RE: Brunch Recipes
One of the easiest, most decadent and delicious recipes I know of for a desert which can be served at a brunch. You will not believe how simple it is to make and everyone will rave about it. I got this recipe from the chef at a very upscale restaurant and have been making it for years. It never goes out of style.
Take sour cream (depending on how many people you can use part of a container or all) Add a couple of heaping tablespoons of brown sugar to sweeten Add a squirt of liquer. I found Gran Marnier (orange flavor) to be best. It is important that you add only a few drops at a time and taste until you get a nice flavor. If you add too much it definitely will overpower the taste. Let this sit in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a wine glass or champagne tulip glass add fresh fruit (strawberries/rasberries/blueberries) half way up the glass.
Fill the rest of the glass with the sour cream topping.
You may also choose to gently mix the fruit and cream and then put it into the glass but I found it more attractive to do them separately.
Viola! You're done and all you have to do is wait for the compliments. Believe me everyone will love it.

Fruit salad is good for brunch. You can make it ahead using some fresh and some canned fruits.
Try one of those make-ahead breakfast casseroles. They usually use eggs, sausage or bacon, and cheese. I've seen some that also use hashed brown potatoes. You make them the day ahead and just bake that morning. viola!

i got a really cool recipe for ziploc omeletes the other day in my email....all you do is crack your eggs and place in a ziploc freezer bag...then add whatever you might like to your omelete. I tried ham and cheese. shake it up and then get all the extra air out of the bag. place in boiling water and cook for 13-15 minutes. then just pop the omelete out of the bag....awesome....very light and fluffy...and the recipe said you can fix several different kinds beforehand and keep the day before in your refrigerator....and depending on the size of your pan you can boil several at a time....

Caramel-Pecan Rolls Prep time: 30 min.

Bake in a 375 degree F oven, uncovered, until golden, allowing 25 to 30 minutes for unchilled rolls and 30 to 35 minutes for chilled rolls.
