Mother's Day Breakfast Board
Who doesn’t love a good breakfast board whether it is a holiday or just a regular Sunday brunch? We love doing breakfast boards because you can always get super creative with them and please everyone with their favorites! We typically prepare a brunch casserole every Sunday and drink some mimosas or Bloody Mary’s. However, when it is a holiday or special occasion we like to prepare a board because it is super festive and everyone loves them!
For Mother’s Day, we prepared a board that included a Gruyere Cheese and Chive Egg Soufflé then added everyone’s favorite sides! My brother loves breakfast sausage and hash browns so we included those two sides for him! My dad loves a good egg casserole with a bagel or toast on the side so the gruyere and chives egg bake was perfect for him, and we included bagels and franchaise bread! We used a chives cream cheese on the bagels which was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the eggs! My mom and I love to have our eggs and mimosas/Bloody Mary’s! Since it was her special day, we popped some bubbly and got out some fresh squeezed orange juice to enjoy with our egg dish! We also added a mix of berries to the board and bacon because who doesn’t love good bacon?!
Mother’s Day in Jersey was pretty gloomy, but our brunch definitely lightened the mood! After brunch my mom and I went on a shopping trip to Anthropologie, and later we made a Sangria for happy hour and had a delicious dinner with one of my mom’s favorite desserts, Strawberry Shortcake!
