Here are some of my favorite recipes for a wonderful Mother's Day brunch or special breakfast. Choose from elegant crepes, wonderfully easy baked French toast, breakfast casseroles, fancy eggs, and more. Whether you are a beginning cook or quite comfortable in the kitchen, there's a recipe for you!
These crepes are delicious with the flavorful peach brandy sauce and poached nectarines, but fresh peaches would work very well in this recipe. Plan a little ahead for this recipe -- the crepe batter should be made 1 hour or more before cooking. Top these crepes off with a little whipped cream and orange zest strands or fresh blueberries.
Spicy andouille sausage makes this breakfast or brunch sandwich extra-special. Add a few tomatoes to the plate with a drizzling of vinaigrette, or serve with home fries for a hearty meal. This recipe will make 2 medium sandwiches or 1 large sandwich, but it can easily be doubled or tripled for a larger family or gathering.
This breakfast casserole is a tasty combination of eggs, bread, sausage, diced tomatoes and green onions, and Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese. It's one of our favorite breakfast casserole recipes.
For an extra-special Mother's Day brunch, try serving the eggs with fresh juice or orange juice and champagne mimosas, along with sliced and diced fresh fruit.
These blueberry ricotta pancakes are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, and they're easy to prepare. Ricotta cheese gives them a wonderful texture and orange juice gives them extra flavor.
A little bacon or ham jazzes up this easy, hearty breakfast or lunch sandwich. For a lighter sandwich, make it light bread instead of the croissant, or use only 1 egg or egg substitute and omit the bacon or ham.
