An easy way to make a large batch of breakfast sandwiches is to start with an oven-broiled frittata filled with crispy pancetta, goat cheese and herbs. Once the eggs are golden brown, slice and serve on ciabatta rolls along with some hot pepper relish.

These fluffy buttermilk waffles have bits of strawberry in every bite. Topped with a rich strawberry-black pepper butter and a tart lemon curd whipped cream, you’ll have dreams of this brunch dish dancing in your head.

When it comes to Bobby Flay brunch recipes, this twist on classic macaroni and cheese is a winner. Like a good carbonara, it has eggs and pancetta, plus a blend of cheeses including Asiago, American and Irish Cheddar, and aged Fontina. It’s also a dish you can make ahead of time and pop in the oven just before brunch is served.

Inspired by the classic dessert, this French toast has a sweet banana topping and a dollop of whipped cream cheese. It’s a recipe that can be easily doubled or tripled as you add more people to your guest list.

Eggs Benedict is a classic brunch dish but if you want to really stand out over the holidays, make Bobby Flay’s Texas-flavoured recipe. Layer poached eggs on thick Texas toast with thinly-sliced grilled steak, a tomato and black bean relish, and a steak sauce Hollandaise.

Every brunch spread needs a salad, and this is one of Bobby’s favourites. Peppery arugula, crisp fennel, sweet grape tomatoes and chickpeas combine with a simple dressing for a dish rich in texture and flavour.
