Guava and Cheese Bread Pudding

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (1)

Paola Velez brings the iconic pairing of guava and cheese together in what she describes as "if flan and bread pudding had a baby, and it's delicious." This particular budin de pan recipe — which Velez calls "history in a bowl" — originated from Velez's husband's 101-year-old grandmother. It features a lavish custard made with what might seem like an excess of evaporated milk, but makes for an utterly dreamy texture in the final product.

Brown Butter-Raspberry Baked Oatmeal

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (2)

In this baked oatmeal, perfectly tender spiced oats mixed with sweet and tart fruit are topped with crispy coconut and pecans. The recipe calls for raspberries, but blackberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries would work as well. Blooming the spices in the hot brown butter releases their flavors and infuses the entire dish with a nutty warmth, perfect for a crowd.

Orange Liqueur Mimosa

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (4)

No breakfast party is complete without a mimosa. In this recipe, we give classic mimosas a twist by swapping out the traditional orange juice with splashes of homemade orange syrup and orange liqueur.

Big-Batch Bloody Marys

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (7)

This crowd-pleasing mix starts with the toned-down tomato kick of V8 vegetable juice, then gets a double smack of heat from zippy horseradish and hot sauce. Regular pickle juice adds a puckery sweet-and-sour touch, but we really love the extra heat from a jar of spicy pickles. Be sure to let the mix sit for a least a couple hours to let the flavors meld and mingle.

Tater Tot Casserole

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (8)

Tater tots are the ultimate party food. The secret to this casserole is the layer of creamed spinach in the middle, atop the cooked sausage. It adds elegance to the dish, as well as a nice contrast to the crispy, crunchy Tater Tot top.

Cheddar Cheese Pound Cake with Brandy Caramel Apples

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (13)

This poundcake created by chef Dawn Burrell gets a bit of a savory edge from the mellow cheddar cheese mixed into the batter and sprinkled on top of the cake as it bakes. It's excellent with afternoon coffee or tea on its own, but the Brandy Caramel Apples move it clearly into dessert territory (add a scoop of ice cream to take it over the top). You can bake one large cake in a Bundt or tube pan, or two cakes baked in loaf pans.

Salmon and Arugula Frittata with Pesto

Adjepong likes to serve the frittata with crisp greens drizzled with fresh lemon juice – a decadent choice for a watch party.

Cinnamon Roses

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (15)

This simple yeasted dough is soft and tender, yielding golden, tear-apart rolls. For the best “bloom,” tightly roll the dough, and use unflavored floss to cut the roses; it pinches the rolls less than using a knife.

Blueberry Cornbread French Toast

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (16)

Cornbread and blueberries are natural partners, especially in this French toast recipe by chef Erick Williams of Virtue restaurant in Chicago. Dipping cornbread into the blueberry-infused batter gives the bread a beautiful blue marbled pattern while retaining its texture. Be sure to just dip it in the batter and not soak the bread; otherwise, it will fall apart. The cornbread and blueberry sauce can be made a day in advance; use frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren't available.

Chilaquiles with Tomatillo Salsa and Fried Eggs

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (20)

Bringing a skillet of chilaquiles topped with all the fixings to the table is a very wise weekend brunch move. Start out by firing up your broiler: Lightly charring the tomatillos, garlic, jalapeños, and onion until lightly charred gives the green salsa terrific depth of flavor. If you don’t have time to fry the tortilla chips at home, just pick up a bag of your favorite store-bought brand.

Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

Breakfast and Brunch Party Recipes for Watching the World Cup (21)

The secret to high-rise soufflé pancakes is all about speed and temperature: Cold egg whites whip more slowly than room temperature ones, but they form stronger, more uniform bubbles, and whipping them on medium speed incorporates more air. Finally, piping the batter in one swift pass allows you to create more height from the beginning without overcooking each pancake.
