Three simple but delicious brunch recipes you have to try this weekend

Brunch has gained immense popularity as a delightful dining option that merges the essence of breakfast and lunch. Ideal for leisurely weekends or holidays, brunch offers a scrumptious spread reminiscent of both breakfast and lunch menus. If you're considering hosting a brunch soiree, here are three recipes to consider for your menu.

Firstly, try your hand at delectable salmon fritters. In a sizable mixing bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, dill, chives, salt, pepper, and eggs. Thoroughly mix the ingredients, adding breadcrumbs as needed if the mixture appears too moist. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan and drop spoonfuls of the salmon mixture into the pan to fry. Accompany these fritters with generous dollops of sour cream, sprinkled chives, and lemon wedges for added zest.

Secondly, indulge in the delightful challenge of crafting perfect scones. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, taking care not to overmix, as this could yield dense scones. To ensure uniform size, spoon the mixture into your muffin tin using an ice-cream scoop. Bake the scones in the oven until they achieve a golden brown hue, or until a skewer inserted into the center emerges clean.

Lastly, delight in a vegetable and egg muffin. Preheat your oven to 200°C and lightly grease the muffin tin holes with a touch of butter. In a medium bowl, combine sliced onions, halved tomatoes, red pepper, sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, basil, eggs, milk/amasi, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk the mixture until well combined.

Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the muffin cups and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and thoroughly cooked. Allow the muffins to cool in the oven before removing them to prevent breakage.
