Italian Brunch Recipes

Italy has embraced the concept of ‘not quite breakfast, not quite lunch’ in recent years, and this collection of Italian brunch ideas is a great way to spend time with family and friends.

Organic grilled asparagus with poached egg, Parmigiano and lemon zest is an all-time classic, and if you want to go a little off-piste, crunchy fried polenta, or a panini with chocolate and brie are decadent delights! Fabulous frittatas include potato and prosciutto, egg white with lox and rocket, and courgette, while for a sweet-savoury sensation, Italian brunch dishes don’t come much better than bruschetta with ricotta and marmalade, or a plateful of ricotta pancakes.

Elevate your weekends with this incredible collection of bellissimo Italian brunch recipes.
