If you're looking for a twist on your usual brunch, this rösti tray bake is a great option. Instead of the typical breakfast scramble or eggs Benedict, stack crispy rösti squares with layers of cream cheese, Emmental and pastrami. This dish is perfect for Easter brunch or any time you want something a little different.

For those interested in food trends, try making chip charcuterie, which is all about layering chips with cold meats and cheese, then grilling until melted and crispy. Spread a layer of your favourite chips on a baking tray, top with grated cheese and Woolworths’ beechwood-smoked pastrami, then pop under the grill until the cheese melts and the pastrami is crispy. Once out of the oven, drizzle with hot honey, balsamic glaze, or your favourite toppings for a fun and interactive snack that’s perfect for Easter or any casual get-together.
