Mom's Breakfast in Bed

Mom's Breakfast in Bed - By Kirk Leins

Taking mom to breakfast or brunch on Mother's Day is a time-honored tradition. While it is a worthy start to her special day, you may do better at home, without the big crowds. Why not serve the mom in your life breakfast in bed?

Breakfast Bruschetta
(Serves 2 to 3)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon store-bought pesto sauce
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 12- to 14-inch French baguette
  • 1 5-ounce package of goat cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix together pesto and olive oil and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream and a generous pinch of salt. Set aside.

Cut baguette crosswise into four equal-size pieces. Split those pieces in half lengthwise, yielding eight pieces total. Using your fingers, scrape out the "bready" part and either reserve for another use or discard. Toast bread crusts in oven for 5 minutes or until light brown and crisp.

Remove bread from oven and immediately spread with equal amounts of goat cheese. Set aside.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium flame and add butter. Once butter has melted, add eggs and scramble to the desired doneness.

Top each slice of bread with equal amounts of scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with equal amounts of sun-dried tomatoes and drizzle with pesto oil. Serve immediately.


Fruit Salad With Lime Yogurt Dressing
(Serves 4)
  • 5 cups of assorted ripe fruit cut into bite-size pieces (pineapple, melon, berries, apple, pear, kiwi, etc.)
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon mint leaves, finely chopped
Make the dressing by combining yogurt, honey, lime juice and zest in a bowl. Mix well and chill for one hour.

In a bowl, combine the cut-up fruit with the chilled dressing. Toss well and allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes at room temperature. Garnish with finely chopped mint and serve.

Whether you choose to serve the mom in your life her breakfast in bed or at the dining room table, one thing is for sure, it is the perfect way to tell her you love her.

Happy Mother's Day!
