English Breakfast Toad-In-the-Hole

This is as British as you can get in the morning! English breakfast made regular features for me growing up, especially on Sundays before church service. Toad in the hole? Not so much, or ever! I certainly wish it had. Like a Dutch baby on the outside, you whip up some batter, add meat and/or vegetables in the middle and bake until a puffed batter forms, also known as Yorkshire pudding. If you are looking for some other brunch ideas for the spring (although this dish can be eaten any time of the year), check out these six recipes, including some blueberry and lemon curd French toast, quiche, Easter egg scones, and shakshuka. 

Most renditions of the toad-in-the-hole use sausage, although leftover meat, kidneys, and rump steak were used back in the day. The Yorkshire pudding - a mixture of eggs, flour, and milk - was often served as a side with gravy, created when cooks used the drippings from roasting to make the crispy pastry. To make this an ultimate brunch version, I took the concept of the English breakfast - which also has several versions across the UK - and applied it, sans the black pudding, bacon and baked beans! The great thing is this recipe is customizable. The portobello mushrooms, tomato and sausage do the job. 

Which sausages should you use for Toad-in-the-Hole?

I used Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Sausage from Alfresco, and the heat added some extra flavour and flair, although hot Italian sausage would be another great option. Chorizo would be tasty, and give it a Spanish spin. Pork, vegan, and turkey sausages would work as well. You'll want to make sure you cook the sausage to the appropriate internal temperature. This will also allow you to crispen the skin before popping the 'toads' into the oven!

Why is it called 'Toad-in-the-Hole?

That's always a great question! Many British have interesting names, like Bangers and Mash and Bubble and Squeak. The origins aren't specific, but it's obvious someone was inspired by toads playing a peek-a-boo game, given the appearance. Interestingly enough, however, some people found the dish to be a little vulgar! Whatever the perceptions and origin, this is a fun dish you can surprise your family and guests at the morning feast.

Mushroom and Heirloom Tomato Quiche

This recipe is part of a six course brunch.

I don't think you can ever go wrong with quiche. It's another recipe that's super customizable and a great addition to the brunch table.

The only thing challenge with quiche is that there is a risk it will end up tasting bland. How do you avoid that? Make sure you season the egg mixture in addition to your filling well; it will make a huge difference!

If you're tired of omelettes, scrambled, or fried eggs, quiche is a great way to add different flavours and textures while getting your dose of protein and egg differently, with the addition of a delicious buttery, flaky pastry, of course. I used puff pastry because I like the extra flakiness, but you can still use regular pie crust. I also used coconut milk as a non-dairy alternative.

Add this recipe to your brunch spread, weekday breakfast repertoire (go crust-free and use a muffin tray), or any time you have folks over for lunch and need a light fare - you can serve it with a light side salad.

Ingredients

1 puff pastry sheet, thawed (10 minutes before baking)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms

1/4 cup corn (canned or fresh from the cobb)

2 tablespoons garlic, minced

1/2 green bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon spice for rice (or your favorite all-purpose seasoning)

2 shallots, diced

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

1 tablespoon cumin

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon coriander

1 teaspoon fenugreek powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 large heirloom tomato, thinly sliced

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

4 eggs

1/2 cup coconut milk

Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil and saute the mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, spices and herbs; cook for 1-2 minutes to bring the flavours out. Add the fresh garlic, bell pepper, and scallions; cook for another 3-4 minutes to soften the vegetables.

Deglaze the pan with soy sauce, then add the corn. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, then a set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, parmesan cheese, spice for rice, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until well combined.

Place the puff pastry into a 9-inch pie dish. Since the puff pastry is square, you can trim the edges or fold them slightly. Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the pastry, followed by the tomato slices.

Pour the egg mixture on top, garnish with some additional dried and fresh basil if you please, and bake for 30 minutes at 350F or until the eggs are set - they should no longer jiggle if you move the pan around.

Sprinkle a little more parmesan on top, cool for about 10 minutes, and serve warm.

Ugandan Rolex (Omelette Rolled in Chapati)

Good street food can be made in the kitchen, make no mistake! Whether you’ve seen it on TV or enjoyed it in person, it’s probably fairly easy to make and perfect to take on the go. If you like breakfast wraps and burritos, this recipe is for you.

The “rolex” is a vegetable omelette wrapped in fresh chapati, a flaky, unleavened flatbread similar to roti. It’s one of my favorite flatbreads, I even have another recipe for it, here. Chapati is very popular across East Africa and often accompanies almost every meal, so it’s no surprise that it’s also used to whip up a quick, on-the-go snack.

