While you could make toaster pastries at home, they’re generally better from a box. Who hasn’t grabbed a Kellogg’s Pop-Tart or Pillsbury Toaster Strudel in the morning? These thin rectangular confections come with many different icings and can have all sorts of fillings, such as chocolate, strawberry or cinnamon. You could even fill one with pumpkin. Generally designed to be popped in a toaster or heated in the oven, they can also be eaten cold.
Whole oat porridge gets a savory spin with creative flavor combinations like butternut squash and ginger, or miso and avocado. A big green salad is always a welcome addition to a brunch table, and this one has it all: crisp spring radishes, crunchy roasted chickpeas, creamy avocado, toasty seeds, and dried cranberries for a little sweetness. A fresh carrot ginger dressing is the cherry on top. The best brunch recipes walk the line between sweet and savory, and this strawberry salad does just that. Sweet berries pair perfectly with creamy avocado & mozzarella, tart tomatoes, nutty pecans, and fresh basil, while a balsamic drizzle adds the tang that ties it all together. 42.
