Hey guys, welcome back, so today I have a lot of fun

ideas

to share with you. I'm going to show you some fun Mediterranean-inspired recipes. Of course, I will share with you some really cool tricks to do. next

brunch

is easy if you enjoyed today's video, please like and subscribe before you go whenever I have entertainment. I try to do most of the prep work the day before, that includes washing my produce. I make a mixture of white vinegar and water. I let it soak for a minute or two and then rinse it the day before.

This is also when I want to make sure that everything I plan to use to serve my food is nice and clean and ready for what's next. That day I'm also going to make a small flower arrangement using these roses from the supermarket and I want to show you some interesting little tricks to make your bouquet really go a long way and for this

brunch

I wanted a bouquet that went a little further down the table because I'm using a table smaller and I'm going to use a small coffee cup because I feel like it goes with the brunch theme, then I'm going to place some masking tape vertically on the glass the way you guys are seeing and then I'm going to place two more pieces horizontally and give it it will give a neater professional look and the last little tip is to start opening up those roses so let's start spreading out the petals. on the perimeter of the rose, so you don't necessarily want to tap once in the center and you'll see it's just going to fill in all those little empty spaces and it looks absolutely stunning and it looks a lot more expensive than it was.

At brunch we are going to serve this Mediterranean inspired salad that has a lot of fresh and colorful ingredients and you have to chop a lot here, so this is one of those dishes that I would prepare the night before and it really tastes much better when you let the salad marinate, so it's perfect of course, I washed all my produce and for the tomatoes we're just going to cut them in half. I like to use grape tomatoes because they are sweeter and easier to prepare. cut it too and for the rest of the ingredients the trick is to cut them into small cubes that are all about the same size so for the cucumbers we're going to peel the skin off and then we're just going to cut them in half and then cut that half and half and then we just make small slices and now you are ready to cut the squares, we are doing the same with the red onion and I am also going to use red peppers, but you could use yellow or orange peppers, it is completely up to you and this is what you are looking for, chunks small and uniform, I would just combine everything and also add palomar olives, this is a must for the salad and adds a nice savory element.

For the dressing we are going to add it directly to the salad because it is one of those dressings that cannot be spoiled, but I will leave the exact measurements and ingredients in that information box, so we will use lime. juice also a little white wine vinegar but you can also use

champagne

vinegar avocado oil let's add a little salt the special ingredient in the salad is zatar I bought it from trader joe's it is so delicious and you can be as generous as you want with For this we will also use some fresh parsley and fresh mint.

The mint is so delicious in this dish that it really brightens all those flavors and gives it a refreshing effect. Yes, we can go ahead and cover it and refrigerate it overnight. so the next day all you have left to do is decorate and serve something else that i definitely recommend pairing the night before is any type of charcuterie board with cheese plate so i'm making a little mini version since it's just for two people, but I have these little baby bella cheeses. I also have some heart salami that we are going to turn into this beautiful flower.

This is a really easy and simple little thing you can do to make it feel super special, but basically I'm wrapping a wine. glass with salami and I wrap it all around until it's so full that you can't wrap it any more and then you just flip that glass over on your plate and you're left with this beautiful rose, it's so much fun and then I'll add my baby bella. I also found these cute heart shaped macaroni from Trader Joe's, but I think Costco sells them too and then I'll just add some fun cheeses so they can go in the fridge too and you can take them with you.

I go out the next day, the last thing I like to do the night before is have an idea of ​​what I want to do to set the table the next day. All that's left to do is set the table completely. I bought this table runner from Jcpenney. A couple of years ago I felt like it adds a nice natural element to all my white plates and then I went ahead and placed my plates on my flatware. I kept it very simple, so now we can go ahead and start preparing our breakfast. I am very excited about this dish, this is a Turkish inspired dish, it has a garlic yogurt base with some butter poached

eggs

, so with the

eggs

I am going to serve naan and I buy it at Trader Joe's, it is very easy to make .

I put it in the oven, made it a little soft and then a little crispy, so I left them in the oven a little longer. I went ahead and took out my salad that I was marinating from the night before and topped it. Top it off with some fresh feta cheese and I like to add the feta cheese at the end right before I serve it so it doesn't absorb those colors and it looks nice and bright and it just makes the presentation much cleaner and you can also top this with more parsley or more mint is totally up to you and now for the eggs we are going to prepare the yogurt base first.

It's so easy, in fact, I could make the yogurt the night before, but it's so quick to make that I just made it the morning of so I put my Greek yogurt in it. I'm going to add a little bit of fresh minced garlic and then a little bit of salt, a little bit of smoked paprika and then a lot of fresh dill, mix that all up and tell you guys like me. I could actually eat this as a dip, like with French fries, it's so delicious and the eggs cook so quickly, which is why I like to have the table set and everything else already laid out so that when the eggs come off the stove you can enjoy them hot.

I'm going to bring my skillet to medium low heat. I'm just going to wait for it to warm up completely. I'm going to add a generous amount of butter to my hot pan and I like to use salted butter because I don't add extra salt, but if you use unsalted salt, just make sure to sprinkle a little bit of salt at the end and then I'll add crushed garlic, you don't want It's chopped or anything, I just want to infuse it. that garlic flavor in the butter, I don't really want to bite into that garlic, so I'm just turning it around until it starts to release that natural garlic aroma and then we're going to slowly pour two eggs into that butter and basically, we're just giving them a nice bubbling butter bath.

We're going to make them easier, so you'll just want to continue pouring that butter over them like you see me do here and once the white is completely cooked. Let's go ahead and add our spices. I'm using smoked paprika and some crushed red peppers and just sprinkling it in there. You can add as much or as little as you want, depending on how spicy you want them. of mixing the butter in a little bit and then at the end we're going to add some fresh parsley, go ahead and take them off the heat and then just add that yogurt to your plate and spread it evenly, I like it more or less Leave a little pocket in the center for let the eggs fit very comfortably in there, then we just carefully place those eggs on top of the yogurt cream and drizzle on some of that hot, tangy butter, oh guys, I'm telling you this dish is so good.

There's something special about that cold garlic yogurt mixed with warm butter, of course, you can't have brunch without dessert, so this time we'll keep it simple: we'll add some strawberries with condensed milk if you've never had strawberries with condensed milk. milk is something so simple but beautiful that you can literally dip strawberries the same way you do chocolate of course we have to have

champagne

for brunch so let's make a champagne float so let's begin. adding a little bit of vanilla ice cream to our glass, one or two tablespoons, it's up to you, then we'll add a little bit of a kind of pink lemonade.

I found strawberry lemonade at Trader Joe's and this creates such a beautiful layer. Look, I mean, besides being delicious, but the last step is topping it with the champagne of your choice, so yeah, that's all I have to share with you in today's brunch video, all the recipes are listed then thank you.
