Relish Recipes — Breakfasts

This recipe for Challah French Toast with Mascarpone and Berries promises a morning filled with delight and indulgence. Thick cut and custard-soaked challah is toasted to a perfect golden crust, then topped with quick, macerated berries, creamy whipped mascarpone, and crunchy pistachios. Perfect for lazy Sundays, family breakfasts, or a festive brunch spread, this recipe elevates the classic French toast into a craveable picture worthy dish!

For many years, chef and business own Dana Shortt was a valued colleague as well as Relish fan. Early on in our Relish journey, Dana came and taught a class based on some of her favourite Ina Garten recipes. This simple breakfast parfait was a hit with the class and showed how easy, simple entertaining could be. Dana, of course made everything look Tik Tok worthy even before the TT days! We are pleased to be carrying the Dana Shortt Gourmet Fruit and Nut Granola on our store shelf this holiday season. It's a great addition to the breakfast table if you have holiday guests.

We’ve added bright green asparagus and smoked salmon for a spring twist!

If you’re on breakfast duty, these sheet pan omelets are unbeatable for their ease of preparation. Omelets are hearty and filling, but standing over a stove making individual omelets probably isn’t how you want to spend a gorgeous morning at the lake—especially when everyone rolls out of bed at different times. You can serve these alongside bacon and home fries, but for my money, they make the perfect filling for a build-your-own breakfast sandwich bar! (From The Essential Cottage Cookbook by Andrea Buckett, Appetite by Random House, 2025)

This Chinese five spice cake is brimming with a delicious blend of aromatic spices and grated apples all topped with rich and creamy ginger frosting! It's the perfect mid-afternoon snack or to even serve to guests.
