Apple Maple French Toast Bake
Think french toast, but without having to stand over the stove while you pan-fry every single piece of egg-soaked bread.
Instead, in this bake, all you do is prep the ingredients, toss everything up, pop it in a casserole dish, and then the oven.
This hearty breakfast idea is a crowd-pleaser and only takes 45 minutes to bake.
Strawberry Breakfast Cake
Cake for breakfast is absolutely a thing, and this recipe from Feasting at Home proves it.
A simple cake batter is topped with fresh strawberries and baked in a cast-iron skillet.
Top the cake off with a dusting of powdered sugar, and an extra dollop of strawberry preserves if she likes it extra sweet.

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.
Eggs Benny is a classic brunch staple for a reason: it checks all the boxes of what you'd want in a savory brunch dish.
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.

Crepes
Light, buttery, crispy on the edges, and just slightly sweet, crepes are an easy, yet elegant brunch item that can be customized to mom's heart's desire.
Go sweet with a homemade strawberry sauce, whip cream, and Nutella, or choose the savory route with pesto and sauteed veggies.
No matter what you choose as the filling, the crepe itself is made up of simply butter, flour, sugar, salt, milk, and eggs.

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.

Hearty Breakfast Skillet
Made up of hash browns, eggs, cheese, spices, green onion, and salsa, this hearty breakfast skillet only requires one pan and is both vegetarian and gluten-free.

The whole dish is finished off under the broiler and topped with salsa, green onions, and cilantro.
As with the aforementioned burritos, if you want to add a little extra protein, consider tossing in some of our housemade breakfast sausage or plant-based sausage available in our freezer section!
