Baguette Breakfast Boats
Starting with a rich egg custard housed in a golden-brown baguette, this dish allows guests to “build their own boat,” one suitable for toppings like hash browns, bacon, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. We’re on board with this recipe!
Cornmeal Biscuits with Cheddar, Chives, and Jalapeños
This twist on a classic from Brit + Co. takes the main ingredients of Grandma’s biscuits (crunchy cornmeal, buttermilk, sugar, and salt) and pairs them with some inspired newcomers: chopped jalapeños, chives, and grated sharp cheddar. Perfect for a springtime brunch, they also work for Thanksgiving, Christmas, you name it!
Hash Brown Breakfast Nests
These adorable hash brown “nests” from Goodtaste rely on ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry! Each cup is layered with crispy hash browns, crumbled chorizo, spinach, egg, and cheese. It’s an entire brunch spread in one bite! Accompany with some fresh fruit and mimosas, and brunch is served!
Grilled Strawberry-Avocado Toasts with Burrata
Take your daily avocado toast to the next level and make it worthy of your Easter guests! This toast from Food & Wine is loaded with creamy burrata cheese, chopped avocado, and charred strawberries and scallions. Serve them with some slow-cooked scrambled eggs on the side and we promise this will become a new brunch favorite.
3-Ingredient Banana Pancakes
Toss out the instant pancake mix—these pancakes from Good Housekeeping are beyond easy! The simple 3-ingredient batter comes together in a blender, giving you a light and airy pancake. The secret? Self-rising flour. This shortcut ingredient gives your pancakes lift without baking powder.
Red, White & Blue Puff Pastry Tart
Frozen puff pastry is one of our go-to shortcut ingredients. It looks elegant and impressive, but all you have to do is roll it out and bake! In this recipe from the blog Recipes from a Pantry, a baked puff pastry crust is topped with a sweetened cream cheese spread. Top with your favorite in-season fruit and a dusting of powdered sugar. Your guests will not believe it only took you 25 minutes.
Spring Onion Frittata
Colorful spring vegetables are the star of this easy frittata. This recipe makes enough for 2 to 3 people, but if you’re expecting a larger group, then double the recipe and use a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Serve warm or at room temperature with toasted multigrain bread, fresh fruit and some seared breakfast sausage.
