A Delicious Breakfast Menu That Fights Food Waste!

exc-5b312236562fa7dbd1d31e22

Today, Christiann is sharing her tips on how to make a delicious, savory breakfast spread with Imperfect fruits and veggies. 

Welcome back to Part II of my Reusing Your Produce series! The last article shared tips on how to use Imperfect produce to decorate a table. I used grapefruits because they are so beautiful, colorful, and textured — you can even use them for table decor. Most importantly, grapefruits can be reused the next day!

To show you how easy it can be to reuse produce for your breakfast spread, I am sharing a mimosa recipe. If you are wondering what to pair with your mimosa, I’ve got you covered. Keep reading!

Imperfect Grapefruit Mimosas

Ingredients

  • 1 large imperfect pink grapefruit
  • Champagne

  1. Peel grapefruit, removing rind entirely and most of the white.
  2. Place in high-speed blender and puree until creamy and smooth.
  3. In a champagne glass, pour ⅓ full with grapefruit juice.
  4. Top off with champagne.

As a bonus, I am sharing recipes that will be perfect to pair with your mimosa! What’s better than a delicious morning meal? My love of weekend brunch is well-known and needless to say, mimosas and brunch go hand in hand. Pair your mimosa with this breakfast toast made with cashew hollandaise, fried eggs, and fresh herbs.
