2. Blueberry Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Pancakes are an essential staple to an all-American breakfast. But this new and modern take on traditional pancakes will surely satisfy your brunch cravings. While they aren’t quite Jack Johnson’s famous banana pancakes, they are a healthier version that pack a ton of flavor.

3. Very Vanilla French Toast

A list of brunch recipes wouldn’t be complete without a french toast option! This very vanilla french toast dish is the perfect way to wake up your taste buds on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

4. Dungeness Eggs Benedict with Lemon Hollandaise

If you like traditional eggs benedict recipes, you’re going to love this coastal twist, especially all you seafood lovers. By adding succulent Dungeness crab meat to the top of your freshly toasted English muffin and the perfectly poached egg, you instantly create an unforgettable brunch dish. Also, the lemon dill hollandaise sauce adds the perfect tangy kick.

Looking for brunch recipes of the southern variety? Then you must include this traditional breakfast…with a indulgent modern twist! Gooey melted sharp cheddar cheese, bacon and of course shrimp will leave you full and satisfied.

One of my personal favorite breakfast dished, huevos rancheros, is the perfect way to satisfy your Mexican food cravings in the morning. The simple, yet very flavorful dish is the perfect starter for a beginner brunch chef, and a great one to master for family and friends to try. If you’re looking for a little extra kick, try adding spicy chorizo or adding some jalapeños to top the dish off.

To accompany any one of these great brunch recipes, blend up a frozen peach Bellini with a fresh peach on the side. This refreshing drink will be great on a hot summer morning, especially since peaches are in season.

10. The Ultimate Bloody Mary

It has been called “the world’s most complex cocktail,” but I’d call it “the world’s most delicious cocktail!” Often times a meal in itself, bloody marys are essential to any brunch. Combining many savory ingredients such as Tabasco sauce, Horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and smoked paprika are sure to provide a “kick” to your morning taste buds (and help fend off any lingering hangover.
