Homemakers.com 10 best breakfast and brunch recipes

1. Mexican Bagel Egg Bakes
This substantial breakfast is perfect for when you want a hot breakfast but don't have a lot of time to spend cooking or cleaning up.

2. Creamy Cheese Blintzes with Berry Sauce
These cheese blintzes are like little packages of crêpe-wrapped cheesecake, right down to the saucy fruit poured over top.

3. Healthy Birchermüesli
The raw oat-and-fruit porridge known as Birchermüesli was invented by Dr. Bircher-Benner, a Swiss doctor who was a pioneer in what we would now call "wellness" medicine, and an advocate of whole foods, exercise, swimming and sunbathing. Now Birchermüesli and its many derivatives are regular breakfast and dessert features at most Swiss tables and around the world.

4. Apple-Cheese Muffins
The winning flavours of apples and cheese and a not-too-sweet batter make this muffin a good choice for breakfast, a snack or even dessert.

5. Poached Eggs on Ham with Pea Shoots and Butter Sauce
This recipe requires a few items to be put together, so you may want someone to help you plate all the fresh ingredients in this dish.

6. Flaxseed and Blueberry Pancakes
Try these fluffy, whole grain, flaxseed pancakes with pure maple syrup on the weekend for breakfast or on a hectic weeknight for dinner. They are quick and easy to make and each serving delivers 1 tbsp (15 mL) of flaxseed.

7. Crab Cakes Benedict with Lemon Basil Hollandaise Sauce
Served over crispy crab cakes instead of English muffins, these have less than half the fat of traditional eggs Benedict.

8. Raspberry smoothie
This quick, nutritious blender drink is perfect for mornings when you're struggling to make it out the door on time.

9. Rye Bran Muffins
As a quick and healthy breakfast or as a snack, these rye muffins make delicious use of this ancient grain that has been essential to the diet of northern Europeans for millennia.

10. Mini-Mess Microwave Scrambled Eggs
Combine the ingredients for this protein-packed breakfast the night before. That way you'll just have to give it a stir in the morning before popping it in the microwave.
