Notes
Home Chef Tip: For a dairy-free alternative, top with black beans instead of feta.
Don’t forget simple little touches like a tablescape and decorations. I like a simple menu, as detailed above, of four or five dishes – and one spotlight dish. We usually set up a serving station so there isn’t too much reaching over one another for the delicious dishes. I can’t resist a signature drink and a little goodie bag too. All in all, create an environment of comfort and ease. Your Sunday Brunch will be unforgetable.
