Holiday Brunch — Hands-On Brûlée French Toast & Omelet Class in Tigard, OR | Cooking Class | Workshop

Holiday Brunch at Cookin' Class in Tigard, Oregon feels like a hands-on kitchen party where seasonal flavors and beginner-friendly technique meet. In this 1.5-hour mini class located in Tigard just outside Portland, guests ages seven and up learn to build a festive brunch from first course to plate, using a brûlée torch for a show-stopping finish. The setting is a warm community kitchen with room for 12 students; doors open 30 minutes before class so you can settle in, grab coffee, and meet your guides. The menu focuses on two courses: crème brûlée French toast with a holiday cranberry compote and a French-style rolled omelet paired with a rich mornay sauce. Recipes, complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, and an apron to borrow are included, and you’ll leave with both the food you cooked and a printed recipe to recreate the meal at home. The class emphasizes safe, practical technique—knife skills, stovetop timing, and torch handling—so even nervous beginners come away confident. Highlights include the hands-on brulee torch experience and a fun photo booth that turns your holiday spread into a moment worth sharing. The itinerary is straightforward: a brief safety demo, active cooking at the workstations, and a communal meal in the dining room while leftovers are boxed up. Bring sturdy to-go containers to carry home extras and wear closed-toe shoes; if you’re under 17, a parent or guardian must remain on site. Late arrivals risk missing the first course, so punctuality matters—if you expect to be late call 503-455-8101.
