Strawberry & Orange Salad with Citrus Syrup & Fresh Mint

Fresh, sweet, tangy, and just a dash minty, this fruit salad pairs perfectly with a traditional breakfast of bacon, eggs, and potatoes.

This salad comes together quickly, though the longer you let it sit and marinate in the fridge, the better.

If you don't want the added sugar, simply omit it or swap it out for a squeeze of honey.

Classic Eggs Benedict

Crunchy English muffin, perfectly soft poached egg, and a nice salty piece of Canadian bacon.

If mom isn't a fan of Canadian bacon, you can swap it out for regular bacon or spinach and tomatoes.

If you're the type of person who likes your breakfast to come together quickly, Ali of Gimme Some Oven provides a list of pro tips to make the process easy squeezy.

Shakshuka

Simply put, shakshuka is a dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, often served with pitas for dipping.

Green chiles and onions are cooked up in a skillet before being combined with a few simple spices and garlic. Tomatoes and their liquid are then added and thickened before egg yolks are dropped in and poached to perfection.

Finish your shakshuka off with a sprinkle of feta and fresh parsley.
