The Art of Brunch: Prosecco DOC and The Canadian Traditions of the Holiday Breakfast

In Canada, brunch is a must-attend event: a way to enjoy food and company convivialy, without being mindful of the daily grind. 

And when Italian excellence meets this Canadian tradition, the result can only be to elevate brunch to the next level. All thanks to Prosecco DOC, the perfect symbol of conviviality and style.

The meeting of two cultures: Canada and Italy at the table

What characterizes Canadian brunch are its rich flavors: the first dishes that come to mind are Eggs Benedict, pancakes covered in maple syrup, but also crispy bacon and puffed pancakes. Adding a touch of Italian bubbly to these classic dishes lends freshness and versatility-a perfect choice to accompany this variety of flavors, enhancing both sweet and savory dishes.  

Prosecco DOC: The touch of class for every brunch

The presence of Prosecco DOC at a Canadian brunch brings with it a breath of conviviality: an internationally recognized symbol of Italian excellence, it fully embodies the Italian tradition of the aperitivo, the savoring of life with a glass in hand and in good company. All perfectly aligned with the concept of brunch, representing moments of pause, pleasure and sharing.

Below are some ideas with the best combinations: 

• Mimosa with Prosecco DOC: This is a timeless classic and present in every brunch. Authentic Mimosa is only so with Prosecco DOC, which lends elegance to the citrus notes of the orange. Its fine, persistent perlage creates the perfect toast to start the day. 

• French toast with pan brioche and berries: the sweetness of French toast, enriched with a cascade of fresh berries, finds a perfect balance in the lively and fruity taste of Prosecco DOC, especially in the Dry version, which cleanses the palate without overpowering the flavors. 

• Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and Prosecco DOC: The rich flavor of the eggs and the savoriness of the smoked salmon are enhanced by the delicacy of Prosecco DOC Extra Dry. Its floral and fruity notes go perfectly with creamy sauces such as hollandaise sauce. One way to make an already iconic dish more refined.

A perfect Italian-Canadian style brunch

Want to further impress your guests? Here are some final tricks to make sparks-and bubbles.

1. Choose fresh, seasonal ingredients for both dishes and cocktails. For example, use freshly squeezed orange juice for mimosas or fresh berries to garnish desserts.
2. Make dishes that pair well with bubbly: Prosecco DOC pairs beautifully with eggs, but also with fish dishes and smoked salmon. Adding a few seafood dishes can take brunch to the next level.
3. Create a cozy atmosphere in perfect Canadian style: A successful brunch is not only about good food and great drinks, but also the right atmosphere. Whether you choose outdoor brunch on a sunny day or breakfast by the fireplace on cold Canadian mornings, companionship and sharing remain the focus.

Brunch, in its essence, celebrates the pleasure of shared dining. Adding Prosecco DOC to this moment fully embraces the idea of uniting two cultures through excellence and conviviality. Whether for a special occasion or for the simple pleasure of being together, a glass of Prosecco DOC elevates every brunch and transforms the meal into an experience to remember.
