Strata is a great idea and as long as everyone likes Thanksgiving stuffing, you know they will eat it. I also like making scrambled eggs served over toasted baguette slices with steamed leeks tossed in just a drizzle of heavy cream. Yummy! I'm not really a sweet tooth in the morning so I prefer breakfasts with eggs. A frittata is also a great way to feed a crowd.
If you don't want to do eggs, a nice selection of muffins or quickbreads and scones is usually a crowd pleaser as well.
