As Fall slowly creeps in on our last few days of Summer it is finally time to put away our strappy sandals and trade them for a pair of cozy wool socks. With the chilly weather outside, motivation to go out for Sunday brunch seems to have vanished. Luckily, here are five great at-home brunch recipes for any occasion, from impressing your in-laws to treating yourself to good food while curling up in bed.
Herb Crêpes with Hollandaise sauce.
Get ready to impress anyone with this recipe. A simple yet rich and delectable recipe I have mastered over the years. These crêpes are great and versatile for a brunch with friends and family. They are customizable to the guests’ preferences. Don’t like ham? Swap it for onions and zucchini. Fan of cheese? Throw some brie in there!
Quick tip: If you want to make this recipe even easier skip the homemade Hollandaise sauce step and replace it with a Knorr’s Classic Hollandaise Sauce Mix packet. Add butter and milk to the mixture and voilà! Simple but equally as tasty as the fancy version, guaranteed.
Having quality brunch time with young kids can be a hassle. One wants to watch cartoons and the other is screaming for food as early as 6 AM on a Sunday. With this easy and quick German Oven Pancakes recipe, make family brunch a painless and enjoyable experience at last. They take less than 5 minutes to prepare and come out of the oven looking like luxurious European delicacies. What is there not to like?
Weekends are great for staying in and relaxing but, unfortunately, life often catches up and we end up running errands all day or working from home. Here is a vegan smoothie bowl recipe to help start your day with a boost of energy, making any busy Sunday a little less painful. Simply blend, top with your favourite toppings and enjoy.
Avocado Toasts are a great way to impress anyone while making very little effort. This particular recipe combines three truly great components: avocado, poached eggs and parmesan. A great way to kick-start the weekend; cozy wool socks on and your favourite Netflix show in the background.
A classic in my family for decades now: The infamous Orange and Almond Cake. A truly delicious and original brunch recipe for any occasion. This is the ultimate recipe to prove wrong anyone who has ever doubted your cooking skills. Bake a full cake on the weekend a grab a slice on the go every morning of the work week.
Quick tip: The author here suggests making a vanilla cream to drizzle over the cake but even without it this Orange and Almond Cake is truly exceptional!
