Lazy group brunch ideas - no eggs or gluten

[Fortuny]

I'm a one pot sort of cook. Make ahead where possible, or at least minimal prep as I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen.

My go-to would normally be Shakshuka and Kedgeree . No idea what to make!

Smoked salmon bagels? Gluten free bagel as required. Maybe with some fruit/yogurt on the side?

Vegan gf banana pancakes - although might not pass the make ahead test.

Bubble and squeak, can add bacon or cheese. Just make sure you have potatoes and cabbage / green veg the night before.

Could you do sweetcorn fritters but use gram flour instead of wheat flour? Serve with bacon and avocado.

Homemade granola with fruit and yogurt.

Maybe a baked porridge with dried fruit and nuts.

Baked mushrooms (with garlic and herbs/ cheesy topping/bacon bits etc) served with hash browns.

I've not had tea yet and I'm so hungry reading these. Great ideas. Sweetcorn fritters stand out, a quick look says I can premake and warm on the day too. Thank you

I would probably dona version of a traybake. Cubed potato, tomato, mushrooms, onion and maybe some other veg with bacon, olive oil, herbs and seasoning. I know you say eggs free but if that is only for one or two people. I would do two different trays and crack a few eggs on top if you have people who eat eggs

Do shakshuka but grilled halloumi instead of eggs?

Ooh that's a good idea

Kedgeree works without eggs. I wouldn't eat hard boiled eggs as a child, but I still loved kedgeree.

Frittata
Oven baked breakfast hash

No gluten, no eggs at brunch... I think I'm just serving cocktails!

EXCELLENT idea. My online shop is actually 99% mimosa until I decide

I'd do cold meats, cheese, gluten free bagels, fruit.

Just to warn you, I've never made successful sweetcorn fritters without egg in the batter (egg allergy to contend with). They've been edible but light and fluffy/crispy? Nope.

You need gram flour and baking powder to make eggless corn fritters. Half GF flour and half gram flour plus BP also works.

Noooooo, I can't be faffed with recipe testing or a crap result in the day. Back to the drawing board. I need idiot proof options

Bacon sarnies with gluten free bread for the relevant people

Yoghurt/fruit platter

I'm gluten free and potato and rice based dishes beat gluten free bread every time. I think most of these suggestions sound glorious.

A lot of sausages are gluten free now. The "finest" are usually marked as such on the front too.

Gluten free sausage and bean bake with gluten free rolls. That would fit in with your one pot idea.

Another idea is a Polish breakfast combination of a bowl of cottage cheese with chopped chives, and platters of sliced tomatoes, naice ham, grated carrot salad, and various breads. It looks very appealing and colourful when laid out.
Or a typical continental breakfast selection of cheese and charcuterie if you carefully selected gluten free items.
Finish it off with a home made tropical fruit salad. Perfect!

Hash browns, baked beans, garlic butter mushrooms, sausages, bacon and halloumi sounds like heaven to me

Otherwise what about breakfast wraps? Can use corn tortillas (old El Paso make ones which are corn only and gluten free certified) then add some combination of halloumi strips or pork mince, bacon, cheese, avocado, mushrooms, salsa, etc.

If you can find gluten free bagels or English muffins, then can do those with sausage patties, cheese slices, mushrooms, etc. or smoked salmon and cream cheese which is always delicious.

Can’t believe you’ve not gone for bubble and squeak? That, with thick sliced smoked bacon and beans - I’d marry someone who gave me that for breakfast!

Easiest option does seem a tray bake though - sling some sausages in a roasting tin for 10 mins, add bacon and hash browns, another 10 minutes, add mushrooms and cherry tomatoes on the vine, final 10 mins.

I would do eggs on the side for those who do eat eggs (or two trays, add eggs with mushrooms and tomatoes) and baked beans on the side…

Bubble and squeak? Mexican or Indian beans with various side dishes and gf flatbread types?

I realise this sounds ridiculous but bubble and squeak without using leftovers feels a bit wrong 😅

I might give up on one-pam and try the European style breakfast spread idea.
