To kickstart the brunch party, Valerie prepares a spicy twist on the classic eggs Benedict.

The dish is finished with a drizzle of hot sauce and a sprinkle of green onions, and Valerie reveals that this dish always reminds her of her childhood growing up in the South.

For those looking for a lighter option, Valerie prepares a colorful fruit salad that features fresh berries and tropical fruits. She dresses it with a tangy honey-lime dressing, which perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruits. Valerie's guests admire the beautiful presentation of the bowl, and she encourages them to enjoy the freshness of the fruit salad as a palate cleanser between bites of the heavier dishes.

No brunch party is complete without a cocktail, and Valerie's Bayou Bash brunch is no exception. She shares her recipe for a refreshing sweet tea cocktail that features vodka, peach liqueur, and freshly brewed sweet tea. The cocktail is garnished with a skewer of fresh peaches, and Valerie's guests sip on them while chatting and enjoying the Southern-themed ambiance.

Finally, Valerie wraps up the brunch party with a decadent dessert, a classic Southern pecan pie that is oozing with caramelized pecans. Valerie explains that this dish is a holiday favorite, but it can be enjoyed any time of the year. She encourages her guests to take a slice home, as the pie gets even better with time.
