Ideas needed ASAP for work breakfast (retreat)

My unit is having a retreat on Monday and we're supposed to bring 1 item each to share for breakfast.

I am really BROKE at this time and am trying to think of something cheap but good that I could bring enuff for 8 people.

Food others have already volunteered to bring are:
Donuts
Bagels
Muffins
Devilled eggs
Drinks

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated ASAP.. Am trying to think of something before tmr morning.

How about something fruity - make a fruit salad of what ever fruit is in season - just a thought

fruit can be expensive.... I have a great recipe that uses eggs, frozen brocolli, ham and cheese. You can use deli ham. I'm not sure if this would cost too much or not......

How about some cream cheese/jam's for the bagels and muffins??????? Or the infamous paper plates/napkins/kives and other silverware????

These are good ideas. Keep them coming..

Clarification- I think it need to be something that doesn't need to be warmed up since I will have to either make in the morning or buy on the way. (I LOVE scrambled eggs- HOT! Grin)

Our dept has supplies already (plates, knifes, etc)..

The guy bringing bagels will be bringing cream cheese/jam,etc..

Keep the ideas coming.. THANKS!

What about something to drink. You could get a gallon of oj and a gallon of milk. that should be less than 5 dollars.

my recipe makes "squares" that can be had cold or at room temperature.

How about a coffee cake from the grocery store?

A couple of melons (maybe different colours) wouldn't be too expensive and you could cut them into cubes and serve them prettily with cocktail sticks. That looks like you've gone to a lot of trouble.

HOw about some ham & cheese cressents? Get the Pillsbury Grands kind in the can (I think it has 8 per can), unroll them put ham and cheese inside then roll them up and bake according to pckg directions.

(probably cost you about $8 for everything)

You could do this in the morning before you leave and even if they cool off they are good cool too!

1) A loaf or two of homemade bread would cost hardly anything.

2)Maybe 8 apples and 8 bananas in a bowl? I know some fruits can be expensive but apples and bananas are pretty affordable.

3) A batch of oatmeal cookies would be quite inexpensive.

How about strawberries or some kind of melon and cheddar cheese skewers?

Bacon and cold biscuits (canned or frozen or homeade?)

I would probably go for the juice idea - probably cheaper for you in the long run.

Yep - Juice would proably be cheaper...

How about scotch pancakes? You know, the really little ones (also called drop scones I think)? You could make them or buy them, wack them in the toaster et voila!

What about some Jelly? with a can of tinned berries or something?

I would definitely go with a fruit platter! You can get some yummy fruit in season this time of year! Do you have a local produce stand? Your grocery store will also have wonderful cantaloupe, water melon, yummy, juicy peaches and strawberries! These aren't highly expensive, the watermelon probably costing the most, but you could leave that out should you choose to do so. Perhaps some seedless grapes as well! I was thinking probably not apples since they will quickly begin to oxidize and not look very attractive.
All you'll need to do is cut the cantaloupe into chunks as well as the watermelon if used, then slice the peaches or whatever other fruit you select! You may or may not want to cut the stems off the strawberries. You could even slice your melon the night before and refrigerate it over night in a sealed container or wrapped. As a huge shortcut, your grocery store may already carry lovely already prepared fruit platters!

I would go with the fruit idea. I'm not sure what your budget for the event is, but you can find 3 lb. bags of apples or oranges for about $3.50, and a good sized bunch of bananas would be about $4.00.

The great thing about uncut fruit is if no one eats it, you can bring it home!

scones!! toast is also pretty cheap:-\\
