There’s something especially meaningful about starting Mother’s Day with a homemade breakfast. Whether you're bringing her brunch in bed or gathering everyone around the table, a lovingly prepared meal is a simple yet thoughtful way to say thank you.
From vibrant fruit-topped dishes to savoury favourites with a twist, these recipes offer something for every palate—and many can be made ahead to keep your morning stress-free. However you serve it, don’t forget the finishing touch: a fresh cup of coffee, a pot of tea, or a celebratory “Momosa” on the side.
Classic Buttermilk Pancakes
A classic stack of pancakes is a standout choice for Mother’s Day brunch—especially when topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit like strawberries and blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. It’s like serving strawberry shortcake for breakfast, and who could say no to that?
The Ultimate Eggs Benedict
This brunch classic always hits. To make a smooth, velvety hollandaise, the trick is to gently heat the egg yolks over simmering water—this slow approach helps prevent curdling as you whisk in the melted butter. For easy yolk separation, crack each egg into your hand and let the whites slip through your fingers into a bowl below, passing the yolk back and forth as needed.
Blueberry Skillet Crumb Cake
Ever wished your blueberry muffin was four times bigger? This breakfast cake delivers on that dream, packed with fresh blueberries, topped with a crunchy almond crumb, and served warm right from the buttery skillet it’s baked in.
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
Feeding a crowd this Mother’s Day? Bake up a big batch of cozy cinnamon rolls and serve them warm, gooey, and fresh from the oven.
Sun Dried Tomato Goat Cheese Crustless Quiche
This sun-dried tomato and goat cheese crustless quiche is as easy as it gets—no crust needed, yet it still bakes up with a beautifully crisp edge. It’s simple, satisfying, and seriously crave-worthy.
Pear-and-Raspberry Baked French Toast
Thick slices of challah absorb the rich custard in this casserole, while Bosc pears and fresh raspberries bring the perfect touch of sweetness. The best part? You can prepare it all ahead of time and simply bake it just before serving brunch.
Roasted Peppers with Eggs
Pair with whole grain toast and a light salad for a cozy take on dinner for breakfast. When halving and coring the peppers, leave the stems on—they’ll help keep the egg in place as the peppers roast and soften.
Blueberry Lemon Loaf
Wild blueberries, prized for their bold flavour, pair perfectly with bright, citrusy lemon in this timeless loaf.
Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
When it comes to easy, crowd-pleasing brunch options, coffee cake is always a winner. We love a fresh twist on a classic dish, and this raspberry and cream cheese version might just be our new favourite.
Swiss Chard Frittata
This healthy egg dish features sautéed chard, roasted tomatoes, and tangy feta, offering vibrant pops of flavour in every bite.
