English-style brunch

It's 11 a.m.

Let's do as the English are doing!

While it’s brunch here, it’s 4 p.m. teatime in England. To recreate this experience and continue the English tea ritual, serve salty appetizers followed by bite-sized sweets. And don’t forget your favourite herbal tea!

For 4 guests

First, prepare your favourite tea.

Traditionally, loose-leaf tea is preferred.

Heat 4 ramekins filled with beans with tomato sauce.

Serve with traditional scones, English muffins, cupcakes, crème fraîche or mascarpone and various jams and marmalades. Take some time to set the stage: bring out your most elegant cups, and present everything on porcelain plates and bowls, for instance. Top things off with a selection of cheeses, dried fruit and nuts. Cheers!
