Just like all the other occasions and festivities in 2020, Fathers Day in 2020 is going to be different too… At home, no reservations, no fancy dress up, more time in the kitchen and fun ways to make your dad feel special. With things really, really REALLY bad in India right now, it is a pretty decent decision to actually spend fathers day at home instead of stepping out - having lots of fun in the kitchen cooking my dad’s favourite meals and probably a pretty decent cheesecake - which I am sure he will love.
If you are sailing in the same boat as me and looking for ideas for fathers day 2020 brunch, I have got some nice options for you:
Breakfast Ideas for Fathers Day Brunch
Sweet options for breakfast could include overnight oats, granola parfaits or a stack of delicious and fluffy cinnamon French toasts, but my dad always loves something savory for breakfast. While we know that he is going to enjoy a good serving of homemade vada pav for Fathers day Sunday, we are probably also going to make this delicious vegetarian quiche, that is so filling and so fun to make and just perfect for a spring or summer brunch (party!)
