1 Soaked super muesli
Soak the ingredients for Aaron Brunet’s muesli in coconut water overnight. In the morning, add fresh fruit for a healthy start to the day…
2 Apple and rhubarb crumble tart
Then again … for a decadent start to the day, make Angela Casley’s apple and rhubarb crumble tart and do like she did: help yourself to a slice with coffee for brunch in the morning.
3 Scone-based mini pizzas
Get the kids into the kitchen and top scone bases (which they have already made) with cooked bacon strips and an egg and then bake to serve.
4 Wholemeal buttermilk pancakes
Pancakes can be made the day ahead and reheated at 180C in the oven or warm them, covered, in the microwave. Alternatively, freeze and then reheat. Try these wholemeal buttermilk beauties.
5 Spiced baked eggs
Got a horde to feed? A big tray of baked eggs can go into the oven and straight on the table. You can even make the base mixture ahead. Just ensure you heat it before adding the eggs to help them cook.
6 Leek and potato rosti
Make these rosti in advance and keep them in the fridge (or even freeze them), ready to warm and crisp up in the oven for a quick and delicious brunch.
7 Fancy French toast
The bread rounds in Jan Bilton’s French toast are soaked in cream and egg overnight and fried in the morning. The tamarillos can be heated through while you grill the bacon (which you know you’re going to have to have).
8 Quick homemade baked beans
Made the day before, Kathy Paterson’s baked beans are ready to heat in the morning.
9 Apple, potato and black pudding tart
Make a savoury tart beforehand (black pudding makes this one special), reheat and serve.
