The Lucien Gaudin--A Vintage Cocktail
A vintage cocktail recipe has been unearthed. The Lucien Gaudin balances out the dry herbal notes of gin and dry vermouth with some Cointreau and Campari.
The Rosita
This Rosita Margarita recipe gives tequila the Negroni treatment, which results in something interesting, elegant, and a fun alternative to a margarita.
The Final Countdown
A Last Word cocktail, but with Champagne! Win-win.
The Bitter Frenchman
This is a simple variation on a Bitter French Cocktail 75, but it tastes a world different. The Campari in this recipe gives it an extra sophisticated edge.
Negroni Jello!
I recently did the cocktails for a holiday party and made classic cocktails that turned into Jello in vintage Jello molds. Try this Negroni Jello Shots recipe.
Bikini Atol A Pineapple Syrup Cocktail
The bikini atol cocktail is a rum-based variation on an Old Fashioned recipe. I've been making a roasted pineapple syrup for tropical-leaning aquavit and gin.
Strawberry-Lemon Radler
The radler—a refreshing combination of beer and lemonade (or citrus soda) is a great summertime drink, and I believe it is a perfectly acceptable breakfast/brunch drink.
Fancy Egg in the Hole
If you can fry your grilled cheese in mayo, why can't you fry your egg in the hole in mayo, I ask you? And if you are using mayo, why can't you add flavors to that mayo? You can! And thus was born the fancy egg in the hole. My favorite versions are fried in Sriracha mayo or smoked paprika aioli, but you could take this all sorts of directions.
Rhubarb Bellini
How could fresh rhubarb syrup topped with dry sparkling wine not be the perfect spring and summer drink?! Especially for brunch. Or a picnic. Or just because.
Salt and Vinegar Hash Browns
I heard salt and vinegar and applied it to breakfast -- and hash browns seemed like a good option. I'm not a huge hash browns fan, but I do like them if they're very crispy on the outside, cooked but not mushy on the inside, and very thick so you get good textural contrast. Adding salt and vinegar really bumps up the flavor a notch.
Linie Aquavit Cocktails - Sunrise Over The Fjord
My new favorite brunch or anytime cocktail. This is a Linie aquavit cocktail recipe that's a spin on a grapefruit mimosa, with a twist of a French 75 thrown in.
Yogurt & Berry Tart With a Pecan Crust
I often will eat fruits and nuts plus yogurt for breakfast. This is basically a fancified version of that very simple breakfast. And look how pretty it is! Layering the ingredients into a tart not only makes it feel more fancy, it causes the flavors to hit in you in a different way. This tart has beautiful flavors of toasty nuts, tangy yogurt, and red ripe berries (raspberries are my favorite, but you could use all sorts of fruit! You could also top the crust with something else entirely -- I have visions of chocolate ganache on a pecan crust). I was surprised by just how good I thought it was -- it was one of those ideas that actually works out just how you'd hoped in the execution! It's easily healthy enough to eat for breakfast -- it lasts for several days in the fridge and you can just cut yourself a slice in the morning -- but it is nice enough for a light, summery dessert. The pecan crust is adapted slightly from the blog Passports and Pancakes. It might not seem like it will bake up as a functional crust, but it really does!
Tomato and Cream Cheese Turnovers
These are like a sesame bagel with cream Cheese and Tomato, but on steroids. These Turnovers are quite easy and fast to make and perfect for last-minute brunch.
Sriracha Maple Bacon
This Maple Sriracha Bacon recipe is an easy way to make yourself very popular at brunch. It only requires 3 ingredients & an oven to make this delicious treat.
Tartines with Ricotta and a Quick Apricot Compote
Tart apricots become soft, stewy, and sweet in a compote that is a perfect foil for creamy ricotta. These tartines are simple but elegant, and make breakfast feel decadent.
Fried plantains
Fried plantains are typically eaten as a side dish for supper in many Latin American countries, but I think they make for a fantastic breakfast!
Gingery Beet Smoothie
I have never been terribly into vegetables in smoothies (or that into smoothies, actually), but a friend and co-worker brought a beet smoothie into a meeting the other day, and I was so intrigued I got some instructions from her and then made my own version to try. It's different, but I like it!
Avocado, Lox, and Pickled Onion on Crispbread
Take a classic bagel with cream cheese, lox, capers, red onions and just tweak everything a little bit and you get this. Except the lox. Don't tweak the lox. Lox is perfect just the way it is.
Matzo Brei with Bacon and Maple Syrup
This recipe was sent to me by food52'er linzeralla. I adapted it very slightly. Sure, it's not Kosher, but it's really good!
Sweet Omelet with Berries
I learned about sweet omelet recipes from a friend of mine who was living in Finland and told me about eating omelets with jam. It's an easy, yummy breakfast.
Tahini Toast
It's like peanut butter toast...but tahini-er! This is one of my favorite super speedy breakfast or snack recipes. I got the idea from Jess, of Sweet Amandine.
Super Simple Single Serving Breakfast Quesadilla
What could be easier than just sticking some cheese and the tortilla atop the egg and frying it all together? Easy-peasy Single Serving Breakfast recipe.
Avocado Citrus Breakfast Shake (aka the "I wish I were in San Diego" smoothie)
I was in the frigid Minnesota winter and missing California, so I blended together avocado, orange, and coconut for a hit of sunshine in this smoothie recipe.
Grapefruit with Vanilla-Honey and Coconut
This is like your classic morning grapefruit sprinkled with sugar, but using a warm honey-vanilla sauce instead of sugar makes it oh so much better, and the coconut adds a tropical note while making it a little more filling. This is a perfect light pick me up breakfast in the dead of winter.
