Recipes for a special Mother’s Day Brunch
Ready to celebrate Mom in style?
This year, skip the crowded restaurants and treat Mom to a more intimate, warm celebration at home. Because it’s no secret—the best way to show your appreciation is by preparing a delicious meal. So put on your aprons and get ready to impress! We’ve put together a special Mother’s Day brunch menu with recipes that are as tempting as they are easy to make. It’s our way of saying thank you to all the mothers out there for everything they do.
Let’s raise a glass to all the amazing moms!
Two words, one genius idea: breakfast pizza. This recipe would be perfect for Mother’s Day brunch (or any brunch, lunch or dinner for that matter). It’s beautiful, delicious, AND easy to make. No need to cook a bunch of separate dishes—this breakfast pizza recipe brings together all the ingredients of a successful brunch (hello, eggs and bacon) on one crusty, golden dough.
The simple mention of “ham and cheese” is enough to get everyone excited. This recipe puts a nice Italian spin on the cult duo with the addition of olives, Parmesan, prosciutto cotto (cotto meaning cooked), and a nice handful of fresh herbs. These gourmet pinwheels are absolutely delicious and truly fantastic on any occasion, but in our opinion, are the perfect addition to any spring family meal.
Name a more iconic party dish than mimosa eggs … go on, we’ll wait! Practically everyone has heard of the famous devilled eggs (the American cousin to the French mimosa eggs) and most have served them at some festive occasion or another. It’s one of those dishes that everyone has their own recipe for: more or less mayo, pickles, no pickles, tuna, paprika, no paprika, etc. We’ve come up with three Mediterranean-inspired variations for you to add some sunshine to your Mother’s Day brunch.
Shrimp and smoked salmon cocktail
Our shrimp and smoked salmon cocktail is retro in the best way possible, and makes the perfect addition to any special spring occasion. This recipe lets the delicate seafood shine and is rounded off nicely with the addition of a classic salsa rosa sauce. A fresh and colourful dish that is sophisticated enough for any big celebration, but totally and utterly uncomplicated, meaning you can spend more time with your guests and less time fretting in the kitchen!
Asparagus mimosa with tonnato sauce
To celebrate this step towards warmer weather, we’re taking the iconic spring veg and pairing it with delicate quails’ eggs (chicken eggs work too!) and a rich, vibrant tonnato mayo. This recipe is quick and easy to make, but there’s a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that makes you want to put on your glad rags and use the good china. Good thing asparagus is in season right around Mother’s Day, right?
This frittata is your golden ticket to a dish that looks fancy, tastes like sunshine, and works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for a quick weeknight dinner. Packed with crisp veggies and finished with fresh herbs, it’s a bright, effortless way to bring the season to the table.
There’s no better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with a brunch that feels a little extra special. Eggs Benedict are always a showstopper—especially in this elevated version with lobster, spinach, and a classic hollandaise. Rich, refined, and undeniably indulgent.
Give this specialty the spring crunch treatment by serving all that mushroom goodness on a rustic giant crouton with a touch of lemon and tarragon. Perfect for an elevated brunch, a yummy appetizer or a quick lunch (light years away from reheated leftovers, right?) Choose whichever mushrooms you crave that day, but do try to mix and match a bit to maximize texture and flavour. You can’t go wrong with a crostone!
Spring is in the air and something about that makes us want to tuck into lighter dishes. Speaking of lighter dishes, you can’t get much lighter than an airy coffee and ricotta mousse. Its cheesy goodness and caffeine boost remind us of the beloved tiramisù, and as if that wasn’t enough, this smoother-than-smooth delight comes together in just 10 minutes!
These pancakes are so light and fluffy and the ricotta is a great vehicle for the cocoa-maple sauce. You can customize it every season by adding your favourite seasonal fruit. Guaranteed success with the kids!
Yogurt and Granola Breakfast Bowl
This breakfast bowl is full of goodies, like our super nutritious granola recipe that you’ll want to make over and over again, that keeps for at least 3 weeks in an airtight container. We’re pairing it with yogurt, berries, and a bit of hazelnut-cocoa spread to start the day off right. And why not turn it into the ultimate Mother’s Day treat by serving it right in bed?
Hazelnut Chocolate Rice Pudding
This is the best way to put rice pudding back on our table. This version is made with eggnog, but if you don’t have any, you can use whole milk just fine. Rich, creamy and oh so chocolaty, just the way we like it!
Apricot and Chocolate Crostata
Crostata is basically a shortcrust open pie generally filled with jam or chocolate. But why choose! Our version brings together the brightness of apricot jam and the richness of our famous hazelnut cacao spread to give you the very best of both worlds. The perfect no-fuss dessert for a perfect Mother’s Day brunch.
This version of one of our all-time favourite desserts is truly spectacular! The same creamy, easy, balanced treat, but with the incomparable addition of our doubly infused house espresso. You can absolutely play with spices to create different flavour profiles, but we recommend you keep the cinnamon in there to punctuate the aromas of the coffee. Fresh, elegant, perky, fragrant… the list goes on! A must-try that will soon become a favourite.
