every event as well, LOL. We just carry in all our goodies.

This Friday night all the ladies are going out to dinner then we are coming back to the church to watch movies and spend the night. Still trying to figure out how they talked me into this lockin, LOL.
 
Here is the bread pudding recipe that was in the SB for the DCB when it first came out. The only tip I have for it is to use caramel ice cream topping instead of melting all of the caramels!

Another nice breakast idea that I have done for shows is to do a Yogurt Parfait in the Trifle Bowl.

2 large containers of vanilla yogurt
1 8 ounce container cool whip
mix these 2 together.

1 large box of granola

3-4 cups of fresh or frozen cut up fruit. I l like to mix fresh strawberries w/ frozen raspberries and blueberries.

Layer these in the trifle bowl, and end with a sprinkle of granola. Serve with fresh baked muffins or coffee cake (you could make this ahead).
 
I would do the yogurt parfait in the Trifle Bowl and Mini Muffins made in the DMMP

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some quick microwave breakfast ideas for a church lock-in?

Some quick microwave breakfast ideas include scrambled eggs in a mug, oatmeal cups, microwave breakfast burritos, and mini quiches made in a muffin tin. These options are easy to prepare and can be customized with various toppings and ingredients.

Can I prepare breakfast items in advance for a lock-in?

Yes, you can prepare several breakfast items in advance. Overnight oats, breakfast casseroles, and smoothie packs can be made the night before and stored in the fridge. This allows for easy serving and minimal preparation during the lock-in.

How can I keep breakfast items warm during the lock-in?

To keep breakfast items warm, use insulated containers or slow cookers set to warm. You can also cover dishes with foil or lids to retain heat. If you have access to a microwave, reheating items as needed can also help maintain warmth.

Are there any no-cook breakfast options for a church lock-in?

Absolutely! No-cook breakfast options include yogurt parfaits with granola and fruit, cold cereal with milk, bagels with cream cheese, and fruit smoothies. These options are simple to assemble and require no cooking, making them perfect for a lock-in.
