I might seem like a nice person. But I gave my mother hell when I was a teenager. So as an adult, I treat her very, very well. Here are the top Mother’s Day breakfasts that I’ve served up to her over the years. Always with a smile, sweet as an angel. A brat? Who me?? 😇

Mother’s Day recipes for breakfast
1. Blueberry Pancakes
Classic pancakes are good, BUT if you want to shoot straight to the top of her Favourite Child list, go all out and make her BLUEBERRY pancakes…
2. Classic Pancakes
But you don’t have blueberries? Don’t worry! These soft and fluffy pancakes are SO GOOD, they’re guaranteed to kickstart her day the right way. Want to go all out? Add crispy bacon! Sweet-savoury is all the rage right now.
3. Scones
Make it the classic way, with butter rubbed into flour, or the quick way – Lemonade Scones! (And no, they don’t taste like lemonade.) Whichever you choose, jam and cream are mandatory. You’ll make your mum cry if you forget them!!
Get the recipe – Classic Scones or quick Lemonade Scones
4. French Toast
It almost seems wrong that we get to use a few sad pieces of stale bread to make mum an amazing breakfast….It’s also so wrong when I pay $15 for French toast at trendy bistros!
5. Omelette
If your mum is like mine and has more of a savoury rather than sweet tooth, make her a big fluffy omelette. My favourite – filled with garlic mushrooms and a little sprinkle of cheese. SO GOOD! (Errr – I’m sure mum would like it too 😂)
6. Quiche
If you want to aim high and impress the pants off your mum with your amazing culinary prowess, make her a QUICHE! (But actually, homemade quiche crust is super easy to make with a food processor). Fabulous for breakfast, brunch or lunch, and you can fill with anything (just replace my add ins with yours)
Get the recipe – Quiche Lorraine or Salmon Quiche
7. Mini Quiche
If you like variety – oops, I mean, if your MUM likes variety – make mini quiche. They’re really easy if you use store bought pastry, which I do in this recipe. I’ve shared 4 different fillings, a mix of vegetarian and meat free. One bite babies!
8. Frittata
If the thought of dealing with crust is just all too hard, make her a Frittata instead. This baked frittata is super easy – anything goes, pour it all in a pan and bake. It’s basically a crustless quiche. Bonus: It freezes perfectly.

(More options – Bacon and Egg Frittata, Spanish Potato Frittata and Frittata Muffins)
9. Sausage & Egg McMuffin
There is a very high prospect that this will be the RecipeTin Family Mother’s Day breakfast. It’s a long standing family tradition.
Sometimes it’s bacon & egg. Sometimes it’s sausage. Always, there’s cheese.
10. Shakshuka
Eggs cooked in a lightly spiced Middle Eastern tomato sauce, very on-trend with the bistro crowd. Also known as Eggs in Hell or Eggs in Purgatory. Maybe don’t call it that when you serve your mum….😂
(And use this insanely easy Artisan Bread for dunking, or if you don’t have yeast, make this No Yeast Bread or Irish Soda Bread)
And to quench her thirst…
Mimosa – Champagne Cocktail
What kind of Mother’s Day would it be if she didn’t start it off with a pleasant little buzz from a champagne cocktail?? Preferably in bed! (Psst the good thing here is that you can totally get away with using good value champers. But she doesn’t need to know that.)
💐HAPPY Mother’s Day!!💐
To all the mothers of 2 legged and 4 legged babies of all varieties, wherever you are in this world (though presumably staying at home ❤️), I hope you have a wonderful day! – Nagi x
PS I was Googling earlier today and Google tells me that the following questions are among the top things people are googling in relation to Mother’s Day. Quite insightful! 😂
Is today Mother’s Day? Be thankful for the pop up roadside flower stands on Mother’s Day!
How do you make your mum cry on Mother’s Day? I really hope this is for HAPPY tears….!!
How do I deal with an evil mother? My eyes widened when I saw this….but then I realised, I probably would have googled this myself if I had an iPhone when I was 16!!
Life of Dozer
Imagine if DOZER delivered flowers to you for Mother’s Day….!!!
(You know I was just secretly thrilled to have an excuse to pull out his tux, right?? 😂)
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely recipes…I look forward to them all the time!
Dozer’s black tie outfit is adorable…. I am going to look for one for my little guy. I really like your recipes also… I know your’s will be something I like and want to make again, Thank you for sharing…

Hello,
I would like to make your scones but there are only measurements listed for the flour. Can you please tell me why. I have no idea how much to put into the ingredients to make the scones.
Hi Kris, all the ingredients are in the recipe 🙂 N x
Keep scrolling down, the full recipe is there with quantities.
Hello Dozer – yes, please ! How did you know I liked my roses white ?! Not likely to arrive in my circumstances and my Mom crossed the river a few decades ago . . . life ! Lets’ pretend – shakshuka for me, please . . . and not too early . . . 🙂 !!
Hi Nagi I just love you sense of humour and your down to earth manner, I just adore Dozer and the antics he gets up to. Keep up the good work as I love your recipies.
What can I say… I love your recipes, but I love you and Dozer more. May God bless you both and keep you safe!
Thank you so much ❤️
Hi Nagi, thanks for the suggestions, I’m going to take the Quiche Lorraine idea because it’s my favorite. My Mom went home 10 years ago, and I still miss her especially on Mother’s Day. I’m a mom to 2 fur-bearers, so from all of us to you and Dozer…thank you and have a Happy Dozer Mama’s Day too.
PS, that photo of Dozer is one for the ages! Love it!! 🙂
I hope you enjoy it Leah! ❤️ N x
Hi NaGi! Everything looks good. Thank You
Yes I’d happily eat it all 😂🐷 N x
What happened to the heart(on the side of the screen) I used to click on to save your recipes for My Collection of your recipes? I had about 60 recipes saved and I can’t find the heart anymore. I don’t want to lose my list. I referred to them often.
It should still be there Linda! If you’re using an older browser, try switching or updating it 🙂 N x
You and Dozer are my heartache medication, as each post brings joy and sunshine amidst the maelstrom. Reading your posts is like hearing from an old and dear friend. Thank you so much. Mums Day hugs to you both from Washington state!
That’s so sweet, thanks so much Kay!!! N x
Just had to say, most every kid everywhere gives their mom heck as a teenager. I did to mine and my 7 kids did to me. We think we’er adults. We all repent eventually (hopefully) and spoil them big time when we really become adults!!!
Just really love Dozer and you.
Yes 100%!!!
Awesome post – as usual 😉
Happy Mother’s day to you and all of the other strong women out there that are an inspiring and loving role model (and/or snuggle partner) for someone!
Dozer looks like a very handsome groom just waiting for his lovely bride 😉
That’s lovely Nicole ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, the biological and the step-in-and-help moms. You all make the world a better place. Thank you.
That’s lovely Lisa ❤️
