I love an elegant brunch, but sometimes it seems like I need at least eight hands in order to get everything together in order. What would you say if I told you there are some fantastic tricks out there for making it all fall together like magic?
French toast meets bread pudding in a make ahead brunch dish that puts all the effort into the night before so you can wake up, put it in the oven, and enjoy a cup of coffee while you read the paper and your home begins to smell amazing. Good morning!
Quiche is surprisingly easy to make, especially when you have fresh ingredients to act as fillings without much preparation. Then it's 1-2-3 … egg pie! At least, that's what it gets called with a youngster in the nest.
Stratas are a brunch-lover's dream. You can put them together in the evening and pop them in the oven for baking in the morning and you've got a fuss-free brunch dish that always appeals. This time, everything bagels make for a special morning casserole.
I always seem to be on the lookout for the next best pancake and waffle recipe or mix, but now I think my search has come to the end. My secret? Plain 'ol boring white vinegar. Your breakfast will never be lighter, fluffier, or crisper!
One of my favorite sandwiches inspires a great frittata and breakfast will never be the same. Lest you think a frittata is too much fuss, understand that it can be on the table in about 20 minutes and doesn't even require you to flip the eggs!
When it's time for brunch and you just don't want another quiche or pancake, mix it up a bit with a batch of spicy breakfast enchiladas. Whether on their own or as part of a festive brunch buffet, they are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
'Tis the perfect time of the year for a glorious brunch. And, instead of toast or muffins, contemplate how beautiful a brunch buffet will look when graced with a large platter of fresh blueberry scones drizzled with a pearly white glaze.
It's pretty common for Easter brunch to be the meal of the day. Make yours even more festive with some elegant crepes featuring the flavors of lemon and cheesecake. Then, for a touch of whimsy and a nod to the holiday, make your own little Easter "egg" on each plate!
I often turn to muffins and specialty breads when it comes time to flex my baking muscles for breakfast. One of my goals for 2015 is to expand that repertoire to include more variety. In that spirit, I am tackling scones and finding out how very sweet scones can be.
