Tradition calls to celebrate Mother's Day with breakfast in bed, but here in the South, we have other plans. Why bombard her early in the morning when you can prepare an elegant Mother's Day brunch and let her take her time? We're talking the whole nine yards: Pretty tablescapes and floral arrangements, dresses and pearls, a pitcher of sweet tea and, of course, a stellar brunch spread that rivals anything Mama could've whipped up.
Mother's Day is a chance to celebrate all of the hard work our mothers do every day. This Mother's Day, get Mama out of the kitchen and prepare a special brunch to honor the woman who does it all.

This rustic, veggie-filled quiche is a fitting choice for a springtime brunch. The braided crust is sure to charm mom (even though we used store-bought pie crusts for ease.) Set this quiche on the table with a vase of flowers and a spring salad, and Mother's Day is complete.
Spring Vegetable Frittata

For any special occasion, a frittata will have your back. It's a stunning dish that's fancy and delicious yet oh-so easy to throw together. This one sings with all the best flavors of the season and as much feta cheese as your heart desires.

Buttery croissants take this breakfast casserole to the next level. You'll want to prepare the casserole the night before so that the rich egg-and-cream mixture has time to soak in. This is topped with shredded Gruyère cheese, which turns golden brown and imparts a lovely, nutty flavor.
Southern Living Bloody Mary
![Southern Living Bloody Mary](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/7Mvdz4fm97Ha8lJwoohuW_Xl54E=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/southern_living_bloody_mary_2503701_south22817_0_0_0-1-ff303790b5f04d6ca4c6eae296724a96.jpg)
Our take on a quintessential brunch sipper is positively bursting with flavor. This Bloody Mary features the classic combination of tomato juice and vodka, but if Mama is more of tequila lady, we've got a recipe for that too. Don't forget to lay it on thick with all of her favorite garnishes and a bacon-salt rim for the occasion.
Orange Rolls
![Southern Living Orange Rolls in the dish to serve](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/w0ZeEgDSjG98O0A4cmoshtXiXMg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Orange-Rolls-Beauty1-Audit7024_3594-f16ab754a9fe4295afebc0fbaf13088a.jpg)

Sweeten the day with these gooey rolls with a hint of cinnamon and a sweet orange marmalade center. The glaze is flavored with orange extract for full, fruity flavor. Though they need a couple of hours to rise, you can start these Orange Rolls in the morning and serve them still warm from the oven.

![Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/RQG-B3t0xIcXAOFwRstnI3nG65k=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/cinnamon_casserole_slow_cooker_seo_holiday_recipes_017_1_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0-32f364d25fa6431f9c501df4edce6e1d.jpg)

Mild pork sausage, green peppers, and sharp Cheddar cheese partner with creamy egg custard in this easy quiche recipe. You can follow the recipe precisely or feel free to riff—try bacon or chorizo, fresh spinach and mushrooms, or goat cheese instead.
Zucchini Bread Pancakes
![Zucchini Bread Pancakes](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/ug-KnYPi37gRbYJH1JJhRpEOD9w=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/27102_OE_ZucchiniPC_0658-2000-badbad6625f54b0b907b461942657e68.jpg)
If you can turn layer cakes into pancakes, why not make a beloved quick bread into a pancake, too? These pancakes capture the delicately spiced flavor of zucchini bread and are every bit as moist and tender. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and a mixture of maple syrup and mascarpone cheese for an unforgettable treat.
Sheet Pan Berry Pancakes with Honey-Butter Syrup

