Mother’s Day Brunch

Menu

Spinach and Herb Strata

Sausage

Bacon

Toast with Easy Berry Jam

Mimosa

Planning:

Three days before purchase all ingredients and make the Easy Berry Jam.  One day before cook breakfast sausage and bacon.  Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.  Prepare strata the night before.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.  Set brunch table the night before.

Preparing Brunch:

Set table using your best china and silverware.  Or purchase floral party plates and matching napkins.  Make a fresh flower arrangement or cookie flower bouquet and place in the center of the table.

Approximately 45 minutes to an hour before brunch, pre-heat the oven and bake strata.  While strata is setting after baking, rewarm sausage and bacon in the microwave.  If you do not have a microwave, put sausage and bacon in a medium skillet and rewarm on low turning occasionally while strata is baking.  Careful not to overcook.  You could also put sausage and bacon into separate, small separate foil pans, cover with foil and seal tightly, and place in the oven with the strata for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
