Hola Guys!
I am hosting a small brunch for my fam-bam this weekend and need suggestions on an easy brunch menu.
I always do a bowl of fresh fruit so - usually cut up bosc pears with blueberries and strawberries.
I was thinking of making an egg bake of some sort - ideas?
I am drawing a blank…breakfast is my favorite meal everrrr…so why am I drawing a blank?
Ideas?
Re: Easy Brunch Menu
Make some things and buy the rest.
Egg bake?..frittata? Quiche?
Or go Desi and make khagina and halwa poori n chanay…along with frozen parathas and throw in some croissants and sweet pastries.
Re: Easy Brunch Menu
I’ve never made khagina…do you guys make it? My mom never made it either…do you have a recipe?
Re: Easy Brunch Menu
The amount of the ingredients will vary according to how many people you’ll be serving.
In my home, for 4 people…this is how we make it:
Finely chop an onion.
Take 3-5 medium-to-large potatoes and cut them in small pieces…the same way you would cut an apple for a fruit chaat. Basically small, thinly sliced pieces of potato.
Fry the onion and potatoes on low to medium heat. Let them cook and before the onions turn brown, you add finely chopped ginger. I can’t give you an amount as I eyeball it. You could say about 2 tablepoons of finely chopped ginger; it adds a nice flavor and takes the eggy smell out.
Then in a bowl, you crack and whisk 6-8 eggs. To the whisked eggs, you add chopped dhania, chopped green chillies, and diced tomatoes. I have to have tomatoes cuz I loves them…and usually I cut 1-2 of them. Give everything a good mix and then add the seasonings as per your taste. We do a teaspoon of salt and crushed red pepper flakes.
You can keep the onions and potatoes on low heat so they don’t burn on you. I guess I don’t have to tell you as you’ve been cooking for longer…but I is a notorious burner. 
So, the final step is to pour your whisked eggs containing the tomatoes/dhania/chilies/seasoning into the pan with the onions and tomatoes and scramble it up. That’s it.

I love your bbq pics…have a bbq brunch with fresh fruit and salad.
Re: Easy Brunch Menu
u want to go desi or just anyone?
If desi you can make/buy parathas and serve with the khagina. To go with can be shami kabab and place bread, whoever wants can put it in slice and have it. If you want something sweet also go for simple cake or cupcakes may be.
Other than this can be frittata with Garlic bread its my favourite combo and you can even put croissants for it. Hash browns can be added to the menu or may be chicken/beef/ even tomatoe cheese sandwiches would serve well. You can have option of pancakes too or if you have waffle maker that can go good too. Do post pics when you done
Re: Easy Brunch Menu
-freshly baked waffles (or pancakes if you dont have a waffle maker) with pancake syrup,etc
-egg souffle (with spinach,mushrooms,cheese and olives- assemble in a dish a day ahead and bake in the morning before serving)-it is YUM when served with steamed veggies
-Shakshouka (make the gravy a night ahead and do the eggs part+cooking in the morning)
Re: Easy Brunch Menu