Treat mom to a slice of this indulgent, cinnamon-swirled coffee cake topped with a divinely sweet and crunchy streusel. The secret ingredient? Sour cream. Bake the cake all the way through for a light and tender crumb or cut the bake time short for an ooey-gooey center.
Easy Huevos Rancheros Bake
![Huevos Rancheros Bake](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/xCRSA26IVdKyxdTOQ4lI8M17dL0=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2598001_hospihuevos_rancheros_153_0_0_0_1-3c5e45bb0e384d6ca966ca2b4cc86525.jpg)
Crowned with gleaming fried eggs, this simple corn tostada bake is a show-stopper. First, layer the tostadas, beans, enchilada sauce, and cheeses for baking. Fry the eggs separately and slide them on top, then garnish with avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeño.
Coffee Cake Muffins
![Southern Living Coffee Cake Muffins on a plate with a cup of coffee to serve](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/afV_pz5CiC3NTKw6Oye5G-vDFDU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Coffee_Cake_Muffins_019-259600b4f6d6478eab1237136ded618c.jpg)
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
These coffee cake-inspired muffins are magic on their own, but if you're looking to get creative you can add in chocolate chips or blueberries too. The sweet pecan streusel is added for the final 10 minutes of baking. Serve them as an opener before the main dish, along with fresh-brewed coffee or a selection of herbal teas.
Biscuits-and-Gravy Skillet
![Biscuits-and-Gravy Skillet](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/-PTHpFaVkfW3sw_VqiOVV9RWyuw=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/breakfast-casseroles-2488001_break_biscuits_gravy029_highres_0_1_0_1_1-2000-003de9e567654bcb9075b7977d1b1b43.jpg)
We gave the South's favorite breakfast a big-batch upgrade with the help of a cast-iron skillet. The sausage and gravy mixture is prepared in the pan, then topped with frozen biscuits arranged attractively in a circle. Bake until you have golden brown biscuits with rich and savory gravy bubbling beneath.

Capture the flavors of New Orleans' famous dessert in an adorable, bite-sized sticky bun. This easy, time-saving recipe uses refrigerated crescent roll dough, filled with slightly caramelized, rum-soaked bananas. Treat this as an appetizer before your breakfast casserole or as a dessert after.

![Shrimp and Grits Casserole](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/RPJp7aC5EjdebTwFPhwvHoMCFsg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2598001_hospishrimp_grits_casserole_110_0_0_0_0_0_1_1_1_1-30563872c3d343db9bcfec84996a3456.jpg)

Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls
![Biscuit Cinnamon Sweet Rolls](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/3IHadbYYdwoj7UNwlRP6n_S8dBM=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/biscuit-cinnamon-sweet-rolls_1_0-2000-a8f2d752a0b94933b3b2827f95cdfb3f.jpg)
Combine Mama's two favorite things—biscuits and cinnamon rolls—into one satisfying pastry. This recipe involves making homemade biscuits, but the lack of yeast makes them quicker to prepare than traditional cinnamon rolls. The three-ingredient Creamy Glaze also is a breeze to prepare.
Carrot Cake Muffins
![Carrot Cake Muffins](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/F4dHwiXYWePeU3MXw6CrD_hvNRE=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/IMG_8865-2000-f3984aad85b34910ae0ae74644a88099.jpg)
These lightly spiced muffins scale back on the sugar. They get their sweetness from molasses, raisins, and a dusting of powdered sugar. During baking, the shredded carrot and coconut become tender and chewy.
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
![Cinnamon Roll Pancakes](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/u2cbytrw2q-cRO_Z4Im9bJFaKL4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/seo_holiday_recipes_009_cinnamon_roll_pancakes__0_1-1-26137c0f0eec4bf38158cbb7ced1b144.jpg)
There's nothing like a special occasion to inspire us to combine the best of both worlds. Here, cinnamon rolls and pancakes combine to create a brown-sugar, cinnamon flavor bomb that mom is sure to love. You can drizzle these with cinnamon roll icing or maple syrup.
Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Casserole
![Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Casserole](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/o33HPkGY84ZDOOBuyNX8cWasGB8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/easter-brunch-breakfast-casseroles-2488001_break_tater_tot173_highres-1-b211425852e848f4ae3bf265334ee9c8.jpg)
With this recipe, you can do your flipping ahead of time and serve up warm, cinnamony pancakes to your guests all at once. Feel free to swap out blueberries for any berry of your choice to add color to this creative casserole. We like to heat the maple syrup and butter together to pour over these pancakes.
Sparkling Punch
![Sparkling Punch](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/c0XlbVRUVX3LuThSMsEGHUDitn4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/sparkling_punch_761f9392dfa1b7c1_0-6da08a13d0f144fe92e648d0cebc8b79.jpg)
Pretty enough for a party, this Sparkling Punch doesn't call for any alcohol. But if mom is in the mood to celebrate, simply add a dash of champagne. Pink lemonade and white cranberry juice provide pink color and sweet-tart flavor.
Asparagus-and-Goat Cheese Quiche
![Asparagus-and-Goat Cheese Quiche](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/ThGXEB-DKird2OA9C18XH0zkg_E=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2511001_wcibq_12624_0_0_1_0-b3a7b0197fd84ea6b74487850281f473.jpg)
Use asparagus spears that aren’t too thick for the quiche filling. Bake in a fluted tart pan to elevate the purchased pie crust. Make this up to two days in advance so you can spend time with mom instead of in the kitchen.
Sausage-Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole
![Southern Living Sausage Hash Brown Casserole in the dish with a serving taken out and two glasses of orange juice](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/I4sw5AuWSREi6Tk_Oah1_q88Epg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Southern-Living-Sausage-Hash-Brown-Breakfast-Casserole55-1-48bd3dcadca5487f964055d661cccd6e.jpg)

