Getting together for brunch can be a fantastic time to catch up with friends and family while enjoying some delicious foods. However, while brunch foods are certainly tasty, they can be high in calories and low in important nutrients. While not all meals need to be meticulously balanced, you may want to create a healthier brunch depending on your nutritional goals.

➖Healthy brunch ideas when eating at home:
1. Egg and Vegetable Frittata : Nothing says brunch more than a perfectly cooked egg frittata — and eggs provide a good source of protein, with a large egg packing about 6 grams.
•Recipe: Create a tasty egg frittata by simply scrambling some eggs, adding some fresh veggies of your choice, pouring it into a pan over medium heat, and flipping it after a few minutes to ensure even cooking.

2. Baked Oats With Berries: Oats are a powerhouse when it comes to whole grains, providing 4 grams of fiber per 1/2-cup (40-gram) serving.
•Recipe: To prepare baked oats, most recipes will have you combine oats, nuts, baking powder, and some seasonings with milk, eggs, a sweetener, and butter or oil. Before baking, you can add a layer of berries to the top for additional flavor and antioxidants.

3. Stovetop Panini: Considering that brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch, sandwiches make an excellent option.
•Recipe: Not everyone owns a panini press, but no worries,making them on the stovetop is quite simple.
-Heat a grill pan while you assemble the sandwich.
-Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter.
-Place the sandwich on the grill pan, firmly pressing down on it with a spatula, and flip it after a few minutes just until each side is toasted and marked with grill lines.
-Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy.

To create healthier at-home brunch options, focus on creating a more balanced meal that includes a good source of protein, as well as fruits and veggies. In addition, minimize added sugars and saturated fats when possible.
