Make A Simple But Elegant Brunch

Easter morning and I had all kinds of ideas for a fancy Easter Brunch.  One big problem though is I am not much of a morning person.   That being the case breakfast items don't usually come out as planned.

I decided maybe I could prepare something not from scratch but serve it up elegantly to make up for my lack of skill.

I pulled a box of mini pancakes from the freezer, a carton of Cool Whip from the refrigerator, a jug of maple syrup from the cabinet and a banana from my banana rack.
   

 
 I put the pancakes on a paper plate and microwaved them for 30 seconds.

Then I put the pancakes in a fancy dessert dish and sliced up a banana on top.

I poured on some maple syrup.

I plopped on some whip cream.

Finally, I served it up in the middle of a fancy table setting with a cup of coffee and some hard boiled eggs sitting in bird nests.   Take if from me your guests will think you slaved to make them this beautiful and yummy breakfast.  What would have made the dish even more tasty would have been some crumbled bacon on top.  Maybe next time.

To convert this dish into a scrumptious and different dessert throw in some vanilla ice cream before you plop on the whip cream.  For breakfast or dessert you could also experiment with fruit flavored syrups.   Everything store bought and ready made and your guests will never know the difference.
