Essence of Mom
Plain buttered toast tastes like haute cuisine when it’s delivered bedside. But when Chef Emeril Lagasse’s doing the cooking, Mother’s Day brunch becomes delectable in its own right. From beignets to bread pudding, these dishes will give Mom the dual satisfaction of eating your food and knowing she taught you some tricks.
“Put an egg on it” is a fix for any number of kitchen conundrums. And this recipe proves a ham-and-cheese croissant only improves with a sunny-side-up topper. Who’d have thought?

Creole Breakfast Bread Pudding
This savory pudding, flavored with smoked pork sausage and wine-sauteed veggies, feeds a crowd with a finesse that’s rare in big-batch meals. It’s a winner for large families and very hungry moms alike.

Cafe Au Lait Beignets
Coffee and doughnuts were meant for each other. These beignets, topped with powdered sugar and served with cafe au lait creme anglaise, combine the two in each pillowy, perfect mouthful.

Buttermilk Pancakes
Pancake recipes are like well-fitting jeans -- you can never have enough. These classic buttermilk ones make a mouthwatering canvas for mom’s favorite mix-ins (sprinkle berries or chocolate chips straight onto the pancake at the start of cooking on the griddle).

Buttermilk Biscuits
Extra-flaky biscuits make a mouthwatering addition to any feast. Served with butter and jam or thick homemade gravy, they’re almost a meal in their own right.
