A breakfast mainstay, bread is just as important when you want to create a filling and healthy brunch featuring varied flavours. Moving beyond simple bread and butter or jam on toast, this meal is an opportunity to dream up tasty and original combinations and pairings. So, how about a delicious warm goat cheese on toast as the star of the show at your brunch? All you have to do is arrange a nice slice of “Ripened goat log” on toasted farmhouse loaf or multigrain bread.
Then, top with some bacon pieces, a spoonful of honey or even some herbs. Simple, quick and delicious ideas for a brunch that is packed full of flavours.
Whilst the tradition in France is generally to keep the cheese board for lunch or dinner (between the main course and dessert), in many countries, cheese is enjoyed early in the day for breakfast. This makes good sense, as cheese contains protein, vitamins and calcium, providing the energy and nutrients required to tackle the day. Are you brave enough to bring the cheese board out at brunch?
Make sure each of your guests gets to enjoy tasting your cheeses by offering different goat cheeses that have a variety of flavours and textures. One such service: a spreadable fresh goat cheese, a typical Ripened goat log and, finally, a pressed goat cheese, such as Soignon Mi-Chèvre with its mild and fruity flavour.

More than just a time to savor, brunch must also provide the necessary nutrients to set you up for a full day ahead, especially if you’re planning a Sunday outing.

Whether plain, flavoured or with fruits, goat milk yogurts have a clean and mellow flavour, in addition to a creamy texture, and they are perfect over brunch as you ease gently into the day.
Preparing brunch gives you a chance to express your inspiration and desires as you create savory and sweet pairings. Eating healthy is of equal importance if you want to start the day right. And there’s no better way to go about that than with a combination of cereals, fresh fruits and a dairy product made using goat milk.
