Egg Recipes for Easter Brunch<\/h2>\n

Breakfast Casserole<\/a> (pictured above)<\/h4>\n

When my mom hosts my family’s Easter brunch, she always makes this breakfast casserole. Packed with roasted potatoes, peppers, and cheddar cheese, it’s perfect for feeding a crowd!<\/p>\n

\"Spinach<\/p>\n

Spinach Quiche<\/a><\/h4>\n

This delicate quiche is perfect for spring! The flaky, buttery crust surrounds a custardy filling that’s flecked with spinach, scallions, and feta cheese. Definitely make the pie crust<\/a> a day ahead so that the quiche is easy to assemble and bake on Easter morning.<\/p>\n

\"Crustless<\/p>\n

Crustless Quiche<\/a><\/h4>\n

No crust, no fuss! Filled with broccoli, thyme, and Gruy\u00e8re cheese, this delicious egg bake comes together in under an hour.<\/p>\n

\"Frittata<\/p>\n

Frittata<\/a><\/h4>\n

This flexible frittata recipe works well with nearly any veggie. Customize it with your favorites!<\/p>\n

\"Eggs<\/p>\n

Eggs Benedict<\/a><\/h4>\n

In this veggie version of the classic brunch dish, I top toasted English muffins with poached eggs<\/a>, creamy hollandaise sauce<\/a>, and tomato slices instead of Canadian bacon. Replace the tomatoes with roasted asparagus<\/a> for a fresh spring twist!<\/p>\n

\"Deviled<\/p>\n

Deviled Eggs<\/a><\/h4>\n

If you have hard boiled eggs<\/a> left over from an Easter egg hunt, make these bite-size appetizers to use them up! With the eggs already cooked, they come together in minutes.<\/p>\n

Sweet Easter Brunch Ideas<\/h2>\n

\"French<\/p>\n

French Toast Casserole<\/a><\/h4>\n

It’s just as delicious as classic French toast<\/a> and SO much better for serving a crowd! Assemble it the night before so that you can simply pop it in the oven on Easter morning.<\/p>\n

\"Cinnamon<\/p>\n

Cinnamon Rolls<\/a><\/h4>\n

These homemade cinnamon rolls are soft, gooey, and totally egg-free! I top them with a dairy-free vanilla glaze, but they’d be great with classic cream cheese frosting<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

Waffles<\/a><\/h4>\n

A homemade waffle bar would be so fun for Easter brunch! Set out these crisp, fluffy waffles with toppings like fresh fruit, peanut butter<\/a>, and maple syrup, and let everyone load theirs up.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

Coffee Cake<\/a><\/h4>\n

This moist, buttery coffee cake is based on my grandma’s. With a cinnamon crumb topping and brown sugar swirl, it’s always a hit at brunch.<\/p>\n

\"Fluffy<\/p>\n

Easy Homemade Pancakes<\/a><\/h4>\n

My 3-year-old can’t get enough of these pancakes. If you’re looking for kid-friendly Easter brunch ideas, I definitely recommend them! You’ll love them too\u2014they’re fluffy, flavorful, and super easy to make.<\/p>\n

Salad Recipes for Easter Brunch<\/h2>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Bright Spring Salad<\/a><\/h4>\n

This pink and green salad is practically spring on a plate! Creamy avocado plays off crisp asparagus, radishes, and tender butter lettuce. A basil vinaigrette ties it all together.<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Strawberry Salad<\/a><\/h4>\n

This refreshing salad is a fruity riff on a classic Caprese<\/a>, filled with strawberries and avocado in addition to tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. It’s one of my favorite Easter brunch recipes because the berries make it feel both spring-y and breakfast-y!<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Asparagus Salad<\/a><\/h4>\n

I can’t get enough asparagus in the springtime. If you can’t either, this salad is for you! You’ll toss the crisp, grassy spears with peas, radishes, and fresh herbs and douse them in a creamy avocado dressing.<\/a><\/p>\n

Potatoes<\/h2>\n

\"Scalloped<\/p>\n

Scalloped Potatoes<\/a><\/h4>\n

I grew up eating these creamy, cheesy potatoes on Easter every year, and they’re still one of my favorite Easter recipes. Serve them as a side dish at dinner, or enjoy them alongside a frittata<\/a> or quiche<\/a> at Easter brunch.<\/p>\n

\"Breakfast<\/p>\n

Breakfast Potatoes<\/a><\/h4>\n

These guys are just as good as the breakfast potatoes from your favorite brunch restaurant. They’re crispy, perfectly browned, and deliciously seasoned with smoky, savory spices.<\/p>\n

Biscuits, Muffins, and Scones<\/h2>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

Easy Homemade Biscuits<\/a><\/h4>\n

Flaky, buttery, and easy to make with 6 ingredients, these homemade biscuits would be a wonderful addition to an Easter spread. Serve them with butter, jam, or honey butter<\/a> for slathering on top.<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins<\/a><\/h4>\n

Brighten up your Easter brunch table with these lemon poppy seed muffins! We love them plain or with a zesty lemon glaze<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Blueberry Scones<\/a><\/h4>\n

I love the juicy blueberries in these moist, buttery scones, but feel free to use other mix-ins if you like. Diced strawberries or dried cherries would be lovely. Of course, chocolate chips would be delicious too!<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Carrot Muffins<\/a><\/h4>\n

These soft, warmly spiced muffins are carrot cake<\/a> in breakfast form!<\/p>\n

Easter Brunch Drink Ideas<\/h2>\n

\"Mimosa<\/p>\n

Classic Mimosa<\/a><\/h4>\n

This bubbly brunch cocktail is easy to make with 2 ingredients: orange juice and sparkling wine! Go all out and get Champagne, or sub cava or prosecco for a more affordable\u2014but just as delicious\u2014drink.<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

Bellini Cocktail<\/a><\/h4>\n

If you like mimosas, you’ll love this classic brunch cocktail too. It’s a refreshing combination of sparkling wine and peach puree.\u00a0Tip:\u00a0<\/em>In spring, don’t bother using fresh peaches. Frozen ones will be cheaper and have a better flavor!<\/p>\n

\"Bloody<\/p>\n

Bloody Mary<\/a><\/h4>\n

The garnishes are half the fun here\u2014dress up your glass with celery, olives, parsley, and a lemon wedge!<\/p>\n

Desserts<\/h2>\n

\"Carrot<\/p>\n

Easy Carrot Cake<\/a><\/h4>\n

This classic layer cake is my family’s favorite spring treat! My recipe is ultra-moist, warmly spiced, and topped with tangy cream cheese frosting<\/a>. It would be a delicious ending to an Easter brunch.<\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/p>\n\n

\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Lemon Blueberry Bread<\/a><\/h4>\n

This simple loaf cake is quick and easy to make, but it’ll still wow your Easter brunch guests. Olive oil gives it fruity depth of flavor, and Greek yogurt makes it super moist and tender. My bright lemon glaze<\/a> takes it over the top!<\/p>\n
