Jews all over the world observe Yom Kippur, and there are many different traditions for breaking the 25-hour long fast. In our home, we have two traditions. We always start with a shot of vodka, a tradition from the Russian side of my husband’s family. After a fast, boy, let me tell you, that shot hits the destination pretty quickly! In addition, we break the fast with “brinner”– breakfast-style foods mixed with various make-ahead salads and mezze. We choose recipes that are easy to prep ahead and throw together (important when you’re weak and light headed!). These dishes are comforting, easy on the stomach, and taste great. Above all there is something so fun about eating breakfast for dinner, don’t you agree?
Here are some of my favorite breakfast and brunch recipes to help inspire your own brinner-style break fast meal! Do you observe Yom Kippur? How do you break the fast?
My stomach is rumbling away looking at these picx my fb friend shared pic of your french toast ive saved it and have been looking at your recipes feeling very hungry now
I like to have bread pudding or rice pudding to break the fast. They can be made ahead of time. The recipes I use have milk, eggs some sugar plus the bread or rice so they have that comforting, easy on the stomach, breakfast quality.
All of the above please!
Shakshuka is a favorite but everything else looks great as well 🙂
Ok…Shakshuka is on my next try list! Thanks for sharing the recipes! ?
Cheese blintzes
Pretty cool. Thanks.
Shakshuka for me with fresh pita and hummus/tahina on the side.
Try it with crusty French bread, or a sourdough roll – I think you’ll be happy with the results!
Yum yum
Love the #glutenfree shakshuka. BTF is generally a Starving Celiac nightmare….
For me, an everything bagel, shmear, smoked nova or gravilox, onions, and capers are eatable breakfast, lunch and dinner, as are blueberry blintzes. Love them.
Yum, it all looks devine!!
Mmm the Nova looks great love it! I use Soy Cream cheese instead cream one
Traditionally, black coffee, water, a shot of slivovitz, and bagels and lox and cookies.
What is “slivovitz”?
Selma Rapoport-Zolotas -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz
It warms you from your brain to your toes, it takes courage to drink a shot of that plum brandy.aka slivovitz.
Thanks Helen Burton for looking up slivovitz. We prefer the bottle with the yellow label. All of them are very potent. I don’t remember who, why or when our family started this tradition.
We all take a shot before starting the Passover seder.
Also, at other holidays.
