Going to a 40+ person week long family reunion. I'm on breakfast detail and am looking for some unique and fun ideas. I will also bring an outdoor 36" griddle. Eggs, omelettes, pancakes are a given.

Anything else?
TIA

Not sure it's unique but a make your own breakfast taco bar is delicious and easy. Black beans, ground sausage, shredded hash browns, eggs, cheese, salsa, onions, peppers, tortillas

I have nothing of significance to add but the fact that I would literally off myself before I participated in this type of event and I, for the most part, like my family.

What do you mean like jack off yourself? In front of your family? You must be European

Other than a grittle what type of equipment will you have access to?

If an oven you could do some baked items such as fritattas or casseroles (hash brown, french toast)

To each is his own
My wife's family did these about once every theee years.
40-50 people. Hilton Head one year. Ojia, Ca another year.
Lots of wine, food and fun
Not something every year but it was great getting everyone together
Guess your family sucks
Sorry

Grits and grillades works great for a big crowd....you cook the grits overnight in a crockpot, make grillades ahead and the am is easy. Add some fruit salad as a side.

If your family likes competing and cooking, you could have a biscuit cook off....which could also be a scratch biscuit making lesson for the non cooks.

I would stick with breakfast casseroles and frittatas to be honest. That's a big group to feed and I would think that keeping it simple would be the best strategy.

Cajun hash browns like Louies Cafe does.

Potatoes are cheap and are heavy. So they fill people up.

Pre bake a bunch of potatoes and cut them into quarters. Keep them in the fridge until ready to cook.

Put them on the grill with oil, a generous amount of chopped onions, and your choice of seasoning such as Tony's. Add a little water during cooking to moisten them up.

** If you cook bacon or sausage first you can use the grease drippings to brown the potatoes.

Agree. And they can be made in the crock pot. So you can cook while you sleep.
