Breakfast for Father’s Day
Are you preparing to celebrate Father’s Day? How about a hearty breakfast the entire family will enjoy? Recently, delish.com featured 55 dad-approved brunch recipes, which will leave you feeling hungry after exploring the list. So, I thought it would be fun to share a few top picks and see how easy it would be to find ingredients at the farmers’ market.
Top picks include:
1. Breakfast tacos are a family favorite that can diversify in many ways.
2. Fried egg tostadas topped with pico de gallo; there’s nothing like fresh pico de gallo made with locally grown cilantro.
3. Waffles (or pancakes) with fried chicken on the side are a hungry man’s dish and a fun treat for all. They’re the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
4. Hash brown crusted bacon and cheddar quiche are perfect because hash browns, seasoned and crisped correctly, make everything delicious.
5. BLT egg benedict is a fantastic way to incorporate fresh greens and tomatoes into flavorful bites.
Now, check out this shopping list and the various vendors who have the ingredients needed to make these fun breakfast dishes for Dad. The list includes items currently in season at the Saturday market.
