10 Best Brunches for an Indulgent Morning

Recover from your previous night out a little faster with one of these indulgent brunch dishes found on menus across Borgata…

• Bacon & Egg Bagel Sandwich with American Cheese│Bread + Butter

Keep it simple with a classic breakfast sandwich – yummy bacon, American cheese, fluffy scrambled eggs, all on a carb-a-licious Jersey bagel.

Rice Krispies Encrusted Stuffed French Toast│The Metropolitan Yes, you read that correctly. This French toast is encrusted with Rice Krispies, stuffed with raspberry cream cheese, and served with pineapple jam and maple syrup.

Lobster & Bacon Omelet│The Sunroom Whole pieces of succulent Maine Lobster make this omelet by Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian our favorite – but please don’t tell the other chefs.

Hanger Steak & Eggs│The Water Club In-Room Dining When you’re in need of something hearty yet healthy, order the Hanger Steak with Egg Whites while lounging in bed at The Water Club. The dish comes with rosemary homefries and grilled tomatoes, but you can skip the homefries and substitute them for in-season fresh berries in vanilla broth or grilled grapefruit served warm or chilled.

Breakfast Danish│Borgata Baking Company Made for your tasting pleasure by none other than Borgata’s Executive Pastry Chef – and former White House pastry chef – Thaddeus DuBois.

Superfood Wrap│Immersion Spa This fiber and protein-packed wrap – quinoa, Heirloom tomatoes, baby arugula, green olives, avocado, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice – will leave you feeling satisfied, but not overly stuffed, as you lounge poolside 32 floors above sea level at Immersion Spa, staring out onto floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Carved Candied Slab of Bacon│Borgata Buffet Not your average bacon. Candied slices of thick carved bacon – as many as you wish to devour.

Large Fatburger with Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, & Egg│Fatburger at The Cafeteria Fresh lean beef – never frozen – cooked-to-order however you want with whatever you want on it. When our night ends particularly late, we wake up and head to The Cafeteria to order a large Fatburger with cheddar cheese, bacon, and egg with a side of cheesy fat fries and a Maui-Banana shake. Sure, that all sounds pretty gluttonous, but it’s just enough comfort food to resurrect you from hangover-purgatory.

Chicken Pad Thai with Extra Egg│Noodles of the World Ask your server for extra egg to make this warm bowl of spicy-peanut noodles even more comforting.

Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes│Borgata In-Room Dining
Chock full of locally-grown New Jersey blueberries rich in antioxidants, these pancakes are also super moist thanks to the ricotta cheese added to the batter. Borgata’s Executive Chef, Tom Biglan, is sharing the recipe for you to try at home! See below.
