The most decadent and delicious brunch recipes

By Stylist Team

11 years ago

The idea of brunch evokes memories of plates overflowing with food; tables crowded with familiar faces chatting and laughing; mimosas feeling seemingly bottomless and bellies becoming full, round and content.

In our opinion, the sacred hours between 10am and 2pm are one of the best times to have a big meal. Whether it's a large stack of pancakes or a runny eggs benedict, there's something about brunch food that brings people together and sets you up for the rest of the day. 

In spirit of this, we've scoured the internet for the most indulgent brunch dishes which you can make for small or large gatherings. 

For all you sweet-toothed readers out there, we present cherry french toast with vanilla cream and dark chocolate waffles. For those who prefer savoury, we've found a delicious breakfast pizza and baked salmon and eggs in crusty rolls. And, for good measure, we've rounded off with a handful of delicious cocktail recipes.

Cherry french toast with vanilla cream

Upgrade your classic French toast with this recipe that uses cherry-infused bread and a generous helping of rich cherry sauce. Since most of the components can be made in advance (recommeded maximum two days ahead) this delicious treat comes together in just 10-15 minutes.

Rome's Eggs Benedict

Mediterranean foods is the very definition of la dolce vita, conjuring up images of hazy summer days, lovable laughing relatives and general feelings of warmth and happiness. And apparently, it's one of the most healthy and nourishing diets out there. Which is all the more reason to give this Mediterranean egg sandwich a go. It rests on ciabatta bread alongside pesto, Roma tomatoes and prosciutto. Finish with a dusting of parmesan cheese to make it classically Italian.

Dark chocolate waffles

Chocolate devotees will relish in this rich but not sickly sweet dish. The use of buttermilk brings a slight tang to the batter and the use of oilve oil offers a fruity richness. Drizzle with melted butter and syrup or strawberries and whipped cream.
