Pannaukkau (Finnish or Swedish Pancake)
“I was first introduced to this yummy recipe when I started going out with my husband over 30 years ago! We love it for Sunday brunch, with sausage or bacon. It rises in the oven. When you take it out, it falls and has a custard-like consistency. So yummy!!” – Ann
Caramel Cinnamon Rolls
“I have made these for years, and everyone loves them. I made them every day for a small motel we owned. People used to call and ask if I still made those fantastic rolls.” – Kathy
Puddin Place Eggs
“This is the easiest recipe, but everyone says wow when they see it. And they’re even more impressed when they taste it! It’s certainly one of my favorites. Individually serves four of your favorite breakfast or brunchgoers and is easily multiplied. My mother-in-law taught me this one, and she is a 5-star chef in Barbados!” – Kimberly
Upside-Down Apple French Toast
“This is so delicious and has been a hit every time I’ve made it. It is easy and looks very elegant when served. Great for overnight guests. No syrup is needed for this. The brown sugar, butter, and apples provide all the wonderful flavor and of course, the creme topping doesn’t hurt either.” – Shannon
Norwegian Pancakes
“These crepe-like pancakes are a weekend tradition at our house. They were one of my favorite meals growing up. I can make these, but my husband has learned to make them and now does so every weekend. As a child, these were either sprinkled with sugar or syrup and rolled up. Then sliced and eaten. My children have discovered they like them with cream cheese in them, then rolled up and dipped in syrup.” – Sylvia
Bacon Quiche Lorraine
“This is a delicious version of quiche Lorraine.” – Jenay
Wedding Cake Waffles
“These waffles are light and airy, but they are also slightly sweet. I highly recommend pairing this with fresh whipped cream and whipped strawberry cream cheese butter. All the flavors combined are simply scrumptious.” – Debbie
Eggs Benedict
“All my friends demand this when we have a weekend get-together, so I always keep plenty of eggs and butter on hand and English Muffins in the freezer. I am a baconaholic, so I substitute the ham for bacon.” – Christine
French Toast With Maple Mascarpone
“I love … I mean really love this breakfast. It is decadent. It looks very special, but so easy to put together. It is great for guests or any occasion. It is versatile too. Use a different kind of bread or any fruit or jam that you like. Either way, it is very impressive looking and tastes every bit as good as it looks.” – Cathy
Shakshuka
“This is a super easy version that goes together really quickly but has big taste!” – Lori
Red Velvet Waffles With Cream Cheese Glaze
“These chocolate waffles are rich and moist, and the sweet cream cheese glaze and crunchy pecan topping make them a decadent and delicious meal that any mother would love!” – Nicole
Crab Quiche
“You cannot go wrong with a quiche, and this is one of my favorites. If you don’t like the veggies I put in it, choose your own.” – JM
Cherry-Vanilla Pancakes
“I usually make these for my husband and children for Valentine’s Day. But they are great anytime.” – Beverley
Baklava Baked French Toast
“A casserole baked French toast with all of the flavours of baklava, including a nut topping and a honey syrup!” – Kevin
