The big feast is behind us, but there are still hungry houseguests to feed. Treat your company to a homemade brunch, from an elegant spinach and cheese strata to muffins bursting with fresh blueberries.
This elegant brunch strata -- really a savory bread pudding with spinach, cheese and cubes of bread baked in custard -- is ideal for entertaining. You do all of the preparation the night before and then let it rest in the fridge overnight. The next morning you simply turn the oven on, place the strata in, and effortlessly wait for brunch to emerge. GET THE RECIPE
Tender and sweet-scented with a gorgeous ribbon of melted chocolate running through it, this quick bread is fun to make. You spoon the banana and chocolate batters into a loaf pan alternately, and then artistically swirl the two together with a knife. GET THE RECIPE
