I have been asked to contribute my brunch ideas. This request has given me a lot of pause for thought. To me, a good brunch starts with breakfast and ends with tea! It is all the in between stuff I have to think about, as I have only ever eaten brunch out, and never tried to serve this meal at home. I think I would have to start with some granola and yoghurt, served with a platter of fresh fruit.
After that it would have to be a hot dish of poached eggs served with smoked salmon, English muffins and a Hollandaise sauce.
I would serve all of this with freshly ground coffee and a few bottles of Champagne and to end this meal I think scones would be in order.
There would also have to be freshly baked bread for people to nibble on as well as a generous platter with a selection of my favourite cheeses and cured meats on it.
What would you serve for brunch if you were the hostess? And for more inspiration, take a look here.
What I blogged:
- one year ago – Fig Jam
- two years ago – Lemon Garlic Linguine With Prawns
- three years ago – Friday’s Food Quiz
- four years ago – Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Sounds like an excellent brunch menu–
Thank you Usha 🙂
I’d love to come over to your place for brunch Tandy! You serve a bit of everything to suit everyone 😀
Wish I could have you over Lorraine 🙂
I would skip everything just to have a double portion of Eggs Benedict with a side of bubbly – perfect.
Have a super day Tandy.

That sounds like a grand idea Mandy 🙂
Some of my favourite foods right there! Have to admit that I made Eggs Benedict for brunch last year for some friends and it took forever! Probably because I made potato hash instead of buying ready-made muffins. It was good – just a faff. Next time I think I’ll stick to pancakes, flapjacks, croissants, muffins, etc. Lovely photos! 🙂
Pancakes are always a winner! I should have added waffles to this list 🙂
I would love one of each of everything you are serving. However, those sun dried tomato breads look lovely and I would want to start with one of those with a bit of smoked salmon and fresh veggies.
Fresh veggies are such a great idea BAM, thank you!
Your brunch ideas look mighty good! Good that didn’t forget Champagne! My ideas… depending on the season…and on a sweet side.

The champagne is the most important!
Yarm… I love brunch, it’s the perfect time of day to eat, and you don’t have to justify any of it. I reckon I’d cook everything you did, but with a truck load of scones, I’m crazy for them lately. 🙂
I am also craving scones right now Anna 🙂
wow that is one epic brunch. Where’s the invite ?!
Wish I could invite you for brunch 🙂
Ooh count me in! And champagne too…just perfect 🙂
Would love to have you over Tanya 🙂
Oh my goodness Tandy, I’m coming to your house for brunch, sounds wonderful!
Thank you Cheri 🙂
I love brunch on the weekends! 🙂
I should make an effort to do this more often Sandy 🙂
Honestly, Tandy, I couldn’t think of any answer to your question when I started looking at your photos. All I knew (or heard) was my tummy rumbling. Can I be your guest instead? LOL!

Oh my gosh, scones please! I have not had a brunch in way too long 😀
Your bread looks very inviting too!
Cheers

Thank you for the compliment Uru 🙂
Mmm, I would tuck right into that platter of cheeses and meats. Delish. 🙂
That is always my favourite Krista 🙂
What a lovely brunch that would be! 🙂 I love it all especially your lovely appetizing Olive And Sun Dried Tomato Sourdough Bread,…ooh yes! I would brunch with you, any day, for sure! 🙂 xxx
I am so glad you like my choices Sophie 🙂
OMW I would pay good money for this! The granola alone I know for a fact is worth it!
I could make you some!
