Tips for Brunch Success
Simplicity called and we have answered. Introducing tips to a successful brunch. Wanna hear it? Here it go….
- Toast is the fun part! There’s so many different ways to toast it up hahaha.
- Slice any bread of choice (or go-to is sourdough) about 0.25-0.5 inches thick and toast until golden brown.
- Think that bread is for losers? Well try using Ezekiel Bread, it’s a good source of protein, it’s packed with minerals, and it doesn’t use any flour! How awesome is that?
- Seasoning is your friend! Blame food is never an option, so be sure to add the basics. AKA salt and pepper.
- Add in fresh herbs! Freshly chopped herbs not only add a touch of color, but can really enhance the flavor of your brunch toast.
- Most important tip was saved for last! Be sure to HAVE FUN!!! Fun = good food.
Toast 4 Ways
On to this best part! Actually making the food and eating it! Below you’ll find a little deets on each toast flavor! Some of the names are more original than others…hahaha
Smoked Salmon
This one is a classic spin on the famous lox bagel. Just remove the bagel. Instead of using normal cream cheese, we used Philadelphia Chive & Onion cream cheese. It is packed with tasty flavor and simply elevates this toast. To shake things up mashed avocado was spread across the toast at well. Along with thinly sliced red onions, capers, dill, and of course smoked salmon.
ABE Brunch Toast
Next beauty is our ABE brunch toast aka avocado, bacon, and a fried egg. Some restaurants would called this a trifecta! Because it features eggs, bread, and meat. Added pop up color for this bad boy was a mashed avocado!
Tomato Burrata & Herbs
Now let’s talk about this cheesy goodness. The melted burrata is a total MUST! Second roasting the cherry tomatoes makes this toast special a game changer. Lastly, topping it off with fresh herbs and a balsamic glaze is oh so necessary!
Basic Sally Toast
Last, but not least we have the basic Sally brunch toast. It’s simple and hella tasty using only 6 ingredients: bread, EVOO, tomatoes, herbs, salt, and pepper!
