This year, wow your loved ones with a one-of-a-kind New Year’s brunch. Our festive recipe ideas are ideal for ringing in the new year in simplicity and style!
A mimosa bar
Kick off the festivities by setting up a mimosa bar for your guests. And if you really want to impress, make sure to multiply the flavour combos!
Classic mimosa
Simply pour equal parts orange juice and bubbly into a Champagne glass.
Lychee mimosa
This version is prepared like a classic mimosa, but replace the orange juice with grapefruit juice and add a touch of lychee liqueur.
Pineapple mimosa
For an exotic touch, make your mimosa with pineapple juice and bubbly, then top it off with a drizzle of coconut-flavoured rum.
Delicious œufs en cocotte
Add an elegant touch to your brunch by serving a French classic: œufs en cocotte. Simply crack eggs into greased ramekins, place in a double boiler, and cook a few minutes in the oven at 355°F. You can simply season with salt and pepper or get creative and come up with flavourful combos.

Dice some tomatoes and add them to the original recipe. Stir in some crème fraiche and top with a slice of goat cheese.
