Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.

2/3 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup water
2 lemons, juiced
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 bay leaves
4 cloves garlic, lightly bruised
10 whole peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 pound fresh mushrooms, whole
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
Combine olive oil, water, lemon juice, bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, and salt in an enameled or stainless skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Strain the liquid back into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add mushrooms and cook slowly, about 5 minutes. Let mushrooms cool in the liquid.
Bring a large stock pot of salted water to a boil. Cook asparagus only until fork-tender, about one minute. Plunge immediately into a bowl of ice water. Drain.
Combine asparagus with the mushrooms, liquid and all. Toss gently to coat and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
