On Easter morning after attending church and opening baskets, you know the family is going to be hungry. So if you haven't started thinking about your Easter brunch menu, you better hop to it! After all, you'll need some energy to fuel you up for the annual egg hunt and all of your other Easter activities. Luckily, this list of Easter brunch ideas is here to help with easy recipes for a memorable feast.
Here, you'll find Easter recipes for any style of brunch menu from breakfast favorites like pancakes, French toast, and egg recipes to lunch options like spring salads and ham recipes galore. Looking to put seasonal produce to good use? Try the show-stopping carrot tart, the crowd-pleasing strawberry muffins, or asparagus in dreamy hollandaise sauce. Just don't forget to pour yourself an Easter cocktail to go along with your spread like a michelada or a peach bellini.
While some of these Easter brunch recipes are quick 30-minute meals, others are great for making ahead (see the breakfast casseroles for example). You'll also find seasonal quiches, delectable pastries, and traditional Easter foods that are bunny-approved. That way, you'll have more time to spend with family and friends. Whether or not you save room for that basket full of Easter candy is up to you!
