A Spring-Inspired Brunch Menu to Serve up This Weekend

Lilac is one of those unmistakable spring scents, so why not incorporate it into your brunch? This tiramisu features a mix of creamy floral notes and a caffeine-free lady finger base that is guaranteed to be the star dessert of any brunch. The best part? It’s surprisingly easy to make.

Why serve regular old toast when you can elevate bread to the next level with feta, tomato and oregano? This Greek-inspired breakfast is also an impressive dish to lay out at brunch. Each bite is bright and flavourful, which is a great way to start the day.

French toast is nice, but if you want to host a standout brunch, why not try this elevated take? Thick slices of challah become even more delicious when soaked in an espresso-egg mixture and fried in a buttery pan. Add in the sweet mascarpone filling and some fresh fruit (sweet cherries are a delightful spring pick), and this brunch will be a winner any day of the week.
