Recipe adapted from Beef. It's What's For Dinner.
Makes 5 pieces of toast
Ingredients
1 lb beef Top Sirloin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 avocado
1 tsp of chili lime seasoning
Juice of 1 lime
5 slices of sourdough bread
Instructions
1. Season your beef Top Sirloin with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a grill pan on your stove to medium heat. Place your steak in the center of the pan and grill to medium-rare (145 F) to medium (160) doneness, turn occasionally. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of your beef.
3. While your steak cooks prepare your avocado. Combine the avocado, chili lime seasoning and lime juice in a bowl.
4. Place your sourdough bread on a sheet pan and broil in the oven until golden brown. You will need to flip your toast to get even browning on both sides.
5. Remove your steak from the grill pan once it reached your desired doneness (145-160). Let it rest.
6. While your steak is resting spread the avocado over the toast.
7. Cut your steak into thin slices and layer on top of the avocado spread.

Bacon, Leek and Gruyère Fritata
Recipe adapted from Willams Sonoma's Newlywed Cookbook, which by the way is amazing!
Ingredients
4 slices of bacon
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small leek
1/2 cup of half-and-half
6 large eggs
1/4 ground pepper
1 cup Gruyère cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 inch pie dish and set aside.
2. Cook bacon over medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour out any additional fat left in your pan. Add butter to the pan and cook leeks until tender, this only took about 7 minutes for me. Remove leeks from pan and let cool.
3. Whisk together eggs, salt, pepper and half-and-half. Add in gruyère cheese. Then, add leeks and bacon once they have cooled.
4. Pour the egg mixture into your 9 inch pie dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Cut and serve.
Fresh Fruit
My husband loves his fruit, so anytime we are doing brunch I make sure to put out fresh fruit. Grab your favorite fruits and place them in a serving dish or on a platter. This will also add more color to your tablescape.
Hope you enjoy!
