I have my very first Brunch show on 4/22. I'm trying to decide on some dishes for the host to pick from. I have three main dish ideas all of which take about 30 mins in the oven. I'm looking for some side dish ideas that would be stove top or no cook. I'd love to use the Family Skillet I earned in March.

Can anyone help?
 
ham cheddar croissant bakeI have done 3 brunches and 2 of them were this recipe.
I used the 12 professional family skillet because I did not have casserole or deep dish that the recipe called for. It came it beautifully and everyone loved it both times.

It has a 35 min bake time and 10 min set-cool time so you could do it ahead of time then do the 2nd recipe as demo? As a side kick dish I did the cinnamon bites or pull apart bread in the 8" saute pan At all 3 of my brunches and everyone just loves those!
 
I've done the Ham & Cheddar Croissant Bake too at lots of brunch shows and it's great! You can prep lots of the ingredients beforehand and just leave a few chops here and there to demo. It shows lots of tools! I've done the apple cinnamon pull apart bread with it too and that goes over well.:)

Cinn pull apartsCan either of you share that recipe? I looked in the files, but couldn't find it.
 
It's on Consultant's Corner under Recipes. You'll find it in the Fall/Winter 2005 Season's Best. Yum!

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into my brunch show?

Use Pampered Chef tools to prepare your brunch items live during the show. For example, you can use the Food Chopper for chopping vegetables for a quiche or the Mix 'N Chop for making a breakfast casserole. This allows guests to see the products in action and understand their benefits.
