Description
An easy, satisfying brunch menu prepared in just 1 hour featuring eggs, pancakes, sausage, toast, fruit, and juice—perfect for relaxed, stress-free entertaining.
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups dry buttermilk pancake mix
- 1 1/2 cups water (or as directed on pancake mix)
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 loaf sliced sourdough bread
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries
- 4 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 pound breakfast sausage links
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook the sausage links on a baking sheet for 15–20 minutes or until fully cooked and browned. Transfer to a 200°F (93°C) oven to keep warm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix and water. Stir until just combined. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook pancakes in batches until golden on both sides. Keep warm in the oven.
- Whisk eggs with milk until smooth. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the eggs, stirring gently, until just set and creamy.
- Toast sourdough slices in batches using a toaster or skillet.
- Wash and prepare the mixed berries. Arrange the cooked items, berries, and maple syrup on serving platters. Pour orange juice into a pitcher or individual glasses and serve.
Notes
- Prepare pancake batter and wash berries the night before to save time.
- Use a warm oven to keep items hot while finishing the rest of the meal.
- You can substitute waffles for pancakes or include a baked egg dish for variation.
- If serving platters are limited, use cutting boards or lined baking trays for presentation.
