Brown Rice Congee
The runny yolks add richness to this slow-cooked congee. Plus, it’s easy to make soft-boiled eggs for a crowd. Simply bring a large pot of water to a boil, add one egg per guest, and cook exactly 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, plunge into a bowl of ice water, then peel, halve, and divide amongst serving bowls. Get the Recipe:Brown Rice Congee With Kimchee, Scallions, and 7-Minute Eggs. Brie Passano

This congee adds extra nutrition and nuttiness to the savory porridge thanks to brown rice. It can also be made vegan without the eggs! For a fun family get-together, serve the congee in a stovetop Dutch oven or slow cooker and set out a toppings bar with kimchee, scallions and whatever else Dad craves so each brunch-goer can customize their bowl.
