The maple season also means brunch with friends, family or lovers. It’s the perfect excuse to set the table on Sunday and enjoy a tasty moment in good company. In our kitchen, duck is the guest of honor at brunch. As well as being rich in protein, our duck meat is deliciously easy to mix into your meal ideas. It’s comforting, different and, above all, easy to find at a grocery store near you. For inspiration, read below!
Rich in iron, riboflavin and niacin, and providing 18 g of protein per 100 g serving, duck is a great way to fill up on energy and nutrients when you get up. Our duck is just as good for “farmer’s” brunches as it is for early risers, who need that little protein boost to start the day on track.
Missing your classic “two eggs, bacon and sausage” brunch? Take out the frying pan and brown a few slices of duck bacon [›››], available in our boutique only, and your favorite duck sausages [›››]! Put some toast on top and top with eggs cooked just the way you like them! And don’t forget the tater tots, which can be even better than in the restaurant with our duck fat [›››]. A plate that’s 100% made in Québec, with our local products, is a brunch that’s sure to please!
If you’re more of a Eggs Bene-addict, our version with shredded duck confit [›››] is sure to make you swoon! Caramelize some onions and mushrooms, place them on half of a toasted English muffin and cover with cheese. Add however much confit you want and finish with a poached egg. Top with Hollandaise sauce and you’re on your way to seventh heaven!
How could we fail to mention French omelettes and breakfast casserole [›››], both delicious and easy to make! They’re the ultimate comfort food, as well as the perfect way to use up anything you’ve got on hand. Improvise with what’s in your fridge, or follow this magic recipe for success: take leftover duck breast [›››] or leg [›››], some roasted veggies, a melting cheese, aromatics for flavour, and abracadabra, you’ve got one heck of a meal! An inexpensive brunch, why not?
Countless options on the go
Duck is great for a fun brunch, but it’s also perfect for a quick bite on the run. Rillettes [›››] are a wonderful alternative to cretons on toast, and shredded duck confit makes for a great easy grilled cheese [›››], wrap to go or breakfast sandwich. There’s no better way to start your day on a busy morning!