Crumbly sausage meets crispy hash browns in your family's new favorite breakfast casserole. After all, the simple flavors of potato, sausage, and cheese are what we love about breakfast. Sprinkle with parsley and chives to dress up this dish.
Asparagus Frittata
![Asparagus Frittata](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/rNy1SVztzibsK1lSjjiXrNBnTd0=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SL_SEO25_AsparagusFrittata_005_preview-0faeb656400249afa88579d99835476d.jpg)
Thanks to mascarpone cheese, this will be the lightest, creamiest, and fluffiest frittata recipe you've ever made. The asparagus is laid on top, allowing your creative juices to flow while you arrange the spears. Sprinkle with dill or chives after baking.
Buttermilk Breakfast Scones

Crisp, sugar-crusted tops and currants plumped in buttermilk make these scones a winner on mom's big day. We use a bit of orange zest in this recipe to brighten the flavor. Scones are equally popular for an early morning breakfast or an afternoon brunch.
Snickerdoodle Doughnut Hole Muffins
![Snickerdoodle Doughnut Hole Muffins](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/LEdQ-ayUbK0avGrlve9OgBx98Ls=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/snickerdoodle_doughnut_hole_muffins_2488102_438_0-b868625dd12a4037b0b3d045bb64391f.jpg)
These cute-as-can-be doughnut poppers are rolled in cinnamon and sugar for the flavor of a snickerdoodle cookie. Plus, they're as easy to prepare as a mini muffin. However you classify this recipe, it makes a delectable treat for the brunch table.

For a brunch that truly blends breakfast and lunch, these fried chicken sliders are the ultimate indulgence. Place piping hot fried chicken on a flaky buttermilk biscuit and drizzle with honey. Serve with sweet tea or a soft drink.
Cheesy Ham, Corn, and Grits Bake
![Cheesy Ham, Corn, and Grits Bake](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/cyfPZbA8IRQLBA7LXAYsGlfxxag=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/cheesy-ham-corn-grits-bak2475501-093_0_0_0_0_1-a7ef3c0c8e2341d487f8ca703e0d075f.jpg)
It isn't a Southern brunch without a big pot of grits—why not make an extra-indulgent side out of it with ham and corn? This easy twist on a soufflé uses yellow stone-ground grits and two types of Cheddar cheese, baked up puffy and golden with pockets of corn and cubed ham throughout.
Fried Skillet Potatoes
![Fried Skillet Potatoes](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/op_T0UKWFjUshCASEULuSrzkozQ=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/seo_skillet_potato_013_0_0_0-20026615b93f4178b44c2a423921e203.jpg)
Diced and cooked to a crisp in a skillet, these breakfast potatoes might just outshine the eggs. A blend of garlic, onion, and chili powder cooks along with the potatoes for warm, toasty flavor. Season with salt and garnish with flat-leaf parsley after cooking.
Sausage-Potato Frittata Recipe
![Sausage-Potato Frittata](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/X4YXZsiT4aqS0ImrowZjhl0PYBM=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/sausage-potato-frittata-2501001-002s_0_0_0_0_0-dc7d0debd80e48509367e6d97f96c4d5.jpg)
Layers of egg, sausage, veggies, and herbs make this frittata incredibly savory and just the right amount of smoky. Use a generous hand when adding shredded Monterey Jack cheese for a delightfully gooey topping to your occasion-worthy dish.
Baked Oatmeal

