Treat Mom to a leisurely brunch of eggs Benedict, fluffy pancakes, and quiche, with mimosas and a fresh fruit tart for good measure.

Appetizers

Candied Bacon

Candied Bacon

Sweet, sticky, and irresistibly crispy — candied bacon is one of those magical recipes that transforms a humble ingredient into something truly spectacular. Thick-cut bacon is coated in brown sugar and a touch of black pepper, then baked low and slow until it caramelizes into glossy, lacquered strips. It's equally at home on a brunch platter, crumbled over salads, tucked into sandwiches, or devoured straight off the rack. Simple ingredients, foolproof method, unforgettable results.

Salads

Fresh Fruit Salad

Fresh Fruit Salad

A vibrant, crowd-pleasing fresh fruit salad dressed with a light honey-lime syrup and a hint of fresh mint. This classic recipe uses a colorful mix of seasonal fruits that stay bright and fresh for hours. Perfect for brunches, potlucks, barbecues, or a simple healthy snack — it comes together in minutes and always disappears fast.

Breakfast

Almond Flour Pancakes

Almond Flour Pancakes

These almond flour pancakes are tender, hearty and delicious. Plus, they're gluten-free and lower in carbohydrates than most. The recipe yields about 12 pancakes (it can be easily halved, but extra pancakes freeze well, so I suggest making the full batch).

Apple Oatmeal Pancakes

Apple Oatmeal Pancakes

Fluffy apple pancakes that you can make in your blender! These healthy pancakes are gluten free, too (no flour required, just oats!). Recipe yields 6 medium pancakes about 4 inches in diameter. FAIR WARNING: For reasons that I have not been able to deduce, these pancakes haven't turned out well for everyone like they did for me (I've made them six times and they always turned out well!). Oat flour is always a little finicky but I don't know why these pancakes have been particularly problematic. These pancakes are the reason why my cookbook's pancakes aren't oat flour based.

Banana Coconut Muffins

Banana Coconut Muffins

These naturally sweetened banana coconut muffins taste like a tropical treat. They're so tender and flavorful, I bet you can't tell they're made with 100% whole wheat flour! Recipe yields 1 dozen muffins.

French Toast Casserole

French Toast Casserole

A classic overnight French toast casserole that transforms a loaf of bread into a golden, custardy, crowd-pleasing breakfast bake. Thick slices soak up a rich egg-and-cream mixture overnight, then bake up puffy and tender inside with a lightly crisp top. Finished with a buttery brown sugar streusel, it's the ultimate make-ahead brunch dish — just pop it in the oven the morning of and let it do the work.

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

This Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is a wholesome, comforting breakfast dish that combines hearty oats, toasted pecans, and warm spices baked into a satisfying casserole. Perfect for meal prep or a cozy weekend brunch, it offers a delicious way to start your day with a nutritious, make-ahead oatmeal that's both filling and flavorful.

Berry Pancakes

Berry Pancakes

Fluffy, golden pancakes loaded with juicy mixed berries in every bite. This classic, well-tested recipe delivers perfectly tender pancakes with crisp edges — the kind that stack beautifully and disappear fast. Whether you use blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a mix, the result is a breakfast everyone at the table will love. Simple pantry ingredients, one bowl, and about 30 minutes is all it takes.

Blueberry Smoothie

Blueberry Smoothie

Make this blueberry smoothie for breakfast! This smoothie recipe is creamy, luscious and so nutritious. You'll need frozen blueberries and bananas, almond butter and almond milk. Recipe yields 2 servings (about 4 cups); you can easily halve or double the recipe.

Classic Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Classic Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Soft, pillowy cinnamon rolls with a gooey brown sugar-cinnamon filling and a thick, tangy cream cheese glaze. This is the kind of recipe that fills your home with an irresistible aroma and brings everyone to the kitchen. Made from scratch with a reliable, forgiving dough — no stand mixer required — these rolls come out perfectly tender every time.

Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast

A simple, satisfying classic that's become a staple for good reason. Creamy mashed avocado seasoned with lemon, garlic, and flaky salt piled high on perfectly golden toast. This recipe nails the fundamentals — the right avocado ripeness, a seasoning balance that makes the flavors pop, and a handful of finishing touches that take it from basic to brilliant. Ready in under 10 minutes and endlessly customizable.

Brunch

Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict

A brunch classic done right — perfectly poached eggs with silky, lemony hollandaise sauce, stacked on toasted English muffins with savory Canadian bacon. This approachable, well-tested recipe breaks the dish into manageable steps so everything comes together without stress. The blender hollandaise is foolproof and every bit as rich and delicious as the traditional method.

Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine

A timeless French classic — buttery, flaky pastry shell filled with a silky, rich custard of eggs, cream, crispy bacon, and nutty Gruyère cheese. This well-tested home recipe is approachable and forgiving, producing a perfectly set, golden quiche every time. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold — it's elegant enough for brunch guests and practical enough for weeknight dinners.

Spinach and Feta Frittata

Spinach and Feta Frittata

A golden, fluffy frittata packed with wilted spinach, creamy feta, and savory aromatics. This classic Italian-American egg dish comes together in one oven-safe skillet — stovetop to oven — making it a foolproof, crowd-pleasing meal for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. It's just as good warm as it is at room temperature, making it perfect for entertaining or weekly meal prep.

Smoked Salmon Bagels

Smoked Salmon Bagels

A classic New York-style smoked salmon bagel loaded with silky lox, velvety cream cheese, crisp red onion, briny capers, and fresh dill on a perfectly toasted bagel. This iconic combination is effortless to assemble yet feels indulgent every time — perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a quick, satisfying lunch.

Desserts

Classic French Fruit Tart

Classic French Fruit Tart

A timeless French pâtisserie staple made approachable for the home baker. A buttery, crisp shortcrust pastry shell is filled with silky vanilla pastry cream, then crowned with a colorful arrangement of fresh seasonal fruit and a glossy apricot glaze. It looks stunning, tastes even better, and every component can be made ahead — making it perfect for entertaining.

Snacks

Almond Coconut Granola Bars

Almond Coconut Granola Bars

These homemade granola bars are a healthy and delicious snack! Made simply with almonds, coconut, oats, almond or peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup. These bars require about 15 minutes of prep time, then an hour-long rest in the refrigerator to set. Recipe yields 16 granola bars.

Drinks

Classic Mimosa

Classic Mimosa

The quintessential brunch cocktail — bright, bubbly, and effortlessly elegant. A perfect mimosa is all about the ratio: equal parts chilled fresh orange juice and cold sparkling wine, poured gently to preserve every bubble. Simple, festive, and endlessly crowd-pleasing for any morning celebration.

Peach Bellini

Peach Bellini

A timeless Italian cocktail born at Harry's Bar in Venice, the Peach Bellini is elegantly simple — silky fresh peach purée meets chilled Prosecco for a blush-pink, lightly sparkling drink that feels instantly celebratory. This home version uses ripe peaches (or a frozen shortcut) and a touch of lemon juice to keep the purée bright and vibrant. It's the perfect brunch cocktail: light, fruity, and endlessly crowd-pleasing.
