    Six days a week at my house, breakfast is Siggi's dairy-free yogurt with a scoop of protein powder stirred into it. A cappuccino made with oat milk, courtesy of our Keurig, rounds out my little meal. If I'm in a smoothie mood, I make either a Spinach Smoothie with Strawberries or Orange Mango Smoothie with Lime & Ginger.

    In fact, this breakfast habit is so engrained, that Paprika, our labradoodle, carefully tracks my daily breakfast before whining for her walk.

    Well, full disclosure, this is true until she thinks I'm too slow consuming my tiny feast. And that's when she yelps one sharp whine, just to make sure I understand that her patience has limits.

    Vegetarian Brunch Ideas

    Sgroppino

    Four glasses of sgroppino, with blueberries and fresh mint.

    This Italian cocktail recipe is both a dessert and cocktail. Think of Sgroppino as a Prosecco slushie with a little vodka and a lot of frozen lemon sorbet. Serve it in champagne flutes or other pretty glassware.


    Blueberry Scone Loaf

    A loaf of blueberry scone bread in a loaf pan.

    This delicious scone loaf is layered like a pull-apart bread, and filled with streusel and blueberries, and laced with a lemon icing on top for a perfect brunch dish. Or enjoy a piece with your morning cup of ginger lemon honey tea.


    Baked Chiles Rellenos Casserole with Eggs

    Chile rellenos casserole with eggs fresh from the oven in a baking dish.

    This chiles rellenos casserole recipe is a great vegetarian breakfast. Poblano peppers are stuffed with corn, black beans, sweet bell pepper, and cheese and bakes them inside an egg bake for a fabulous brunch dish. Thanks to a little baking powder mixed into the eggs, this casserole may remind you of a soufflé, but so much easier.

    Serve with this Jiffy Mexican cornbread made with cream-style corn!


    Asparagus Puff Pastry Tart

    Asparagus tart baked in puff pastry with cheese, sliced into 4 pieces.

    This asparagus puff pastry tart uses store-bought puff pastry to make it super easy. It's rolled out, spread with Boursin cheese, lined with asparagus soldiers and topped with a flurry of grated Parmesan cheese.


    German Pancake (Dutch Baby)

    Soufflé style German pancake, cut, and topped with strawberries and whipped ricotta cheese.

    A German pancake, also called a Dutch Baby, served with strawberries and sweetened ricotta cheese is a perfect brunch dish! Especially for either Easter or Mother's Day.


    Mini Strawberry Rhubarb Crisps

    Four mini strawberry rhubarb crisps with 4 spoons.

    These mini strawberry-rhubarb crisps are flavored with citrus juices and spiced with ginger and cardamom. They're topped with an oat crumble.
