Read along for a few great recipes and gift ideas that make celebrating mom fun, easy and delicious.
Best French Toast Recipe
If you really want to show off for mom, throw together Bon Appetit’s Best French Toast Recipe by Dawn Perry (you won’t be disappointed). This french toast calls for thick-sliced challah or brioche soaked extra long in a sweet and creamy mixture before cooking to pack in all the flavors. This French toast is the bread pudding of breakfast foods and the most indulgent meal for mother’s day morning done right. Once you’re done, hold off on toppings and set aside for brunch charcuterie prep.
Best Oven-Cooked Bacon
The next step in your brunch charcuterie board is an absolute necessity- BACON! We’ve found the best recipe for perfect bacon from Kitchn.com that you won’t be able to mess up. This oven-baked bacon produces the ultimate smoky, salty, melt-in-your-mouth flavor, so make sure you make extra. What makes this bacon even better is its easy preparation. All you need to do is lay the bacon out on a baking sheet, throw it in the oven and set a timer - what could be better! Once your bacon is done, pull it out and set it aside for the brunch board.
Fresh Fruit Platter
Next is a delicious fruit plate for a refreshing side to go with the rest of your food and add a pop of color to your brunch charcuterie board. We love to put tons of fresh berries on our boards because of how delicious they taste with french toast, but you can switch it up to include mom’s favorite fruits.
Arranging the Brunch Board
Now, it’s finally time to create the perfect brunch board for mom and the family. We’ve used the Tuckahoe East Asian Board below, but we have endless options for other cutting boards, such as the Italian Olive Wood Board. First, lay around eight to ten slices of french toast diagonally across the board. Second, place bacon on open corners on opposite sides of the board (as seen above). Next, fill in open spaces with fresh berries (or mom’s favorite fruit), sliced or whole. Finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
Pink Lady Mimosas
Now that you’re done with your beautiful Brunch board, you can’t forget a refreshing brunch cocktail! Try out Pink Lady Mimosas for a pretty pink, fizzy drink. Serve these in personalized champagne flutes made just for mom from Carved Solutions! The combination of sweet and tangy pink lady apple juice and champagne creates a deliciously crisp flavor combination.
