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. I like to serve this with a side of fruit as it’s a super-rich meal and the fruit tends to help round it out.” – Christine
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!” – Ann
Texas Two-Step Breakfast Casserole
“I made some modifications to a typical Southwest breakfast casserole recipe. I love this recipe because I can make it up the night before and bake it in the morning. Egg casseroles can often be a bit dry, but this one comes out moist and delicious every time!” – Michelle
Failproof Fluffy Butter Biscuits
“After attempts to make fluffy but buttery tasting biscuits, I think I finally came up with a terrific recipe.” – Robin
Everyone’s Favorite Sticky Buns
“These delicious, sweet sticky buns go well with breakfast or brunch. They are very easy to prepare and so popular! I have also sent a pan of these to bake sales and they disappear quickly.” – Kendra
Sunday Easy Breakfast Casserole
“Easy, fast, filling, and yummy, the kids love it and during Sunday football season. It’s a winner!” – Andrea
Old Fashioned Sausage Gravy
“Old Fashioned Sausage Gravy is a Southern staple usually served with a buttermilk biscuit. This creamy gravy can be whipped up in minutes.” – Debbie
Breakfast Lasagna
“Breakfast Lasagna is a wonderful blend of flavors! No one will ever leave the table hungry! Make it the night before (just don’t bake it) and refrigerate. All you have to do is bake it in the morning.” – Sylvia
Southern Hash Brown Casserole
“Made these for a brunch, everyone loved them. There were no leftovers.” – Rainie
Almond Crumb Scones With Honey Butter
“Yummy, sweet, a little crunchy, a lot nutty, and perfect with the accompanying honey butter!” – Jessica
Old-Fashioned Yeast Doughnuts
“I have made this recipe (which was passed down from my mother to me in 1950) for my children and my grandchildren. It is really what got me interested in cooking, to begin with. And as they say, the rest is history.” – Skip
Baked Custard Pancake
“This pancake is so good. In fact, it is more like a custard than cake and a wonderful breakfast delight. It puffs up nicely in the oven and then as you let it set, it absorbs all of the butter, sugar, and cinnamon that is on the bottom layer. You can sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top, or even a drizzle of honey or syrup but, I find this wonderfully sweet (although not overpowering) as it is and really does not need it.” – Barbara
Cream Scones
“I’ve seen several recipes for biscuits made with cream instead of shortening and milk and was curious how these would turn out. So I experimented with cream and some scones and came up with this. They are very fluffy and light – and simple to do.” – Susan
Homemade Breakfast Sausage
“Ok, my family loves sausage. I used to end up having to buy about 2-3 packs of the bulk sausage in order for them to have enough for a meal. So I figured that I could make it better and a larger quantity for a cheaper price. Oh boy, was I right!” – Karen
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.” – Cathy
Big Fluffy Waffles
“Not sure where I found these but I adjusted to my liking. I always make a double batch and then I freeze what is left over. A double batch will make 8 fluffy waffles.” – Jamie
Apple and Sausage French Toast Casserole with Cinnamon Syrup
“When my family has reunions, we love making breakfast the night before so there is less cleanup to do in the morning. Then the first person up starts the coffee and puts the breakfast casserole in the oven. The sweet smell of French toast and sausage gets everybody up every time!” – Jackie
Crabby Patty Brunch Bake
“If you wake up crabby in the morning, you won’t be for long… this goodie will happy-fy you.” – Tammy
Caramelized Banana Cheesecake Stuffed Coconut French Toast
“Golden brown, coconut crusted French toast, stuffed with caramelized banana cheesecake and smothered in coconut syrup!” – Kevin
Cheesecake Pancakes With Berry-Lemon Syrup
“Wow, these are fancy pancakes. Thick and fluffy, they’re slightly sweet and mimic the flavors of cheesecake.” – Kitchen Crew
