4 Easy Recipes For a Plant-Based Brunch

You eat with your eyes, so each of Eidia’s recipes uses a colorful element from the garden to make this plant-based brunch extra nutritious. Purple potatoes, red pepper, leafy green swiss chard, oranges, pears, sage, garlic, and a few of our other favorite nutrient-packed ingredients collide to make beautiful, colorful dishes perfect for the whole family.

Eidia’s Citrus Spritzer is a light, refreshing, non-alcoholic brunch drink full of vitamin C and antioxidants. Satsuma orange, clementine juice, and pink grapefruit juice combine with sparkling water to make a beautifully-colored drink perfect for adults and children alike.

This easy-to-make frittata combines farm-fresh eggs and seasonal, local vegetables for a nutrient-packed protein dish that is a viable option for picky eaters. Olive oil, onions, red peppers, and purple potatoes add just the right amount of savory sustenance amongst fluffy eggs cooked to perfection. Find the recipe for our Winter Vegetable Frittata here.

Pears are in season during the cold winter months, so why not take advantage to make poached pears or a series of fruit-based purees to top your desserts this holiday season? Pear purees work well in cocktails, over ice cream, or used to top a fluffy dutch baby, which is how we decided to use them for our holiday brunch…

… That being said, Dutch babies are sort of like the sophisticated older cousin of pancakes. GC’s go-to Dutch Baby recipe incorporates date sugar, nutmeg, and the kiss of a cast iron skillet to make a fluffy, buttery pancake that is both healthful and filling (a rare combination, we know).

Chai enjoys a reputation as a “trendy” drink not just because of its flavor profile but for its inherent health benefits– which makes it an ideal way to sneak in some extra antioxidants at brunch. Eidia’s bespoke chai incorporates fresh cardamom, cinnamon, orange peel, freshly-grated ginger and classic Assam tea, among a few other flu-fighting ingredients. Find the recipe here.
