Whether you are spoiling dad with Father’s Day brunch this weekend or enjoying easy and relaxed mornings at home this summer, I have easy sweet AND savory recipes that you can make and serve to put together a healthy and delicious brunch at home starting with Single-Serving Baked Eggs.
Single-serve baked eggs
Start with 1 pound of sauteed American lamb which is flavor-forward, nutrient-rich source of protein that’s easy to prepare and super versatile. One 3-ounce serving fuels nearly half of your daily protein needs and provides essential nutrients including iron, zinc, vitamin B12 and omega-3 fats. Then add 1 can of Pastene Kitchen Ready® Ground Peeled Tomatoes with No Salt Added which you can find at Publix. Kitchen Ready means the tomatoes are steam peeled and topped with fresh tomato puree for extra sweetness and texture. Season with salt and pepper and divide the mixture between 4 oven-safe skillets. Gently crack the eggs on top, add cheese and bake for 20-30 minutes at 400 F or until the eggs reach desired doneness.
Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal
Next, balance out your brunch spread with a sweet option. This Morning Glory Baked oatmeal from my book can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. This recipe is also free of added sugar and gets all of its natural sweetness from apples and dates. Dates are one of my favorite healthy baking and snack hacks because they are the only superfood that taste like candy with their delicious caramel flavor while offering many nutrients including fiber, potassium and magnesium. Rancho Meladuco Date Farm is a female founded small business. Their imperfect dates knowns as the grinders can be purchased at Walmart stores nationwide at an affordable price.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cup sof rolled oats with ¼ cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Then mix in 1 cup of milk, ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1/3 cup of date paste. And finally, fold in 2/3 cup of peeled and grated carrots, ¼ cup chopped dates, 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts and 1 grated Envy apple. Transfer to a pre-greased baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.
Summer Apple Salsa
For a fresh and light accompaniment to serve with your sweet and savory options, we have a summer apple salsa. The star of this dish is Envy Apples which offer beautifully balanced sweetness, an uplifting fresh aroma and satisfying crunch. Plus, the slices naturally stay white longer which makes them perfect for homemade salsa and paired with cheese boards, sandwiches, mocktails and more. Simply combine 2 diced envy apples with 1 diced red bell pepper, 1/3 cup diced red onion, ¼ cup chopped cilantro and ½ seeded and minced jalapeno with the juice of 2 limes and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy on its own or served with breakfast tacos, scrambled eggs, French toast and more.
Plant Protein-Powered Ramen
Another savory option to add to your healthy brunch spread is high protein plan-powdered ramen. Chef Woo Ramen is shaking up the breakfast scene with plant-protein ramen made with high-quality ingredients including organic noodles, savory broth and variety of vegetables with 20 grams of plant protein per serving, the equivalent of 3 eggs. Boost your ramen bowls with additional nutrient-packed ingredients like in this green goddess bowl. Made with 1 cup of Chef Woo Ramen, box choy sautéed with a splash of soy sauce sprouts, nori, sesame seeds and green onion. You can find Chef Woo Ramen on Amazon and at Walmart and Aldi nationwide.
