French Brunch Recipes

These fabulously French brunch ideas are the ultimate in decadent eating! Warm, crusty homemade French baguettes are a brunch staple, while for true Gallic classics, try a baked Gruyere and sausage omelette, a traditional croque monsieur, or an asparagus and Cheddar quiche. 

No list of French brunch dishes is complete without French toast with caramelised apple and blueberries, or upside-down apple French toast with cranberries and pecans. If you’re going all out to impress, ham hock croquettes with truffled pea puree and fried quail egg, or a heavenly blue cheese souffle with fresh figs and honey are serious showstoppers!

Indulge in the fantastic flavours of France with these French brunch recipes.

Fabulous French Brunch Dishes

Whether you're looking for simple French brunch recipes or something more elaborate, we've got you covered.
Our French brunch ideas are a glut of Gallic gourmet greats. Coffee and a croissant is lovely, but white peach-bourbon French toast with peach-pecan maple syrup, or a delectable duck hash on a toasted baguette is better! Traditional French brunch dishes include a croque madame with a fried egg and a cheesy sauce Mornay, a roasted salmon niçoise platter, or spinach pesto scrambled eggs on garlic brioche with country ham. For mouthwatering Michelin magic, Michel Roux’s souffle fromage is hard to beat. A classic French omelette is a brunch staple, and Parma ham, Gruyere and poached egg croissants are fab family favourites. Sweet or savoury, our French brunch recipes are a treasure trove of tasty treats!
