EASY BRUNCH IDEAS
We’re entering that phase of quarantine where the days tend to bleed together, and the edges between weekdays and weekends blur. I’ve been punctuating weekends by making a leisurely brunch with a fully set table and a meal that feels like you might get at a restaurant. It’s not truly brunching out with friends, but it’s definitely brought us some joy. I thought I’d share some easy brunch ideas that will take regular old breakfast up several notches. Maybe give one a try this upcoming weekend? Or treat yourself to an extra special weekday bruncheon.
Almond Flour Pancakes
These are a healthier version of regular pancakes. They have a delicious french toast texture, and the savory quality works really well with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Leek, Bacon & Sweet Potato Frittata
This dish got many compliments from Rich last weekend. It’s light & fluffy, uses spring ingredients, and the bacon adds a delicious salty crunch. It’s great with a side of greens and fruit.
Paleo Dutch Baby
A dutch baby is basically a massive pancake cooked in a pan or cast-iron skillet. It’s thicker and has crisp edges while the middle is soft and cakey. This recipe is a brunch showstopper, and it’s easy to share among a family.
Fresh Cherry Turnovers
These pastries are absolutely irresistible. They’ve got a buttery and flaky crust with a warm and sweet filling. You can substitute fresh cherries for a can of cherry pie filling if you’re in a hurry.
Cinnamon Baked Donuts With Maple Glaze
A healthier take on the classic cake donut, this simple cinnamon donut is baked rather than fried, and then coated with a sweet maple syrup glaze. It’s a milk-and-coffee’s-best-friend donut that’s just begging to be dunked.
Kuku Sabzi (Herb Omelette) With Creamy Yogurt Dipping Sauce
Kuku Sabzi is an omelet loaded with fresh herbs. So much so that it takes on a beautiful green color and bursts with flavor.
Apple Maple Galette
A galette is basically a rustic tart that tastes like pie but requires much less precision. This one is flaky and buttery and has a deliciously sweet apple-cinnamon filling.
Cucumber Hummus Avocado Toast
A heartier version of avocado toast, with a layer of creamy hummus, crunchy cucumbers, chili flakes, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
Easy Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls
And easier homemade cinnamon rolls recipe that uses pizza dough, which you can make or buy from the store. They’re gooey, buttery, sweet–everything a cinnamon roll should be.
