Breakfast item for work function

We're having a football season kickoff tailgate party at work on Wednesday. The usual people have signed up to bring their usual things. My go to is sausage balls, but I'm not feeling that this time around. So I just wrote Breakfast by my name on the sign up sheet. Most people bring lunch items or snacks, but we always like to get the party started at 8:15 so I want to bring something for that. I just checked the list, and someone else has signed up for breakfast casserole. I'm needing something that almost everyone can have a small serving of, that travels well, and doesn't need an oven to heat up once I get here. My wife said I should just pick up donuts, but that feels like mailing it in. Suggestions?

If you have a chick fila near you, I would get some of their little chicken biscuits.

I usually make breakfast burritos. You can make them the night before. I do some with eggs and sausage and some with eggs and bacon. Just fill them and add some cheese. Roll up and stack in an oven safe dish. Throw them in in the morning for about 20 minutes and cover with foil. They'll stay hot for a while.

Pick up a pack of assorted muffins from your go to bakery. Or you can buy a couple packs of different kinds of muffin mix and fix them yourself.

I'd go with your wife's suggestion

Pick up some canned crescent rolls, a couple of blocks of Philly cream cheese, one tube of hot ground pork sausage.
Brown the sausage in a pot, remove the sausage and drain. While it is draining put the cream cheese in the pot on low to melt it. Add the sausage back mix it through the cream cheese.
separate the crescent dough leaving them flat. Spoon cream cheese mixture onto each section of dough. Close the dough such that you have created a pocket.
Bake per the instruction on the can.
Not hard and most people love it. I typically go one tube of sausage, 2 blocks cream cheese per tube of crescents. Just multiply by how many you wish to make.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I may go with one of them.
There are about 50 here, but I won't be the only one bringing breakfast. And not everyone will eat it, so maybe 30-40 servings max.

Homemade cinnamon rolls! Everybody loves those

Pick up an assortment of bagels and breakfast pastries from Panera Bread.

Sour cream coffee cake always goes over well. Easy to make several of them.
Also, homemade blueberry muffins would work well.
You can make up breakfast burritos the night before, half them, wrap in foil and warm in the oven before work. Transport them in an ice chest to stay warm or you can put them in a large crockpot on warm to keep them warm. People will eat them at room temp, but the cheese isn't too melted that way.
Bring a bunch of cooked bacon with some buttered homemade biscuits and people will love you.
Pigs in a blanket made with breakfast sausage links or a good sausage.
Bacon or sausage (and maybe jalapeno) deviled eggs...easy to make ahead and no problems with keeping anything warm. People will eat deviled eggs all day long. I would love a good deviled egg in the morning. I eat hard boiled eggs all the time for mid day snacks. In fact, that's what I'd go with.

I like the pigs in a blanket idea because i would eat them cold or hot and you don't need a fork.

I'd be a pissed off coworker if you didn't bring the usual sausage balls. I think I can eat my weight in those things.

Pigs in a blanket is a great idea as well. I had forgotten about those.
LOL. One of the ladies actually asked me last time if I was bringing them because she was going to if I wasn't. I'm sure they've all looked at the sign up list and we'll have some there. It got to the point like 3 people were bringing their version. We had a blind vote and I took first by a large margin. They never use spicy sausage and that's the best way.

A nice fruit salad is a treat...kiwis, strawberries, blueberries, orange sections, mango, melon, pineapple, etc plus some toasted nuts and maybe big-flake toasted coconut. All you have to do is cut up the fruit & put it in a big bowl. Plus, it serves as a dessert/lighter snack later in the day.

Just passed through the break room and 3 of the ladies were standing there studying the list and trying to decide what to buy with the cash based on what was already signed up for. They said I'm bringing sausage balls really loud as I walked past them. I guess that decides it.
