Main
Egg dishes are always fantastic for midday meals. Aim to construct this tart with garden fresh chives, plum tomatoes and gooey goat-cheese; it exudes brunch perfection. For guests wanting a more protein-packed alternative, another option is the ham and cheese frittata.
Starter
Anna Olson’s morning glory yogurt loaf
This breakfast loaf takes advantage of late summer peaches and fragrant coconut; it’s a casual alternative to pancakes or waffles.
Side
This uncomplicated summer salad gets lively with a maple-infused vinaigrette and toasted almonds. Serve with fruity, creamy crostini, which are complemented by ripe, seasonal plums.
Dessert
Fresh fruit salad with lime-ginger drizzle
You’ll love this healthier dessert idea with minty lime syrup drizzled over fresh-cut fruit.
Cocktail
A light, refreshing cocktail is de rigeur these days. Celebrate summer by adding sweet apricots to this white wine sangria.
