Still looking for the perfect gift for mum this Mother’s Day? We suggest quality time and a delicious brunch spread. Get inspired with our list of brunch favourites that will surely make mum happy.
The best thing about preparing up brunch is you get to combine the yummy bits of brekky and lunch. It’s a laid-back meal that mums can enjoy with family and friends. Plus, brunch recipes are easy enough for partners and kids to pull together. Here are a few suggestions you can try.
Mexican-style baked eggs
The combined flavours of avocado, eggs, and corn on crisp tortilla make this Mexican-inspired dish a winning brunch option. It only takes half an hour to make. And with everything cooked in one skillet, clean-up is just as quick.
Quiche three ways
When you can’t decide whether to serve food with bacon, chicken, or seafood for brunch, these three delicious recipes for quiche can help settle your dilemma. Quiche with various fillings is also easy and quick to make for any guests who might pop in.
Zucchini fritters
Here’s a good substitute for the usual breakfast pancakes. Simply combine grated zucchini, eggs, flour, and cheese together then pan-fry until golden. It’s even better when served with sour cream or chili sauce for dipping.
Poached eggs with hollandaise sauce
If you have egg-poaching skills up your sleeve, this is the perfect time to show off and impress mum. If not, we have the perfect technique to help you and it’s called an egg poacher!
French toast with blueberries
French toast is never too ordinary for a special brunch, especially when you spice it up with cinnamon, blueberries, and Greek yoghurt. Serve this to mum al fresco for that cafe-style dining experience.
Roast vegetable frittata
This particular recipe is made with potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes. It’s also the best brunch recipe to use up your leftover vegetables so they don’t go to waste.
Individual shakshouka
There’s something heart-warming about serving a meal in mini ramekins or skillets—the dish feels as if it was especially made for you. Give mum that happy feeling during breakfast by cooking a simple North African dish called shakshouka in beautiful, individual cocottes.
Brunch cocktails
Finally, no brunch party is complete without cocktails, right? We even have five easy recipes for you and mum to celebrate with, from classic bellini to Irish coffee to gin with elderflower cordial.
