Caryn’s Mothers Day Brunch Menu and Recipes

I would like to wish you all a very happy Mother’s Day. For many years, I would host a Mother’s Day Brunch and my siblings and family would join together to honor Mom. After everyone left, I would put on old jeans, get out my shovel and begin putting my annual flowers in and around my house. In the evening I would have a fabulous meal made by my husband and open the handmade gifts my children had made in school or scouts. It was always a beautiful day. I hope yours is too!

For those of you thinking of going the brunch route, I thought I would give you my menu:

The Menu

Quiche Lorraine
Fresh Cut up Fruit Kabobs
Muffins and Coffee Cake
Sausage and Bacon
Orange juice
Bloody Mary’s
Coffee

Quiche Lorraine

12 slices cooked bacon
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 ½ cup Half & Half
4 eggs
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp sugar
1/8 tsp cayenne red pepper
1 deep dish pie crust

Heat oven to 425
Sauté onion until translucent. In medium bowl, mix eggs, half & half, salt, sugar and pepper. Add cooked bacon, onion and cheese. Place ingredients into pie crust and bake15minutes. Reduce heat to 300 for 30 – 40 minutes until brown. Let cool for ten minutes before serving.

It’s a tasty, easy brunch that can be made ahead of time. Note: If you don’t expect guests, please feel free to copy this and have the family bring it to you in bed. This is exactly what I think I will do this year!  Happy Mother’s Day.
