Any great breakfast recipes for my friend who just opened A Bed & Breakfast?

I went to a B&B years ago, and asked for their recipe for the DELICIOUS baked grapefruit they served in the morning. I don't usually like grapefruit, but this was incredible!! Baked Grapefruit HalvesPrep: 15 minutesBake: 12 minutesIngredients 3 red grapefruit 1 large orange, peeled and sectioned 1 medium banana, sliced 1/3 cup orange- or lemon-flavored or regular pitted dried plums (prunes), coarsely snipped 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional) 1 tablespoon margarine or butter, cut into small pieces 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Halve each grapefruit; cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each half so grapefruit will sit flat. Use a grapefruit knife or other small knife to cut around the outer edge to loosen fruit from shell. Cut between each segment to loosen it from membrane. In a bowl combine orange sections, banana slices, prunes, and if using, liqueur. Mound the orange mixture atop the grapefruit halves. Dot each half with margarine or butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over fruit mixture. Place in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes or until grapefruit is warm and topping is hot. Makes 6 servings.

The batter can be mixed in the food processor, and the whole thing comes out of the oven at once: no slaving away over a hot stove while the hordes clamor for their share! Egalitarian--and completely delicious.Caramelized apples and tender cake make a fabulous combination, and the presentation is pretty, a factor if you have guests.INGREDIENTS1/2 (1/4 cup) stick unsalted butter1 1/4 pounds firm, tart apples (about 3 medium), such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices1/4 cup granulated sugar1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon3 large eggs1/2 cup whole or lowfat milk1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour1/4 teaspoon saltConfectioner’s sugar1. Preheat oven to 425F. Melt butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet. Add apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to brown and most of the juices have evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.2. Combine eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. (This can also be done with an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk.)3. Spread the browned apples evenly across the bottom of the pan. Pout the batter over the apples. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the pancake is golden and puffed, 18 to 20 minutes.4. Remove the pan from the oven and let the pancake rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar, cut into wedges, and serve immediately.Serves 4-6.Helpful Hints:Be sure to use an all-metal ovenproof skillet to make this pancake; plastic or rubber handles will melt!http://www.care2.com/channels/solutions/food/1003

keep it simple. Not everyone likes a "farmhand" breakfast with all the trimmings. put out things like fresh breads, bagels, hot and cold cereal, fresh fruit, some hot dishes and cassaroles. You can go full out and set up omelette stations and grill stations. The more work the earlier you have to get up. You could hook up with a bakery and get the bread and some pasteries too.
