Delicious Father’s Day Brunch Ideas

Father's Day is the ideal time to appreciate the fathers in our lives. One way you can do that is to make a homemade brunch with all of his favorite foods. With the use of a powerful blender like a Blendtec, the process becomes faster and more efficient, and you can prepare multiple tasty recipes easily.

We’ll be looking at a series of Father's Day brunch recipes that utilize the blender. From the well-known eggs Benedict with silky hollandaise sauce to light and airy waffles and breakfast casseroles, the following recipes are made to dazzle without having you stuck in the kitchen all morning. Let's get started with these delectable dishes that will make the day special for Dad.

Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict is a beloved brunch classic made with toasted English muffins, flavorful Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. Traditionally, preparing hollandaise can be a bit tricky, as it requires careful whisking over a double boiler to avoid curdling the eggs. But with a blender, the process becomes much simpler. You can whip up a velvety, smooth sauce in just a few minutes.

To make blender hollandaise sauce, all you need are egg yolks, lemon juice, melted butter, a pinch of salt, and a little cayenne pepper for added spice. Start by placing the egg yolks and lemon juice in your blender and blend for about 30 seconds, until the mixture becomes lighter in color. Then, with the blender running on low, slowly pour in the hot, melted butter. This gradual addition allows the sauce to emulsify, creating a thick, creamy texture. Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste, and your sauce is ready to go.

To put the dish together, toast the English muffins and top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon. Poach your eggs to your preferred doneness and place one on each muffin half. Pour the warm hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs and garnish with chopped parsley or chives. This method saves time and ensures consistent, delicious results, making your Father’s Day brunch both elegant and easy.

Savory Breakfast Casserole

A breakfast casserole, also known as a frittata, is a hearty and filling option that’s ideal for a Father’s Day brunch. It’s highly adaptable and can be tailored with Dad’s favorite ingredients, turning it into a personalized and flavorful way to kick off his celebration.

To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet, cook breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly, then remove and set it aside. Using the same skillet, sauté chopped onions and bell peppers until soft, as they add a delicious base layer of flavor.
In your Blendtec blender, add eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, and blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This ensures a light and even texture throughout the dish.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and begin layering frozen hash browns, the cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheddar cheese. For extra flavor, consider adding small scoops of ricotta and some crumbled feta. Pour the blended egg mixture over everything, making sure it spreads evenly.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the eggs are firm and the top has turned golden. Let the dish sit for a few minutes before slicing. You can prep this casserole the night before and refrigerate it, making brunch prep the next morning simple and stress-free.

Fluffy Blender Waffles

Waffles are a beloved brunch staple and one of the best Father’s Day brunch dishes you can whip up for dad’s day. With a Blendtec blender, making the batter is quick and effortless. These waffles cook up crisp on the outside and soft and airy on the inside—just how Dad likes them.

To make the batter, blend together eggs, whole milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a little brown sugar. Then add flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything until smooth and completely lump-free. The Blendtec’s powerful motor makes sure the mixture is perfectly combined in no time.

Once your waffle iron is preheated, pour in the batter and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crispy. Serve them with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. For a fun twist, spread cream cheese or peanut butter between two waffles to create a sweet sandwich.

You can also customize the batter by mixing in chocolate chips or a dash of cinnamon. Add some scrambled eggs and hash browns on the side, and you’ve got a well-rounded brunch. These fluffy waffles are a must for making your Father’s Day breakfast extra special.

Brunch-Worthy Blender Drinks

No brunch is complete for Father's Day without a couple of tasty beverages to sip. Whether you have your heart set on something light and refreshing or something more decadent, your Blendtec blender can assist you in blending the perfect drink in an instant.

Bloody Mary

Begin with a classic Bloody Mary. In your blender, blend tomato juice with a splash of pickle brine, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, black pepper, and a dash of celery salt. Blend until smooth, then serve over ice with toppings such as celery, olives, and bacon.

High Protein Breakfast Smoothie

If the father of the house likes something sweet, a breakfast smoothie is a convenient and quick way to go. Mix Greek yogurt, a banana, frozen berries, a spoonful of peanut butter, and a dash of milk. Add a scoop of protein powder for additional protein. It's yummy, satisfying, and oh so fast. Blendtec has a huge collection of delicious, high-protein smoothies that you can try, along with this one. 

Iced Mocha

For a coffeehouse-quality beverage, make a homemade iced mocha. Mix together cold brewed coffee, whole milk, a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and ice. Add sweetener as desired. The creamy, chocolatey beverage is a perfect way to cool off when you sit down to enjoy your favorite brunch specials. For a frozen version of this drink, try making our Blender Mocha Frappé recipe.

Make-Ahead Ideas for a Hassle-Free Morning

Father's Day is not a day for fretting over the stovetop last minute. With a little advance preparation and the assistance of your Blendtec blender, you can prepare an entire brunch in advance and focus on Dad during his special day. Simple procedures like these allow you to concentrate on the dad and still prepare a brunch to be remembered:
Eggs Benedict: Begin by making your hollandaise sauce a day ahead of time and refrigerate it. To serve it, simply reheat lightly over low heat or with a water bath and whisk to awaken it. You will then have silky, smooth sauce to serve over poached eggs without having to do any prep in the morning.

Breakfast Casserole: When you are preparing a breakfast casserole or quiche, combine the egg mixture the night before and refrigerate it in your baking dish. Cover it and refrigerate, baking it when you rise and shine the following morning. The flavors will have a chance to sit overnight, and you'll only have to pop it in the oven and serve.

Smoothies: Prep your blended drink or smoothie ingredients by packaging them in freezer bags. Simply dump one in the blender in the morning with a little water or other desired liquid and blend. It is quicker and it stays cold and fresh.