This cinnamon-spiced baked oatmeal has the texture of a bread pudding and tastes somewhere between homemade oatmeal cookies and a warm hug. The wholesome recipe has less sugar than an oatmeal bar and features healthy ingredients like apples, pecans, and raisins (feel free to use seasonal fruit and whatever nuts you have in the pantry).
Country Ham Hash
![Country Ham Hash](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/zkFaYRTfpwbfvcv6dWa8WGYc4yU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2546501_makea_3064_0_1_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0-f989d4fbfe5e427f94209d580b3b5e01.jpg)
Any good brunch spread needs ample sides, and this Country Ham Hash is our go-to for good reason. Bell peppers, onions, potatoes, and fresh rosemary emit a heavenly smell while cooking on the stove. Much as we love the condiment, you won't need ketchup with so much incredible flavor.
Biscuit-Bowl Biscuits
![Biscuit-Bowl Biscuits](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/IeGY6gLWxvptBOnP6x3LodJJmqA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/27104_HY_biscuits_0190-2000-33febf3521154412a7423dfa9305b4f1.jpg)

An almost-stale loaf of French bread gets a new lease on life in this utterly decadent Cinnamon-Pecan Breakfast Bread Pudding. Prepare the recipe the night before in your slow cooker and stick the insert in the fridge. In the morning, add the crunchy pecan topping and cook for about four hours until set.

Wow mom with this French classic that tastes as lovely as it looks. Quiche Lorraine is a brunch all-star due to its buttery crust, eggs, Swiss cheese, and bacon. Use a refrigerated pie crust to keep things simple.
Blueberry-Cornmeal Cake

This cake can double as breakfast or dessert, making it an apt choice for a Mother's Day brunch. The batter has less sugar than many cakes and gets a bit of tartness from the lemon zest and buttermilk. The blueberries cook until moist, plump, and bursting with jammy flavor.
Glazed Buttermilk Donut Cake
![Southern Living Glazed Buttermilk Donut Cake sliced on a platter to serve](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/gEfNFhhbfCauzbLNX4khULtMV4c=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Southern-Living-GlazedButtermilkDonutCake_TK-00093-ae833615247348be93b7f1a9b89c9ebd.jpg)

This oversized "donut" combines the flavor of our favorite breakfast pastry with the richness of a pound cake. Baked in a Bundt pan, the leavening gives the dessert a cracked appearance similar to an old-fashioned donut. We use a simple glaze of powdered sugar and water, but you can make it more fun with colored sprinkles, chopped nuts, or toasted coconut.
Fresh Fruit Salad
![Fresh Fruit Salad](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/0IcVlbuY91QGfaikMVNBmFK2zDk=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/sldigi_fruitsalad58_0_0_1_0_0_0_0_0_0_1-f8f3495aa9194dbd932fee8862d890b8.jpg)
This simple side is easy to throw together and adds a pop of freshness to your brunch spread. Mix the berries, scooped melon balls, and orange slices with orange juice and honey for tangy sweetness. Adorn the top of the fruit salad with chopped mint leaves for another dose of bright, fresh flavor.

Achieve the delicate, buttery flavor of Eggs Benedict without the difficulties of poaching eggs and whisking hollandaise sauce.

This sophisticated dish (also known as Oeufs Cocotte) may look fancy, but all it really takes is a few ramekins, eggs, and heavy whipping cream. Since the eggs are cooked in individual servings, this is the ideal dish for a build-your-own brunch bar. Try bacon and Cheddar, feta and parsley, or fresh herbs and Parmesan.
Goldenrod Eggs
![Goldenrod Eggs](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/9xbO1-R27odRYq3BPXL3ScN3LUQ=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Goldenrod-Eggs-1-2000-cc05b5c4b568489b85cf4b67788f7a2c.jpg)
Brighten mom's day with this cheery dish that makes use of half a dozen hard-boiled eggs. The shaved egg yolks look like a dusting of pollen when sprinkled on creamed egg whites served over toast. Feel free to add herbs, onions, or hot sauce, depending on your taste.

