I thought you might need some eye candy on this Monday. Feast on this! I went to a brunch hosted by some fun ladies and I have to say, I was totally impressed. Not that I expected anything less from these gals who host some pretty rockin’ parties, but this was one for the lesson books. I think everyone can take some brunch pointers from them. It was so convenient that they had a brunch. At a time of year where there are get-togethers and cocktail parties all the time the brunch was really refreshing and fit into my schedule perfectly. Now, onto the lesson!
Rule 1: Choose quality products.
They had some high quality bread by the toaster rather than the expected bagels.
The sky is the limit for the hot chocolate bar and they had all the best additions
This strata had gruyere, mushrooms, and spinach. Wonderful choice of interesting ingredients!
Rule 2: Know your strengths/Use what you have.
If you make fantastic quiches all the time, why not serve ’em? This one is tomato, basil, goat cheese and is delectable!
One of these ladies bakes regularly whipped up bakery-quality muffins and frosted them.
Call in an expert to make their specialty dish. If you’ve ever had Mrs. P’s coffee cake you’d know what I was talkin’ about.
Rule 3: Concentrate on a few special (yet do-able) distinctive touches.
Of course there was a butter snowflake
Their resident baker has the best cake decorations…especially for gingerbread muffins
They served a pretty memorable jam selection
Rule 4: Keep ’em happy with some variety
What a fun treat for a non-breakfast person? Also a beverage option for anyone not wanting to spike their cocoa/coffee.
I missed photos of the bacon, tator tots, and ham and egg in a crockpot. See what I told ya about their variety!?!
P.S. I brought some ebilskiver with candycane centers!
1. hot choco bar = awesome
2. gingerbread sprinkles, so cute!
3. that banana jam sounds soooooo good!
