Recipe ideas for a special home-made brunch
A great brunch is always one of the highlights of the weekend. Relaxed and informal, brunch is all about sharing good company and great food in a laid-back environment.
To help you host a very special brunch in your own home, Mumm has come up with some delicious recipes and champagne pairings, a mixture of classic combinations and more creative matches. All you have to do now is choose the menu…
Take toast to another level
Start with quality bread fresh from the bakery, and there is literally no limit to the flavour pairings and decorative dazzle that toasted canapés can offer. Better still, toast and topping combinations are easy to prepare, making them ideal for a casual weekend brunch.
For something fresh to get you started, try Roast cherry tomato & ricotta toast paired with Mumm Grand Cordon Rosé: a perfectly balanced, light and flavoursome bite ideal for brunch on a sunny day.
And because salmon is an undisputed icon of brunch, check out our recipe idea which adds a whole new dimension to classic salmon toast: Salmon gravlax with raspberry, fresh cream and soft-boiled egg. Mumm Grand Cordon Rosé is the perfect partner for this dish, its vivacious character chiming superbly with the tangy raspberry.
And for fans of sophisticated cold cuts, a Tartine of prosciutto cotto, cherry tomatoes, soft-boiled egg & stracciatella will work wonders with a glass of Mumm Cordon Rouge.
Give your brunch an inventive edge
Brunch is a great opportunity to rework some old classics, as you can see from these two original recipe ideas.
For a brunch with a fresh sea breeze, try these little tarts with a savoury twist. Our recipe for Crab & salmon roe tartlets is a perfect match for the intense, fresh aromas of Mumm Cordon Rouge.
We have also put an original spin on the classic pancake, with our recipe for Pancakes with fresh cream, trout roe and wild garlic pesto. Try serving it with Mumm Grand Cordon Rosé, a cuvée whose elegant structure and freshness will make this inventive recipe sing.

And how could we forget the iconic Club sandwich, a true brunch classic? Put a sophisticated twist on this old favourite with our Creamed leeks & egg yolk version. Both will provide a wonderful match for the freshness and intensity of Mumm Grand Cordon.
An indulgent, fruity creation
