I love to host! I really enjoy having friends over,  great cocktails, and sharing love via homemade treats. Everyone knows every couple of months they will get an random invite to come over for dinner or brunch. Everyone understands there will be an abundance of food, good music, and great conversation.

My last “Avec Amour” fete was a brunch. I have learned the art of not making everything and trying one new special treat to keep it interesting. Brunch for me usually consists of an egg dish, meat, potatoes, fruit, salad, and a sweet treat.  My friends were asking in advance if I was making my famous “French Toast Bake.” That bake was so well loved at my housewarming, which was themed Breakfast at Tiffany’s that  I sent the recipe out on my thank you cards.  This time around I utilized the Magnolia Table Cookbook for my sweet treat inspiration. I was in the mood to pull out my All Clad griddle, which is amazing and a worthy investment.

The ricotta pancakes looked simple and were intriguing. They were incredibly easy to make. I mixed the dry ingredients and wet ingredients in a separate bowl, I slowly combined, and scooped the batter onto my hot griddle.

I was impressed that they cooked evenly and quickly. The batter yielded over a dozen pancakes and were delicious. They were not overly sweet but that meant they were the perfect conduit for salted butter and real maple syrup. They would also be good with homemade jam or any variety of nut butter. I have to admit I really enjoyed these, as they were simple, tasty, and fancy. These will definitely be on the list for future Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

What is your “go to” breakfast/brunch item(s)?

Avec Amour,
