“Brunch is not a meal. Brunch is a competition. And I’m winning.”

– Matt Bellasai

Not to sound too arrogant, but we are great at making brunch spreads.

Scratch that. We’re the brunch champs. 

That’s why our family and friends usually flock to our doorstep every Sunday to enjoy a perfectly cooked and well-curated brunch menu.

But we will be honest with you—we haven’t always been at the top.

During our early brunch years, we were up to our neck, finding good recipes and figuring out which dish pairs well with which drink and dessert.

And when most of our friends (us included) went on keto, we hit rock bottom.

After all, how can we create a good brunch spread without the good old classics?

(pancakes, waffles, and mimosas)

Well, it was not impossible, but it was challenging. 

That’s why we prepared this list of brunch recipes that are:

• Low in carbs and calories but high in fats, fiber, and protein,
• Quick and easy to make,
• Make-ahead recipes that you can cook in bulk,
• Deliver the savory brunch flavors that you love

But wait, there’s more.

We also included two dessert recipes to satisfy your sweet cravings in a low-carb way!

So, what are you waiting for? Check out the low-carb brunch recipes for a crowd that will impress your guests and have them saying, “Off to brunch, be back never.”

Promise, we won’t go bacon your heart.