These gorgeous puff-pastry tarts pair salty bacon with perfectly cooked, sunny-side-up eggs (just cook them longer if you don't like a runny yolk). Plum tomatoes add a pop of color, while the crumbled goat cheese adds creaminess—it all comes together for one impressive pastry.
Spring-Vegetable Sheet Pan Quiche
![Southern Living Spring-Vegetable Sheet Pan Quiche in pan with a serving on a plate beside](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/xJA7NZ324AL6-ZDIOjHjA9T9kSI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Southern-Living_27388_OE_Quiche_19888-96855e8ba2764d23a8cb00ee70975019.jpg)
Victor Protasio; Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn; Prop Stylist: Christine Keely
Starring the season's most stellar produce like asparagus and spinach, this quiche is as herbaceous as it is easy, thanks to its smart sheet pan method. Using a premade pie crust and baking in a sheet pan lends itself to ease, but it also increases the delicious ratio of crust to filling.
Creamy Egg Strata
![Creamy Egg Strata](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/hCN7OLTKs-i7hiltdukdRHHzP0k=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/creamy_egg_strata_2041202_south1855-1-b862333c0b6b4b91849e24d096f88104.jpg)
Our Creamy Egg Strata is an unforgettable, bread-pudding-like dish that's worth whipping out on special occasions. Cubes of French bread soak up all the savory goodness of broth, white wine, garlic, and onions, then bake in an eggy Swiss cheese mixture. This filling breakfast casserole is at home with a side of breakfast sausage or a salad.
Cheesy Sausage, Egg, and Hash Brown Casserole
![Cheesy Sausage, Egg, and Hash Brown Casserole](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/CALQdrHxhHYW9I7nn5kLqRBbjYU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2685001_OEBre_0480-2000-38513b618e8843d69e0e5e0fc13ac64a.jpg)
This one-dish casserole feeds a crowd but doesn’t take all day in the kitchen. Use refrigerated potatoes so you can skip the thawing process. Poblano pepper gives this filling breakfast a little kick.
Mini Cheese Grits Casseroles
![Mini Cheese Grits Casseroles](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/FtWcuKRDSU2wFdkyU841kwtvwHQ=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2536101_easte_0533_1_0_0_0_0-7fec2d6a359449f5984f3fa76f71c7aa.jpg)

Peach Bellini
![Peach Bellini](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/KaOUN5FdrxBfI8RbbCiBgC-0NEs=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Bellini-1-2000-3a12437d49bd44ceac3c3818b40beeb4.jpg)
If Mama prefers a peach-gilled bellini to a citrus juice mimosa, then we've got you covered. These brunch-worthy cocktails can be made with fresh or frozen peaches that are best prepared a day before topping with sparkling wine.
Ham Biscuits
![Ham Biscuits on white plate with cups of orange juice - Southern Living](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/MIMO7dReFiVt_TiyTeQo17krzY0=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Ham-Buttermilk-Biscuits_Audit7666_beauty-55-db3b3ad84a5c4088a09ead88c57a89d6.jpg)
Morgan Hunt Glaze; Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen; Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey
Classic buttermilk biscuits make a tasty base for country ham as well as our Creole Mayonnaise or any compound butter, cheese spread, or jam. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter so your guests can try an assortment of sandwiches. Any way you slice it, these biscuits are melt-in-your-mouth good.
Banana Bread French Toast Casserole
![Banana Bread French Toast Casserole](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/jBkww2YGKEd7pdjGUe4Kv0CPU34=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/breakfast-casseroles-2488001_break_tater_tot130_highres_1_0-2000-143bbfcdf2924ba09e19e0f81f3bab45.jpg)
This incredibly moist and rich banana bread could stand on its own, but we've made it so much more. We've soaked the slices in a cinnamony custard, baked them until lightly browned, and topped them with bananas and honey. You can bake the bread and even prepare the casserole the night before.
Cornmeal Crêpes with Blackberries and Buttermilk Cream
![cornmeal crepes with blackberry sauce](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/H87IYTaqoIWULDG_i5lQxMDuhJs=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2628801_Cornmeal-Crepes_21869-eb8e577a90f7437788dca5b328ec0b4c.jpg)
Greg Dupree; Prop Styling: Heather Chadduck Hillegas; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall
Making crepes is easier than you think and they cook quickly, so have ingredients and tools ready before you begin. A nonstick pan is key. Serve any extra blackberry compote over ice cream, cake, or yogurt.
Grapefruit-Rosemary Mimosas
![Grapefruit-rosemary Mimosas](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/EBjd34kh3_3WFeUKjWNsD-thad8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/grapefruit-rosemary-mimosa-cucumber-jalapeno-gin-cooler-4086202_0-2000-448917c98e214053b4b9d54e3fb02241.jpg)

