    A Mother's Day Vegetarian Brunch

    May 10, 2018 14 Comments

    Mother's Day vegetarian brunch dishes, ranging from eggs and a popular asparagus side dish, to pancakes, smoothies, and scones.

    Brunch is easy to make vegetarian, what with all the egg, smoothie, pancake, waffle, and bread options. Here are ten of my most popular brunch dishes I've posted over the years - just in case you missed them. And just in time for Mother's Day. A very Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there (including moms of dogs, cats, and other 4-legged members of your family).

    ORANGE – MANGO SMOOTHIE WITH LIME & GINGER

    First up, start brunch with a smoothie shooter. Here's one with oranges, mango, ginger and lime that's super-easy to make if you have frozen mango pieces!  Get it here.

    STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK SCONES

    If you and your mom like scones, make these tender strawberry buttermilk scones with lemon zest and ginger. Get the recipe here.

    MY BEST BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

    Or make some coffee cake. This one is so fluffy and light. Get the recipe here.

    ASPARAGUS GRIBICHE

    Gribiche is a French creation.  The egg yolk is mashed into a paste, and whisked with olive oil, vinegar and mustard, then briny flavors are added with capers and cornichon pickles. This recipe spreads the 'gribiched' eggs over asparagus for a great side dish. Get the recipe here.

    LIGHT ASPARAGUS-GRUYERE QUICHE WITH HASH-BROWN CRUST

    The best quiche, IMHO, is asparagus quiche. And I personally love ones with a hash browns crust, but feel free to make this crustless or with a traditional crust. Get the recipe here.

    HERBED GOAT CHEESE SOUFFLÉS

    Cheese soufflés are more forgiving than, say, chocolate ones. There's a lot of support from the eggs when the soufflés begin to collapse, and still look beautiful. Get the recipe here.

    DUTCH BABY WITH STRAWBERRIES

    Dutch baby (German) pancakes are so full of drama, and so easy to make. I love to watch them through the oven door as they lift into a bowl. Get the recipe here.

    BLACKBERRY CORNBREAD PANCAKES

    My favorite pancakes have cornflour in the mix. This works particularly well with blackberries, blueberries or raspberries. Get the recipe here.

    STRAWBERRY BLUEBERRY HIBISCUS CRUMBLE

    You can't have brunch without dessert. Hibiscus is perfect combination with strawberries and blueberries, and adds a great flavor to this easy crisp. Get the recipe here.

      Too bad I saw this late but this is wonderful. The food combination is great and we would love to try this even if its past Mother's Day. Thank you for sharing. We are so excited to have some Hibiscus Crumble.
