Pamper your mom on Sunday with an epic brunch spread in the comfort of her own home. This ready-to-cook menu has everything you’ll need: several main course options, a vibrant fruit salad, a sweet treat, a baked good, even a refreshing brunch cocktail you can mix up in advance. Make some or make them all, but we can guarantee they’ll all be mom-approved!
Strawberry-Gin Spritzer
Choose your own adventure with this fruity spritzer from Goodtaste. The fresh strawberry syrup, a key ingredient of this cocktail, can be mixed into mocktails or swirled with vodka or light golden rum instead of gin. Consider pre-batching two different versions of the drink to please your entire family!
Smashed Potato and Ramp Frittata
Ramps, a member of the allium family that have a subtle leek-like flavor with a faint garlic essence, are available for only a short time in spring. This Food 52 frittata recipe starts with sautéed potatoes mashed and seasoned with the wild, earthy ramps to create a savory crust for the egg topping. A generous helping of Boursin cheese adds a creamy decadence. If you can’t find ramps at your farmers market, substitute green onions or leeks.
Chilaquiles Breakfast Strata
Chilaquiles are corn tortilla chips cooked in a spicy tomato sauce and topped with cheese and fried eggs. They’re a Mexican breakfast staple, but they require a lot of attention at the stovetop. In this Goodtaste original recipe, we’ve taken all of the flavor and crispy bites of the original dish and made them into an easy-baked casserole. It’s a hands-off way to make chilaquiles for a crowd—and it’s gluten-free!
Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Waffles
Life hack: Waffle irons can be used for more than your average waffle! Damn Delicious uses an iron to crisp up silky hash browns mixed with cubed ham and sharp cheddar cheese for a savory yet salty bite. These “waffles” will be a hit with the younger crowd, but they’ll be hard for any age to resist!
Green Mango Salad
Underripe mangos add a unique tang and texture to this easy, toss-together salad from Food & Wine. Although the dish packs a punch on its own, it is the perfect bright accompaniment to the loaded Chilaquiles Strata.
Honey-Ricotta Mousse with Strawberries
Plump and juicy strawberries perch delicately on a cloud of creamy ricotta, subtly sweetened with honey and vanilla in this sophisticated recipe from Food & Wine. Whip it up in under 15 minutes and refrigerate until ready to serve. Mom will ask for the recipe!
Peanut Butter Banana Bread
No brunch is complete without something sweet! This cake-like banana loaf from Goodtaste will keep you full until dinner, and a slice would also make a great midday snack. Try toasting a piece of day-old bread and melting a pat of salted butter or a smear of cream cheese on top!