“Rolex” definitely rolls off the tongue better than “rolled eggs.” It’s both humorous and ironic for a meal that’s meant to save you time.

But in this case, you can take your time. Because chapati is unleavened, there’s no need to wait for the bread to rise. A batch of these wraps makes a great brunch platter or lunch served with a side salad.

There are no rules about what goes inside or on top of your eggs, this is where you can have fun with flavors! I used sun-dried tomatoes, but you can substitute fresh diced tomatoes. I also added pesto and goat cheese for layers of flavor, and seasoned the eggs with salt, pepper, fenugreek powder, parsley, and Italian seasoning. The avocado was the cherry on top, making each bite extra luscious. If you like a little heat, try adding jalapeño.

This is a great way to start a weekend morning or enjoy a hearty post-workout meal. Give it a try!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these rolex wraps warm with a fresh side salad, such as mixed greens with a light vinaigrette, or roasted veggies for a more filling meal. They also pair well with a cooling yogurt dip or a spicy chutney if you want to add some contrast. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or even a quick dinner.

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 15 MinInactive time: 10 MinTotal time: 40 Min

Cook modePrevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

Chapati:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus extra for cooking
• 1/4 cup hot water + 1 tablespoon hot water (adjust as needed)

Omelettes:

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons pesto
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons goat cheese
• 1 avocado, mashed or sliced with lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the chapati:

1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix. Gradually add the hot water while stirring to form a soft dough. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball, then divide into two equal pieces. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick and roughly the size of the pan you’ll use to cook the omelette.
3. Lightly brush each chapati with oil, then press into a lightly floured shallow plate. Flip and repeat.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Cook each chapati for about 15 seconds per side, flipping once, until you see brown spots and the chapatis are cooked through. Set aside.

Make the omelettes:

1. In a bowl, beat the eggs with black pepper, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, salt, Parmesan cheese, half of the goat cheese, and half of the sun-dried tomatoes.
2. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and cook omelettes one at a time until set.

Assemble:

1. Place each omelette on top of a chapati. Top each with half an avocado and 1 tablespoon of pesto. Sprinkle with the remaining sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese.
2. Roll up each chapati tightly to form a “rolex.” Cut each in half, secure with toothpicks, and serve hot.

Pistachio and Orange Pancakes

I had some pistachios and had been reading up on North African cooking, plus, it was breakfast time! I was instantly inspired by baghrirs, which, with the addition of yeast, are enjoyed in the North African region, often served with a mix of honey and butter. They are also known as Moroccan pancakes. The spongy appearance and texture come from the yeast and semolina flour, but I used regular whole wheat flour, they came out great!

Raisins are a common addition, but I decided to add pistachios to the mix as a topping to add crunch and compliment the citrus element. Pistachios are also no stranger to Maghreb kitchens! Cooking with citrus is underrated, but commonly paired with pistachio so I grated in some orange. I have made orange glaze for babka which I sprinkled pistachios over, and that was delicious proof! It also helps that orange mixed with honey is a glorious combination.

The holes allow the pancakes to soak up your sauce.

These pancakes serve as a fabulous breakfast, brunch or tea time addition, definitely try them out! I will be making these more often.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole-wheat or semolina flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 cup pistachios, crushed

1/2 teaspoon fast acting dry yeast

1 cup warm water

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon white sugar

1/8 + 1/8 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 teaspoon orange juice

1/2 orange herbal tea bag

1/2 cup honey

4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

In a blender (or bowl where you'll use a hand mixer), add the sugar, water, and yeast. Sit until the yeast activates and foams, in about 5-10 minutes.

Add the flours, milk, baking powder, salt, vanilla, 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, and eggs. Beat the mixture until smooth and the flour is all incorporated with no lumps. Sit the batter for 35 minutes.

Scoop a 1/4 cup on a non-stick pan and cook until bubbles show and burst, don't turn over! Just remove from heat once the pancake has browned underneath.

Heat the butter, orange zest, orange juice, 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, and honey in the microwave until the butter melts, stir well. Mix in the tea bag contents.

Pour the hot honey orange butter sauce over your pancakes, sprinkle with pistachios and serve! Makes 12-16 pancakes.

Tip: as you cook your pancakes, occasionally blend your batter for a few seconds to revive the fluffy factor.

Pina Colada Pancakes

Who doesn't like a good Pina Colada? The coconut milk and pineapple juice cocktail is laced with rum to give it a nice tropical punch. Why not transfer this to the breakfast classic pancakes? The drink is said to have originated in Puerto Rico.

No alcohol required of course! (Unless brunch cocktails are involved).

All you need to do is substitute the milk and add the pineapple for some added moisture.

