Who doesn’t love a good brunch? Sweet pancakes, savoury bagels and cocktails in abundance, what a treat.
Not just a meal but a lifestyle, brunch is the optimal time to gather your favourite people and eat some fab food, washing it down with some fruity Mimosas or a Bloody Mary (or two). Whether you’re the host for many, playing chef to your family or solo-brunching, the food you eat should be memorable and delicious.
As brunch season creeps upon us, we’re here to give you our best brunch recipes to suit all tastes.

Strawberry and cream cheese French toast
French toast is already a crowd-pleaser, but this strawberry and cream cheese French toast by Paysan Breton is an even more decadent version. A thick layer of creamy cheese sandwiched between slices of sweet eggy bread and strawberries – a great way to get one of your five a day in! This recipe is perfect for a romantic brunch with your partner or a birthday bash with your family. Treat yourself with this feel-good dish.
Shallot, potato and sausage hash with a fried egg
A brunch favourite among many, this potato and sausage hash is filling and wholesome. This recipe by UK Shallots is super easy, and you can use leftover potatoes from the night before. An excellent dish for unexpected brunch guests, this hash is ready in 30 minutes and with hardly any prep. Or if you’re in late from work, it also makes a tasty and quick dinner.
Shakshuka breakfast eggs
If you’re after a healthier dish for brunch, this Shakshuka recipe is a great alternative to a heavier meal. Tom Kerridge cooks his eggs in a spicy tomato sauce, with the dish originally from North Africa. A robust meal that will keep you going a lot longer than some toast or cereal. It also looks great sitting in the middle of the table with everyone digging in for themselves.

Elvis pancakes
Elvis, the king of rock and eating what he wants, deserves to be honoured with this brunch recipe for pancakes. The low-carb version by Joe Wicks makes these Elvis pancakes a little more guilt-free with mashed banana and peanut butter. Serve with slices of crispy, streaky bacon and maple syrup for the classic American vibe. This would be Elvis’ best brunch recipe (if he were into brunching).

Harissa bean pizza
Combining two favourites, baked beans and pizza, Nadiya Hussain makes our dreams come true. This Harissa bean pizza is ideal for a sharing brunch, especially if fussy children are involved (who doesn’t love pizza?). The best part is, there’s no dough kneading needed! The base consists of naan bread, but pittas or leftover bread are good options, too. Customise the toppings to whatever you’ve got at home, or use spinach and eggs like Nadiya. Devour straight from the oven.

Whipped ricotta and fig toast
Toast is quintessential of breakfast and brunch. Whether it’s two slices on the side of a fry-up or a vehicle for smashed avo and poached eggs, toast is simple yet loved by everyone. If you can’t bear the thought of eating brunch without toast, then Sabrina Ghayour’s recipe for whipped ricotta and fig toast is a sweet and indulged version of the staple.

Roasted butternut squash waffles
There are few things better than the smell of freshly baked waffles, so why not whip some up for brunch and bask in the aroma and flavour of these roasted butternut squash waffles by Rachel Khoo. The natural sweetness of the squash lends itself to a sweet dish but also works really well as a savoury version, served with crème fraîche and caviar (if you’re really fancy). Ideal for a more sophisticated brunch affair. You’ll need a waffle maker for this one.

Marmalade breakfast martini
While this marmalade breakfast martini by chef Max Halley is not a substitute for a meal, it is undeniably deserving of a place next to your favourite brunch dish. Take a break from espresso martinis, mimosas and bellinis to give this one a go; you won’t regret it. Boozy, fresh and served with bread, it’s almost breakfast in a glass.
