Traditional Brunch Menu with Waffles



AddThis Social Bookmark Button
WafflesA traditional brunch menu complete with homemade Belgian waffles topped with real whipped cream and blueberry syrup and served with sausage, a mimosa, and a hot fruit compote.

If you have been craving a homemade breakfast, this one will bring back memories of sitting in Grandma's kitchen waiting for the meal to be served.

The waffles are made with sour cream, buttermilk, and butter-completely decadent!

The hot fruit compote is a combination of pineapple, peaches, pears, cherries, and oranges baked in an orange sauce. Warm and comforting for brunch.

Serve these waffles with real whipped cream, and your choice of syrups or jams along with a mimosa and coffee or tea for a fine brunch idea. Find more ideas for your brunch menu here.


Brunch Menu

Sausage Links or Patties
Hot Fruit Compote
Mimosa (find more drink recipes here.)
Good Black Coffee or Tea

This menu serves 4-6 persons.




To prepare this brunch menu begin about 1 hour ahead, make the fruit compote first. While this is in the oven, cook the sausage and keep warm or reheat just before serving in the microwave. Prepare the coffee and make a pitcher of orange juice for the mimosas.

Whip the cream, sweetening it with a few tablespoons of confectioners (powdered) sugar. Mix up the recipe for the waffles, then set the table with plates, napkins, and glassware. Heat up your waffle iron and start making the waffles, but don't call everyone until you have about 4 waffles ready or everyone will be waiting. Have your guests start with the fruit compote as you tend to the waffles. If you are really backed up you can also have your guests make their own mimosas to their liking.

Sound like a lot? Don't worry. It will all come together. Just save cooking the waffles for last, so they are fresh and hot off the waffle iron. It is nice if you have an extra person to help in the kitchen for the other items if someone is offering.
