Sunday Brunch has become a tradition in my home. My family and some close friends gather mid morning at my house, we talk and laugh and enjoy ourselves while sharing a relaxed and delicious meal.

But what is brunch? For me, it’s a bit of a late breakfast, but a bit more substantial. I often serve a variety of dishes depending of the time of year or my mood. Today I present a selection of my favourite breakfast and brunch recipes that you should absolutely try. They might just become your new weekend tradition!

Oven Baked Mini Omelettes

Light, fluffy round omelettes filled with your favourite fixings. All baked in a standard muffin pan in the oven. Honestly, this is the simplest and quickest way to make omelettes in bulk without spending all day slaving in front of the stove. Plus, since you’re making individual omelettes, it’s a snap to customise each one for your guests. This recipe is a lifesaver when feeding a crowd!

It’s actually surprisingly simple, and baking this gorgeous focaccia bread topped with bacon, egg, cheese and juicy cherry tomatoes is guaranteed to make your weekend brunch memorable. The aroma of this freshly baked bread alone will make your guests beg you for the recipe!

Baked Ham and Egg Rolls

Similar in concept to the above focaccia recipe, these Baked Ham and Egg Rolls are simple and quick to prepare. Perfect if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands. Simply hollow out some crusty bread rolls, add your fillings and bake until the egg is set and the roll is toasted. Served warm from the oven with a drink and some fruit salad, this dish is simple, tasty and perfect for when last minute guests drop by for a morning bite.

Chia Seed Mixed Berry Puddings

It’s like having dessert for breakfast, but without the guilt. Simply whip up these fruity little babies the night before and leave them to chill overnight. The result is a rich and creamy fruit pudding that can be eaten as a breakfast or brunch dish, but can also be served as a dessert. Use whatever fruits you like. Fresh seasonal berries work best, but try passionfruit, pineapple and mango for a more tropical twist!

Easy Blueberry Pastries

Making pastries first thing in the morning sounds like a heck of a lot of work. But this recipe has an amazing shortcut that makes baking these gorgeous Blueberry Pastries a breeze. A quick blueberry compote is whipped up and added to ready rolled, frozen puff pastry. Baked and dusted lightly with powdered sugar, your guests will think you’ve been baking for hours. It’s up to you if you tell them truth or not!