Strawberry Crepes
![strawberry crêpes](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/ty8wOyuGfvyJc17suOyDHx357WU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SEO_Batch37_StrawBerryCrepes_42551-014f6ab5b3444cc9b52b03e08ae06d99.jpg)
These crepes lightly brown in a half teaspoon of butter, then get topped with Honeyed Strawberries and whipped cream for sweetness. Add a touch of Lillet Blanc to the fruit for a French twist.
Spring Salad with Berries and Bacon
![Spring Salad with Berries and Bacon](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/2OCNCqbby5w7Aidv1kAU-DzDDDI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2646101_HospStrawberries0017-3-2000-a791e6b104ad4c14845fe8d0bb7ef458.jpg)
Nothing says Mother's Day like spring greens tossed with a generous helping of strawberries. We boost the flavor even more with a strawberry honey-mustard vinaigrette. This colorful salad can become an entree with the addition of rotisserie chicken or whole grains.
Elderflower-Champagne Cocktail
![Elderflower-Champagne Cocktail with flower ice cubes](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/k7g8WlINlfMZPk0yS2A57meOF40=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2648101_LetsC_0109-2000-450a3ccf41944450975c2bcb9c14ad60.jpg)
Take the traditional Mother's Day bouquet to another level with this beautiful and fragrant cocktail.

The cocktail itself is very simple, requiring just three ingredients.

Antonis Achilleos; Prop Stylist: Lydia Purcell; Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn
A Dutch baby doesn’t require the attention it takes to make pancakes since there’s no flipping involved. The crisp exterior and custardy interior satisfy. Try the other flavor variations for chocolate-orange and chocolate-cherry-almond included in the recipe.
Southern Salmon Benedict
![Southern Salmon Benedict](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/qxO-g3T1zKv9rLBvtryomplZV9g=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/27047Suppertime_Eggs_0477_Crop-2000-fe42dd849acc4b118ee2bf77d8ee216d.jpg)
Our Southern Salmon Benedict has the classic flavors of eggs Benedict, but with a Southern flair from biscuits and pickled okra. The okra gives a nice acidic edge to the smoked salmon and buttery hollandaise sauce. Making hollandaise requires a bit of care, showing Mama how much she means to you.
Tea Cakes
![Tea Cakes](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/84rPP4Za-vqWXjmKF5gkAOxt-sI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/567c866e-37c9-49f1-9b92-03597b722803-886071d7bd474c49af6cba1b6defb06e.png)
Old-fashioned tea cakes are more like a cookie than a cake, but you'll enjoy the simplicity of these very tender and mildly sweet treats no matter the name. We've added lemon zest for a hint of citrus—vanilla or cinnamon are also options. Break out your best tea set to make these cakes extra special.
Chocolate Chip Pancake Bake with Cinnamon-Pecan Streusel
![Chocolate Chip Pancake Bake with Cinnamon-Pecan Streusel](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/Rosl6BpQen32dj0IgUYbuUmcQW4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2641701_Break84_4x3-1-2000-9f242d98e6834c6b8c09accc2c814eec.jpg)
This breakfast casserole should be prepared the night before, but every chocolatey bite makes the advance planning worth it. The chocolate chip pancakes can actually be made up to two months ahead of time and frozen. They are baked in a custard and topped with streusel and yet more chocolate before getting drizzled in syrup—the very definition of indulgent.
Bacon Cheddar Scones
![Bacon Cheddar Scones](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/nE0pq8o4tuY_ZGcJRfuWNK3x06I=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SL.com-bacon-scones-2000-2f9879303b524e83ba0034b8ed2cd2ad.jpg)
If mom prefers a savory breakfast over sweet, these scones studded with crispy bacon, savory scallions, and sharp Cheddar will do the trick. An egg gives them a loftier texture than many scones, which tend to be heavy. Dollop with real whipped butter and serve alongside a fruit salad to complete the meal.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Skillet Coffee Cake
![Strawberry-Rhubarb Skillet Coffee Cake](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/vc9KGheLUWvUp2YG8_8BN3tcimU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2660101_OESki_0047-2000-f26a2970156f454aafa1a5f4619deed3.jpg)
Spring produce shines in this buttery, crumb-topped coffee cake with a ribbon of strawberry-rhubarb filling. Coat the fruit in sugar and allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then remove the excess liquid to keep the sweet and tangy cake from growing soggy. You'll appreciate the crispy golden-brown crust the skillet creates in this cast-iron dessert.
Crab Pie

