Welcome to Breakfast & Brunch – where the day officially starts (even if it’s noon).
From My Nomad Kitchen…
Pull up a chair—don’t mind the coffee rings on the table or the puppet hoarding the bacon. I’m Tré Taylor, and after 35 years of cooking for camps, festivals, road trips, and bleary-eyed mornings, I’ve learned one thing: breakfast and brunch are about more than food—they’re about gathering, laughing, and occasionally surviving last night.
Bleep swears pie counts as a breakfast food (and honestly, he’s not wrong), but he’s also a fan of pancakes the size of your face, egg bakes that can feed a small village, and the kind of coffee cake that makes you believe in second chances. These recipes are easy, adaptable, outdoor-tested, and built for big tables of hungry friends or lazy Sundays in your pajamas.
This isn’t just another food category—it’s a scrapbook of mornings that turned into afternoons, of campfire scrambles, kitchen dance parties, and conversations that went on way past the last pot of coffee.
With love, laughter, and way too much syrup,
Tré Taylor & Bleep
🍓Very Berry Strawberry Monte Cristo Sandwich | Gourmet Summer Brunch Recipe
Very Berry Strawberry Monte Cristo Sandwich
If you're looking for the ultimate summer brunch recipe, this Very Berry Strawberry Monte Cristo Sandwich is pure berry bliss. Imagine thick slices of buttery brioche bread soaked in a rich vanilla-lemon custard, grilled until golden brown, layered with melted Gruyère cheese, fresh strawberries, and strawberry preserves, then dusted generously with powdered sugar.
Surrounded by fresh blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, this sweet and savory breakfast sandwich delivers everything you love about French toast, grilled cheese, and a traditional Monte Cristo in one unforgettable bite.
The nutty Gruyère cheese perfectly balances the sweetness of the berries while the lemon brightens every flavor. A dollop of homemade Chantilly whipped cream on the side takes this dish over the top, although it is absolutely delicious all on its own.
Perfect for summer brunches, Mother's Day, holiday breakfasts, bridal showers, weekend gatherings, or breakfast-for-dinner, this gourmet berry Monte Cristo is elegant enough for guests yet simple enough for a lazy Sunday morning.
One bite and you'll understand why this may be one of the most delicious strawberry recipes you'll ever make.
With love, music, food, art, and fun,
Tré Taylor & Bleep the Tattoo
