While the grand Easter spread is the hallmark of a great celebration, brunch can be a simple but special affair on the day. Sprucing up everyday breakfasts to make them feel more festive is a great way to have the family celebrate more intimately before guests come over.
For any breakfast or brunch, eggs are a reliable component to enjoy over toasted English muffins and a silky hollandaise sauce.
Imagine all the elements of a full breakfast – bacon, eggs, mushrooms, hashbrowns and cheese inside of a flaky pastry shell!
Experiment with all kinds of savoury flavour combinations to make this one-pan breakfast that can be prepped ahead and stuck into the oven just in time for brunch.
Those who prefer their brunches to start on a sweet note have the choice of relishing crispy and fluffy waffles made using a buttermilk batter, doused with syrup and fresh fruit.
As a preview to all the amazing flavours of an Easter spread, the shakshouka is perfect to add some Goan chorizo to, or even roasted bell peppers to make it tasty.
Use the base of regular pancake batter and skip the sugar to add chopped bacon, spring onions and cheese instead – resulting in fluffy pancakes that you can eat with a spicy maple butter.
If you’re saving your appetite for the indulgent Easter lunch, start off healthy with a coconut milk based smoothie bowl topped with homemade granola, fruits, seeds and nuts.