We've incorporated all the sweet, citrusy flavor of lemon-poppy seed muffins in a light and airy waffle. Then we whipped up Blackberry Maple Syrup with a hint of lemon juice to pour over top. Garnish with fresh blackberries and crème fraîche for the final touch.
Ham-and-Cheese Puff Pastries
![Ham-and-Cheese Puff Pastries](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/i7vueEhOv6xVvy3HZVovD53KYyU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/26781_OE_HamandCheesePuffPastry_0367-2000-48cbf208f4ac41688d22e625b1ed7b4e.jpg)
These fancy-looking pastries belie how simple the recipe is. Fill a thawed puff pastry with ham, Gruyère, and honey mustard, brush with an egg wash, and bake. In about 30 minutes, you'll have a delicious, flaky brown main dish or a side for scrambled eggs.
Mini Hash Brown Frittatas

These poppable breakfast bites wrap every savory breakfast ingredient into one package. Begin by baking a crust of hash browns in a muffin pan, then fill the base with spinach, onions, eggs, tomatoes, and cheese. You'll enjoy a full breakfast with every crispy, cheesy bite.
Cherry Turnovers
![Cherry Turnovers](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/xVke3shoNRXMjkUDWzyrAcxtNbs=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Cherry-Turnovers-2000-a96e80c782cb442fb225501c8e7b6c4b.jpg)
The secret to the mouthwatering cherry gel in this flaky pastry is a drop of almond extract, which accentuates the flavor. The recipe calls for cooking the cherries over the stove until the fruit begins to break down and develop the perfect consistency. Then bake in store-bought puff pastry dough and drizzle with glaze for a real treat.
Raspberry-Almond Muffins with Honey Butter
![Raspberry-Almond Muffins with Honey Butter](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/kgphXYP203BBba_DEGk-67dWw5k=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2669301_OEHon_0318-2000-05be9b15db1743878b382399e9865b45.jpg)
These muffins feature nutty almond flour and crushed raspberries that taste amazing with every bite, but the whole raspberries and sliced almonds on top really add charm. Serve with butter mixed with honey and a pinch of salt, or try a more flavorful spread like the included recipes for Chai or Orange-Vanilla Honey Butter.
New Orleans Beignets
![New Orleans Beignets - Southern Living](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/nzyuG90AxhEgHL6rXSmFh2dshYU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/New-Orleans-Beignets_Audit7666_Step01-5-68e6e2e062df48f99d5b9a4d326927ed.jpg)
Morgan Hunt Glaze; Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen; Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey
Transport mom to the Big Easy with sweet, crispy beignets dusted in powdered sugar. The yeasty dough should be made at least four hours in advance (24 hours is totally acceptable). But you'll want to fry them right before serving so you can eat the puffy pastries while steaming hot.
Overnight French Toast Casserole with Bourbon-Maple Syrup

The Bourbon-Maple Syrup is the crowning glory of this easy overnight casserole. Assemble in advance, then pop the dish in the oven and savor the warm and spicy smells while it bakes. Use a good baguette and real maple syrup in honor of the occasion.