Make it a fun pancake board while you're at it and bring out the cherries and coconut flakes! If you can get those fancy cocktail umbrellas, all the better.

These pancakes are quite moist, ladle them on the thinner side to make sure they are cooked through.

Ingredients

1/2 cup pineapple, finely chopped

2 cups of coconut milk

1/2 teaspoon rum extract

1 tablespoon coconut oil

2 bananas

1/4 cup coconut flour

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup water (optional)

1 teaspoon granulated or coconut sugar

Cooking spray or vegan butter

Instructions

Mash the bananas, then mix in the finely chopped pineapple.

Add the rum extract and coconut oil, mix well, then add the coconut milk.

Add the sugar, coconut, and all-purpose flours and mix until the batter is evenly incorporated and wet, try not to overmix.

Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto a griddle or greased non-stick pan. When you start to see bubbles and the edges start to come off the pan, flip.

Cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side until they are done.

Makes about 10-12 pancakes. Serve with cherries, pineapple, coconut flakes, and syrup.

Finger Millet Peanut Butter Porridge

Most people enjoy porridge as oatmeal, but it's also quite popular in cornmeal form with an array of toppings. I grew up eating it pretty plain, save for butter, sugar, honey or peanut butter. I used to love it in the morning before school, especially during the winter. Porridge is a very popular breakfast option for most Zimbabweans. It's cheap and can keep you full for hours. Peanuts also feature prominently in African cuisine, so you won't find a shortage of meals that include them. Luckily, peanut butter is amazing! Ground millet is a healthier option with tons of calcium and tastes better than ground cornmeal porridge in my opinion. So try this recipe out, it's comforting and delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup finger millet, ground and toasted

2 1/2 cups hot water

1 cup cold water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon butter

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon peanuts (to garnish)

Combine the millet and cold water to make a paste.

Add the boiled water and stir with a wooden spoon or whisk to remove the lumps.

Reduce the temperature and simmer covered for 10-15 minutes.

Serve hot with sugar, honey, butter, and peanut butter.

Whole-wheat Cornmeal Cereal Pancakes with Jalapeno and Honey

I love corn and cornmeal and grew up eating it in various forms, but never pancakes! Combining whole wheat flour and cornmeal not only adds a gritty dimension to your pancakes but gives you extra benefits like added fiber and vitamins. Adding jalapenos and honey gives them an extra kick and some natural sweetness and both ingredients are known to compliment cornmeal based baked goods such as muffins and bread. Enjoy these mini pancakes in cereal form, inspired by the Tik Tok and Instagram craze.

1 cup almond milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons honey

3/4 cups cornmeal

3/4 cups whole wheat flour

Whisk the egg, vanilla, and milk in a medium-sized bowl. 

Step 2

Step 4

Pipe the batter at your desired size into the pan and while one side is cooking sprinkle the minced jalapeno on top, then turn over when you start to see bubbles do not burn! Set aside and cook your mini pancakes in batches.

Step 5

Easter has different meanings to different people, but typically family and good food are involved particularly on Sunday mid-morning.

Pumpkin Waffles

The other day I made some no-bake pumpkin energy bites using a lone can of pumpkin in the pantry, and it still left me with some unused pumpkin. If you have some leftover for whatever reason, consider whipping together some breakfast waffles! The smell will scent your kitchen and should fill you up until lunchtime.

Stuffed Peanut Butter and Black Berry French Toast

The inspiration for this was both the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and the popularity of both peanut butter and mulberries in Zimbabwe. Since I could not find the berries, black berries were the closest substitute. The combination of sweet and salty comes together seamlessly through the gooey French toast, the perfect treat for brunch!

Thanksgiving Breakfast Hash

Breakfast hash is one of the easiest ways to serve up a delicious, robust, savory meal in the morning or for brunch. It is typically a mix of potatoes, vegetables and meat, topped with eggs in a fashion similar to shakshouka. The best part is that you can pretty much add what you want to it. This makes hash a great way to make use of leftovers, especially during the holidays. This one was inspired by what is typically seen on the American Thanksgiving dinner table, incorporating turkey, sweet potato, and cranberries.

Breakfast Enchilladas

Need a quick, delicious breakfast packed with protein? This one is family friendly or for a two, guaranteed to keep you full until lunch. Mexican enchiladas are a great treat to wake up to with a side of chorizo sausage, tortilla chips and queso dip, fresh fruit, and churros! The simple tortillas with a steak, cheese and egg topped with an enchilada sauce are a people pleaser for any time of the day without the eggs.

For the dish pan, use one where you can tightly fit the enchiladas so that they hold together - a 2-quart casserole pan should work fine.
