Homemakers.com top 10 brunch recipes:
1. Pork and Chicken Liver Pâté with Late Harvest Wine Jelly
Tiny cubes of dessert-wine jelly lend elegance and a sweet balance to a tasty liver pâté with salt pork.2. Goat Cheese and Radish Spread
Children's taste buds are often not mature enough to appreciate liver, and even some adults don't like its fine flavour, so it's best to offer another appetizer, such as this simple goat cheese spread. Spread on toasted baguette slices and garnish with sprigs of fresh chervil or parsley.
3. Lemony Ricotta Pancakes
These light and fluffy pancakes are great with fruit but even better with golden corn syrup and butter.
4. Saffron Butter Buns
These fabulous deep yellow, rich and perfectly textured butter buns rise and are baked together in the pans, which makes for an attractive presentation. Pull them apart at the table.
5. Poached Eggs on Ham with Pea Shoots and Butter Sauce
The colours of this dish really say spring! As there are a few parts to be put together, get one of your guests to help you plate, so everything is hot when served.
6. Apple and Pecan Coffee Cake
For this sweet Jewish-style coffee cake, make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature. Serve with coffee or tea.
7. Lemon Rhubarb Tart
If you like rhubarb, you probably like other tart fruits, such as lemons. Not surprisingly, they go very well together, especially when balanced by the sweeter flavour of orange, as in this elegant tart.
8. Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Crêpes
Most of the steps can be done ahead of time with this light brunch dish. Just reheat, assemble and broil before serving.
9. 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. Don't let the long instructions daunt you - these are surprisingly easy to make and well worth the extra effort. If you like, add some finely grated orange rind to the cream cheese mixture.
10. Flaxseed and Blueberry Pancakes
Try these fluffy, whole grain, flaxseed pancakes with pure maple syrup. They are quick and easy to make and each serving delivers 1 tbsp (15 mL) of flaxseed.
