As Thanksgiving nears, most of us are laser-focused on preparing (or procuring) the big turkey dinner.

But once the feast is finished, we can look forward to catching up with family and friends in a more leisurely fashion. Since brunch is the most leisurely meal of all, we’ve compiled our favorite breakfast recipes for you to whip up. From a classic kibbutz-style breakfast to a Sephardic savory pastry; from the Israeli egg dish Shakshuka to a pumpkin-apple breakfast challah, these recipes are perfect for the cozy long weekend ahead.
