Even though people will tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they're wrong. At least on Saturdays and Sundays, when it's all about the art of the brunch.
In my crazy mind, breakfast is about getting that perfect low-calorie balance of fruits, veggies, whole grains and protein. Boring. But brunch is a whole different animal! It has to be slightly greasy, because it's a weekend, treat yo self! It also has to be super flavorful because brunches at restaurants are always delicious and, let's face it, easier than making all of this at home. And most importantly, the meal must be enticing to people who rolled out of bed at 7am for morning yoga and people who are going back to bed after this meal because they closed down the bars last night. Tough crowd!
One of the most perfect brunch recipes that I can think of is my Pancetta Quiche with Caramelized Peppers and Onions. This savory, cheesy, melt-in-your-mouth quiche is easy to prepare thanks to this awesome thing called refrigerated pie crust, but has a sophisticated flair from the sweet and crunchy Pancetta. Brunch game strong!
