Make any morning extra special with a fresh and fruity brunch! From homemade recipes to simple shortcuts and even a chef-prepared feast, these decadent dishes are perfect for spring celebrations like Mother’s Day or just because. Spring it on!
Make French toast even tastier by starting with buttery croissant bread and finishing it all off with berries and whipped cream or your favorite toppings.
PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 5–7 MINUTES
YIELD: 2 SERVINGS
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup cream, half and half or milk
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 4 slices La Boulangerie Croissant Toast
• 2 tablespoons butter
Combine eggs, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a work bowl. Whisk together for 15–20 seconds until well incorporated.
Lay bread slices in a shallow dish in a single layer and pour the batter over the top. Flip bread over and allow to soak in the batter for about 5 minutes, then flip over and allow to soak another 5 minutes. Nearly all the batter should be absorbed into the bread.
Heat griddle or sauté pan on medium heat. Add the butter and then the soaked bread. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip bread and cook about 3 more minutes. Remove to a dish and serve with your favorite toppings.
Not just for pie filling, these amazing, all-natural berries can add a little sweetness to breakfast, cocktails and more. Try their Blueberries, Sweet Dark Cherries, Red Tart Cherries or all three for a beautiful fruit medley.

PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 50–55 MINUTES
YIELD: 8–10 SERVINGS
• ½ pound fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup onion, small diced
• 3 cups cremini mushrooms, small diced
• 8 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream, half and half or milk
• 4 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
• ½ cup scallions, bias cut
• 4 cups croissants, 1-inch diced
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the spinach and water and cover with a lid until just wilted. Remove spinach to a strainer and cool. When cool enough to handle, press any excess moisture out of the spinach with a towel and reserve.
Heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and then the onions. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until caramelized. Add the mushrooms and cook until all of the moisture has evaporated and mushrooms are beginning to brown. Remove from the pan and reserve.
Heat oven to 325°F.
Mix eggs, cream, Swiss cheese and scallions with the diced croissant. Add the wilted spinach, sautéed onions and mushrooms and toss to combine.
Spoon mixture into a 10-inch round casserole dish or similarly sized baking dish and top with grated Parmesan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 150°F.
If making the night before, follow instructions all the way to filling the baking dish, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from fridge about an hour before baking, then preheat oven to 325°F and bake as directed above.
This strata-inspired take on French toast gets extra flair from a brioche base, sweet cinnamon vanilla custard and individual servings for extra elegance.
PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES, PLUS 10 MINUTES SOAKING
COOK TIME: 18–22 MINUTES
YIELD: 2 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
• 4 slices brioche
• 3 eggs, separated
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup cream
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Butter, to taste
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 6 ounces fresh berries, for garnish
• Powdered sugar, for garnish
• Maple syrup, for garnish
Heat oven to 350°F. Dice brioche into ¾-inch pieces. Place egg yolks, vanilla, cinnamon, cream, brown sugar and salt in a work bowl. Mix with a spatula to combine. Add half of the cut brioche and toss to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes—the brioche in the egg mixture will almost completely break down.
While the brioche is soaking, grease two 8-ounce ramekins or baking dishes with butter and then coat with granulated sugar.
In a work bowl, whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold remaining bread into egg mixture until evenly coated and then fold in the whipped egg whites 1 ⁄ 3 at a time. Transfer soufflé mixture into the ramekins and bake for 15–20 minutes, until soufflé has risen and reaches an internal temperature of 150°F. (Soufflés will fall slightly when removed from oven.)
Soufflés can be served immediately either topped with powdered sugar, maple syrup and berries or turned out onto a dish by gently running a sharp knife around the edge.
