2. Frittata

1. Chicken and Ginger Spinach Soup

Nothing is more comforting than a bowl of warm chicken soup, which helps to restock sodium and water levels in the body. Chicken also contains cysteine, which gives the liver a much needed boost. Ginger works wonders for nausea relief and contains anti-inflammatory compounds. Finally, spinach is rich with potassium, an important electrolyte that is often depleted during alcohol intake.

2. Bloody Mary Egg Bake with Bacon Crumble

Inspired by everyone’s favorite brunch cocktail, the Bloody Mary Egg Bake with Bacon Crumble offers a kick of spiciness from the hot sauce to wake up your senses. Eggs pack a ton of cysteine, an amino acid that breaks down toxins in your body. Tomatoes help pack simple sugars to get your levels up and running again, and its inflammatory benefits don’t hurt either.

3. Everything Bagel Avocado Toast with Mascarpone and Red Onion Pickle

Avocado is everyone’s favorite new, trendy ingredient for brunch. The nutritional content of avocados can counteract dizziness and weakness that results from heavy drinking. Apple cider vinegar in the pickled onion can help dissolve foreign substances in your body, and also balance pH levels and increase deficient minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and iron.

4. Lemon Thyme Bread

And after all the savory dishes, who can say “No” to a sweet treat? The Lemon Thyme Bread packs rich scent from fresh thyme and lemon peel. After baking in the oven for 40-50 minutes, the bread is crispy crust and dense yet moist inside that just melts in your mouth. Top it off with a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt and drizzle it with honey, and you’ve got yourself the perfect dish to end the brunch.
