Brunch recipes with leeks

Egg, bacon, leek and cheddar bread
Bread, eggs, bacon, cheese and leeks: 5 ingredients that are sure to be found in every good brunch. When you mix all these ingredients in the same recipe, you get a beautiful, delicious bread with toppings!
Eggs Benedict with leeks
It’s a classic from lunch/dinner restaurants with a pun with “egg” in their trademark 😉. This recipe is so delicious and simple that you’ll now prefer to cook it at home rather than order it from the restaurant!
Brunch recipes with asparagus

It’s not just leeks that deserve a place in this classic brunch recipe for eggs Benedict. Here, asparagus earns its place alongside poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, and it’s a big hit!
Crêpes bretonnes with ham, cheese and béchamel sauce

Brunch recipes with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
