To brunch or not to brunch?

The ultimate Pancakes: The king of the table

The ultimate Pancakes: The king of the table

Can you have brunch without pancakes? No way! They are the absolute star and you can make them take off in a thousand and two ways. If you want something quick and impressive, I have the solution for you:

Pancakes: Fluffy, super easy and ready in minutes. Drizzle with plenty of honey or maple syrup and... you're done!

Oven Pancake with Forest Fruits: Forget about setting it up over the pan! You pour the porridge into a baking pan, throw in fresh fruit and the oven does its magic. It comes out fluffy, juicy and it's sooooooooo perfect!

Pancake granola bowls: An incredible idea to combine the crunchy texture of granola with the sweetness of pancakes, served with a little cream cheese or yogurt and honey. Hell!

Eggs for... everyone!

Brunch without eggs simply doesn't exist, and that's why I have the best options for you:

Fluffy omelet: The classic, favorite choice that becomes very fluffy!

Poached eggs: With a perfect, honeyed yolk that breaks and floods the toasted bread!

Eggs with bacon, potato chips and parmesan cream: The version that combines the crispy texture of potatoes with the rich, velvety flavor of parmesan!

For the fit ones in the group: Chia bowls and energy

Because surely someone in the group will want something lighter but super nutritious, don't worry. Here we are:

Chia bowl with strawberry jam: You prepare the chia seeds with milk the night before to thicken and in the morning you serve with a quick, homemade strawberry jam without tons of sugar. Refreshing, healthy and delicious!

Classics & Favorites: Crepes for Everyone

If you want to play on a surefire board that kids and adults love, basic crepe batter is your secret weapon. You make a big pile and everyone makes their own combinations!

The secrets of success:

  • 1. Prep the night before: Make the batter for the pancakes or crepes the night before and keep them in the fridge. In the morning, just bake!
  • 2. Toppings in the center: Place bowls of honey, maple syrup, nuts, and fresh fruit on the table. Let everyone get creative!

So, what do you say? To brunch or not to brunch? I promise you, with these options the answer will always be a huge YES!
