Father's Day is fast approaching. It only comes once a year, and it's the perfect way to celebrate your dad and everything he does - and has done - for you over the last 12 months. What better way to do that than by serving up a scrumptious Father's Day breakfast? Here are some breakfast recipes that will bring a tear to your dad's eye and deliver the kind of big bear hug that only a dad can deliver.

Some dads just love a sweet treat. If yours is among them, what better way to deliver a sugary Father's Day breakfast?

HOMEMADE FLUFFY PANCAKES

One simple but effective recipe is Homemade Fluffy Pancakes. These make a perfect bed for fresh fruit, a dash of whipped cream and some tasty cinnamon syrup. After all, as Will Ferrell pointed out in the movie Elf (a common dad favorite), syrup is one of the four major elf food groups. It may not be elfy for the waistline, but it's good for the soul.

CINNAMON BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

If your dad is more of waffle fan, then light up his morning with these Cinnamon Buttermilk Waffles . The buttermilk helps the batter rise to a fluffy, tangy peak, while McCormick Ground Cinnamon brings an added warmth that will make it a morning to remember.

EASY FRENCH TOAST

Waffles not dad's thing? Had one pancake too many lately? We've got you covered. Our Easy French Toast dish is a great way to breathe new life into breakfast. It's a simple, fast breakfast but that doesn't make it any less fluffy and delicious. You can use most breads for this one, and a hearty loaf of breakfast bread will do fine, but you could also score extra dad brownie points by serving up a nice buttery brioche.

Not every dad has a sweet tooth, especially if you're looking at a Father's Day brunch option. Fear not; we have plenty of egg recipes for those that want to hold the sugar. Here's a collection of savory Father's Day breakfast hits.

CHEESY HASH BROWN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Eggs, bacon, hash browns and cheese go so well on a plate together that it's no wonder some recipes cozy them up a little. This Cheesy Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole combines them all so that they melt together in a layered savory Father's Day brunch treat. A little McCormick® Ground Mustard and McCormick® Garlic Powder give this comforting dish even more flavor and bite.

GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES

If you're looking for a side that suits a Father's Day brunch, then check out these Garlic Roasted Potatoes. They're seasoned with McCormick® Garlic Powder for extra savory flavor, making them a perfect accompaniment to our breakfast casserole or one of a hundred other savory Father's Day brunch dishes.

EGGS BENEDICT

One such dish could be Eggs Benedict , a classic brunch spread that's easier to prepare than you think but which looks very upmarket. Hollandaise sauce is a little daunting for some who worry about overheating it, 'breaking' it by under-whisking, or adding butter too quickly. This blender-made version is quick and easy.

Father's Day is always on the third Sunday in June in the US, and it's one not to miss. So get your apron on and your whisk at the ready, and make him proud.
