We all know that Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. This couldn't be more true on Pesach when Chol Hamoed usually consists of a long outing with the family, with no lunch options, other than what you brought with you from home! (Matzah and cream cheese sandwiches anyone?) That's where the ultimate pesach breakfast spread comes in. What better time of the year to sit down and enjoy a leisurely breakfast?!
The breakfast spread includes:
- Homemade Orange Juice: We always had a big case of oranges in our home on Pesach. After nibbling as many oranges as our tummies could handle, we'd crank out the juicer and make some freshly squeezed juice. The kids love making it, and it's SO GOOD!
- Pancake Board: I made these delicious gluten free pancakes on my Instagram stories last year, and you guys went nuts for them! It was time for an official post.
- Lox Platter: There can't be a proper Jewish gathering without some smoked salmon! Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking.
- Baked Feta Cheese: It's feta like you've never had before! It's baked with olives, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, and spices. The texture is amazing!
- Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs: This is a method you can use all year long to achieve the perfect hard boiled egg.
Homemade Orange Juice
Citrus season is on it's way out at this time of year, so it's the perfect time to take advantage of these juicy oranges. Navel oranges are ideal for juicing because they are not overly sweet, and make a great stand-alone juice. I bought this juicer from Amazon and I love it!

Perfect Hard boiled eggs
I use this method every week when i'm making eggs for shabbos day. If they are cooked this perfectly, you will hardly smell their trademark eggy smell. What's better is that they will look so pretty with their golden yolks, minus any of that unappetizing greyness.
