These brandy-scented apricot treats are perfect for elegant entertaining, but they're also a nice alternative to a Danish pastry for a holiday brunch. You'll appreciate how easy they are to make almost as much as you'll enjoy eating them. If the dried apricots are especially moist, you may have brandy remaining in the bowl after microwaving. If so, strain it and reserve for another use (such as adding to your coffee!).
Key limes are tiny and full of intense flavour. If you can't find them, regular limes will work just fine.
Coating crowd-pleasing French toast in coconut gives it a delicious tropical flavour and a fun crunch. Firm bananas that are not overly ripe hold their shape well when cooked; save riper, speckled ones for banana bread.
Mini quiches are easier to serve than one big quiche, and they make for an elegant presentation at your holiday brunch. Prep them the night before, then pop them into the oven to reheat in the morning.

Decadent, layered with caramel and topped with a thick chocolate icing, this cake is a little time-consuming, but well worth the effort. The key to perfect caramel is to just let the sugar and water cook to amber and never walk away during the colour stage.
A stack of golden phyllo and lemony mousse makes a crispy-smooth and utterly delicious dessert.
