Gingerbread or Eggnog Pancakes
Pancakes are a brunch classic, but adding seasonal flavors can give them a festive flair. Try gingerbread pancakes by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to your batter, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed gingerbread cookies. Alternatively, swap in eggnog for your milk to make a creamy, spiced pancake that captures the essence of holiday drinks. The result? A warm, comforting start to your holiday meal.
Pro Tip: The Market has all of your baking essentials like flour, eggs, and spices, plus seasonal treats like gingerbread cookies and eggnog to make your pancakes extra special!
Maple Sausage Gravy with Herb Biscuits
Biscuits and gravy are a hearty brunch favorite, and this holiday season, we’re adding a festive twist! Start with homemade herb-infused biscuits, adding fresh rosemary or thyme to the dough for a savory kick. Then, make a rich, creamy sausage gravy with a touch of maple syrup for a subtle sweetness that complements the savory flavors of the sausage. The balance of herbed biscuits and sweet-savory gravy is the perfect indulgence for a holiday morning.
Pro Tip: Visit The Market’s butcher counter for high-quality sausage, and grab fresh herbs and flour for your biscuits! Need tips on how to get the most out of your local butcher at The Market? Visit our blog, Tricks to Make the Most of Your Butcher’s Expertise.
Roasted Vegetable & Brie Frittata
A frittata is a great holiday brunch option because it’s easy to make, can be served warm or at room temperature, and is versatile enough to suit everyone’s tastes. Add a holiday twist by loading your frittata with roasted root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, along with a rich, melty brie cheese. The creamy brie adds a luxurious texture that pairs perfectly with the hearty vegetables. Top it off with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a dash of nutmeg to make this frittata feel like a festive centerpiece.
Pro Tip: Stock up on farm-fresh eggs, roasted vegetables, and creamy brie from The Market to create the perfect holiday frittata!
Pomegranate Mimosas
Mimosas are a brunch essential, and this holiday season, it’s time to swap out the classic orange juice for something a little more festive—like pomegranate juice. Pomegranate mimosa’s deep ruby color and sweet-tart flavor are perfect for toasting to the holidays. Serve in champagne flutes and garnish with fresh pomegranate arils for a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
Pro Tip: Stop by The Market to pick up bubbly champagne and pomegranate juice for the perfect holiday mimosa!
