First comes coffee, then comes these seriously luxe breakfasts. With Italian cannoli crepes, a bacon and egg pull-apart and bacon porridge (yes, bacon porridge) all on the menu, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were dining at your local cafe. This gallery is brought to you by Nespresso Vertuo.

Chive and smoked cheddar pancakes with maple-glazed bacon

Sure, pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup are good. But pancakes made with chives and smoked cheddar and served with maple-glazed bacon, avo and eggs are undeniably better.

Bacon and egg pull-apart bun with roasted tomato ketchup

The only thing you need to add to this bacon and egg pull-apart is a Nespresso double espresso coffee. You can easily prepare it at home in the Vertuo machine, and get the same intensity and richness you’d expect from your local – win, win!

Bacon porridge with soft-boiled eggs

Porridge might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of boujee brekkies, but when it’s given a savoury twist and topped with poached eggs, paprika-infused bacon and furikake, who can resist?

With haloumi, waffles, smoked salmon and eggs, this recipe has all the essentials for a perfect start to the day.

Italian cannoli crepes

Poached eggs, chorizo, white beans and whipped ricotta

This poached egg, chorizo, and white beans dish will be the reason why you get up for breakfast. And the whipped ricotta will be the reason you make it again and again.

Apple and cinnamon babka

Babka is usually served on Easter Sunday, but given it’s 2021 and there are no rules, we’re happy to make an exception. Plus, we love the apple and cinnamon twist. This gallery is brought to you by Nespresso Vertuo.
