This is for all the Dads out there!
From reading (and re-reading) favorite bedtime stories to coaching Little League and magically making scraped knees all better, there's a long list of reasons to be grateful for dad. And for all those moments of selflessness, nurturing, and care, it's only right to spend an entire day making sure Dad knows how much he's loved and appreciated. What better way to show dad a little love than an extra-special Father's Day breakfast, brunch, or after-dinner dessert? Whether you're celebrating first thing in the morning or planning an afternoon cookout with the family, any of these recipes is guaranteed to keep dad's spirits high and his belly - and heart-full all day long.
1. Chilaquiles With Fried Eggs
Starting Dad's Day off on the right foot is easy to do with breakfast in bed, and these chilaquiles are the perfect comfort food for the job. We suggest making the morning memorable with extra sprinkles of queso fresco, jalapenos, or his favorite hot sauce.
2. Popover Pancakes on the Grill
Dads are known never to pass up an airy, crispy, tender-in-the-middle popover pancake, but nobody wants a hot kitchen first thing in the morning. Enter: popover pancakes on the grill. No overheating the kitchen, less mess to clean up, and the perfect vessel for fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
3. Cheesesteak Baked Eggs
Dad's favorite cheesesteak sandwich, brunchified. Loaded with all the sizzling flank steak, veggies, runny yolks, and gooey melted provolone dad could ever want, this baked cheesesteak skillet is a dream come true for fathers everywhere and a guaranteed success for Father's Day brunch.
4. S'mores Donut Sandwich
If a family camping trip with dad isn't in the cards this year, bring the magic of his favorite campfire classic home with these rustic donut sandwiches. All the essentials of a good s'more are represented, from melty chocolate and gooey marshmallows to graham cracker crumbs and the promise of sticky fingers and smiles.
5. Pull Apart Pigs In a Blanket
If quality time is the only thing on Dad's wish list this year, make the moments last with shareable snacks that are fun and flavorful. These pull-apart pigs in a blanket check both boxes and pair perfectly with Dad's famous chili for dipping and a couple rounds of his favorite board game.
6. Sheet Pan Brussels Sprouts Bacon Egg Hash
For fathers who prefer their food saucy, sizzling, and on the spicy side, we present this ultimate sheet pan meal sure to make him smile. You can't go wrong with savory bits of bacon, crispy Brussels sprouts, perfectly runny free-range eggs, and a generous smattering of buffalo sauce on top.
7. Egg-In-A-Hole Burgers
If dad's a grill fanatic, give him a mouthwatering challenge with these egg-in-a-hole burgers. Unlike burgers topped with fried eggs, these are artfully grilled with a free-range egg nestled inside the patty itself and are sure to be the star of your Father's Day cookout.
8. Jalapeno Popper Frittata
Who says you can't serve Dad jalapeno poppers for breakfast? With just a few familiar ingredients and a handful of free-range eggs, this appetizer-inspired frittata packs all the spicy, salty goodness of dad's favorite finger food into a skillet fit for anyone's Father's Day breakfast or brunch table.
9. Stuffed Peppers With Eggs and Sausage
Minimal cleanup and plenty of fresh air make outdoor cooking a no-brainer for Father's Day brunch, so we suggest having a few grill-friendly recipes ready for the occasion. These cheesy stuffed peppers are a savory combination of sausage, eggs, onions, and mushrooms...and a delicious reason to get the grill going early!
10. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Totchos
For a fun and filling breakfast, the whole family can prepare together, grab a bag of tater tots, and work on these cheesy breakfast totchos. Already yummy as a classic bacon, egg, and cheese situation, these tatchos can also be upgraded with dad's favorite toppings and dipping sauces for the ultimate nacho experience.
