Whether you’re crashing on the couch after a friend’s house party or you’re just straight up throwing a slumber party with your pals (and you’ve long since graduated from elementary school), enjoying breakfast together the next day while reliving the previous night’s adventures is always lots of fun. Sure, going out for brunch and mimosas is also a good time, but the mark-up on breakfast foods can be borderline exorbitant.

Try these suggestions for the perfect morning after meal you can enjoy with your slumber party pals:

The Make-Ahead Brunch

 If you fear you might have a hangover after your slumber party, the good news is, there are plenty of recipes out there designed to solve this very conundrum:

• One of my favorites is the strata, which is basically a breakfast casserole you can throw together the night before and bake in the morning. This one looks downright delish: Spinach and Cheese Strata.
• Bon Appetit has an even simpler make-ahead recipe that uses a few simple ingredients but looks decadent nonetheless: Company Eggs.
• If your skills are a bit more expert-level, you might like to try this mouthwatering creation from The Kitchn: Sticky Lemon Rolls with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze.
• And if your slumber party involves a more health conscious group, this recipe for overnight oats looks equally tasty while staying on the lighter side.

The All-Out Brunch Party

If you want the party to keep going long after the slumber is over and don’t mind doing a bit of work the next morning, you can get cooking in the kitchen while your guests enjoy a little more snoozing. Once they smell what you’re cooking, they’re sure to jump up to claim their seat at the table faster than you can say “sunny side up!”

For this type of post-slumber-party brunch, I suggest leaving the scrambled eggs, bacon and toast to the amateurs and bust out some impressive recipes like these:

• Classic Spanish Potato Frittata (aka Tortilla Espanola)
• Sun-Dried Tomato, Mushroom and Spinach Tofu Quiche (vegan-friendly!)
• Wholewheat Blueberry Vanilla Waffles
• Coconut Crusted Stuffed French Toast
• Egg Baguette Bakes

The Luvo Lifesaver

If you’re a Luvo fan (thank you) and you have a few of our good-for-you entrees in the freezer, you can turn those into a shareable breakfast spread. A few options include: our Southwest Breakfast Wrap, Farmer’s Market Frittata, Organic Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito, or any of our Flatbreads. Bonus tip: try one of these breakfast hacks to make your Luvo spread extra impressive and delicious.

Brunch Beverages 

No slumber party brunch would be complete without some delicious drinks to serve on the side. Of course the mimosa will always be an adult brunch classic, but here are some other beverages you might like to try:

• The French 75
• The Bloody Mary
• The Strawberry Muddle
• Fresh squeezed juice (non-alcoholic and always a crowd-pleaser!)
• Sparkling or spiced-up water
