On a weekend morning, delight your friends with a homey menu that everyone will love

Weekday breakfasts are usually hurried, solitary meals: we’re usually standing, running out the door, or hunting for keys, cell phones, or gloves. But on the weekend, why not take advantage of the gift of time and make something wonderful to share with friends and family? Because breakfast food is simple to make and can often be prepped ahead, brunch is an easy way to entertain and make someone else’s weekend festive too. This menu puts a Pacific Northwest twist on the classics by using some of Washington and Oregon’s most distinctive ingredients: hazelnuts, apples, blackberries, and mushrooms.
