How to Plan the Perfect Easter Brunch

Timing Matters: Easter Brunch Serving Time

Decide on a brunch serving time that works for you and your guests. Late morning or early afternoon are both popular choices.

Plan Ahead: Preparing in Advance

Plan and prepare as much as possible in advance, so that you can enjoy the day with your guests.

This includes cleaning, setting the table, and prepping food.

Menu Magic: Crafting Your Easter Brunch

Choose a menu that balances sweet and savory dishes, and includes a mix of breakfast and lunch items. 

Popular brunch options include quiche, deviled eggs, fruit salad, pastries, and mimosas.

Perfect Portions: Serving the Right Amount

Consider the size of your group and how much food you need to serve. A good rule of thumb is to have 2-3 dishes per person.

Easter Elegance: Adding Finishing Touches

Add some finishing touches to make your Easter brunch feel special!

This could include decorating the table with Easter-themed items, serving fresh flowers, and creating a festive cocktail or mocktail.

Fun Easter Brunch Ideas

1. Cinnamon Rolls

Everyone knows that Cinnabon has the best cinnamon rolls around, but these copycat Cinnabon cinnamon rolls are hot on their heels.

With this spot-on sticky buns recipe, you can practically make your own Cinnabon cinnamon rolls from home, except you’ll get to make a dozen of them for about the price of two of the real things.

Plus, your kitchen will smell amazing!

2. Hot Cross Buns

You can never have too many sweet treats for brunch, and these Hot cross buns are an amazing addition to any brunch menu. 

Smelling of cinnamon and tasting of sugar, oranges, apricots, and sultanas, the buns will have your guests drooling long before they ever reach the table.

They’re a sticky, sensational mess that everyone will love.

3. French Toast Casserole

This delicious French toast casserole takes less than an hour to make and only seconds to devour. It has a delightfully crispy outside and a sweet, creamy inside. 

It’s almost like eating a warm maple donut with sweet cream in the middle. In other words, it’s heavenly.

Or make something a little different and try this French toast bagel recipe.

4. Blueberry Buckle

If you’ve never had a buckle cake, you’re in for a treat. It has a soft, fluffy, cake-like middle, but the top is almost like a crumb cake.

The inside is full of your favorite fruit.

It’s light, not overly sweet, and has fruit in it, so you can absolutely justify it as healthy.

5. Easter Bread

Easter bread is basically a lovely, seasonal-inspired version of brioche bread.

It shares the same great taste, but it’s pretty and Eastery enough to take the place of a centerpiece on the table.

Covered in pastel sprinkles with brightly colored Easter eggs in the center, this bread is a must-have for your spring brunch.

6. Brioche French Toast

This is a classic French toast recipe with a brioche twist. If you can make French toast, you can make brioche French toast just as easily. 

It’s best served with fruit, maple syrup, peanut butter, or powdered sugar.

If you want a more savory dish, top it with roasted nuts, sausages, fried or pached eggs, or ham instead.

7. Bisquick Breakfast Casserole

Anyone who says casseroles are a dinnertime-only dish is flat-out wrong and has obviously never tried this scrumptious Bisquick breakfast casserole. 

Containing cheese, Bisquick mix, hash browns, eggs, potatoes, and sausage, this casserole has all your morning favorites baked into one golden brown bake. It’s incredible.

8. Blueberry Pancake Casserole

Here’s more undeniable proof that casseroles aren’t just for dinner anymore.

However, since this one is full of sugar, cinnamon, blueberries, and streusel, it might be more of a dessert than a true casserole. 

Don’t worry; we won’t tell if you won’t.

9. Pancakes

Pancakes are a brunch staple, and these are better than most.

They’re made of bananas, walnuts, and maple syrup, and are covered in whipped cream. Put simply, they’re perfect.

The best part is they take less than 10 minutes to cook!

10. Easy Breakfast Braid

You can’t have a proper brunch without having a few savory dishes on the table as well. This easy-to-make breakfast braid takes care of that. 

The bread is flaky and crunchy, and biting into the ham and cheddar cheese center is like biting into the best breakfast sandwich you’ve ever had.

Top it with parsley for a splash of color.

11. Carrot Cake Trifle

I know what you’re thinking, and, yes, a lot of Easter trifle recipes are served in huge glass bowls.

But you can just as easily make individual portions!

And what’s more bunny-friendly than carrot cake?

12. Frittata

People often shy away from making frittatas because they feel like they’re too much work, but this recipe calls for the most basic ingredients, along with gouda, spinach, and half and half.

It also takes less than an hour to prep and cook, so if you’ve been aching to try your hand at frittata but have been too scared to do it, now’s your chance.

13. Mango Toast

This is another excellent recipe for people who love to eat brunch but aren’t great at preparing it. 

If you can toast bread, cut fruit, and add spread to bread, you can make any of these three easy mango toast recipes.

14. Ham and Cheese Quiche

With only eight ingredients and five easy instructions, this might be the easiest quiche you’ll ever make. It’s also likely to be one of the most delicious.

All you’ll need is a refrigerated pie crust, eggs, milk, salt and pepper, green onions, shredded cheese, and chopped glazed ham.

In less than an hour, you’ll be enjoying a hearty, cheesy main dish.

You can also go crustless if you prefer.

15. Parfaits

Full of dates, almonds, honey, cinnamon, oats, bananas, Greek yogurt, sunflower seeds, and strawberries, these parfaits are packed full of vitamin C, potassium, and FLAVOR!

Plus, they make a lovely picture sitting there on the table for Sunday brunch.

16. Breakfast Potatoes

Every good breakfast spread needs something spicy, herby, savory, and filling. That’s where Easter potato recipes come in.

You can whip these up in a skillet in about 20 minutes.

Aside from the hash potatoes, all you’ll really need are the seasonings – garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne.

Add a little butter and oil to cook them in, and you’re good to go.

17. Scones

This recipe is a very basic one for scones, but there are also plenty of options to add to jazz them up a little.

Whether you prefer chocolatey scones, zesty scones, fruity scones, nutty scones, or spicy scones, this recipe can accommodate you. 

18. Bunny Tail Donut Holes

There’s nothing we love more than a good themed recipe, and these Bunny tail donut holes are delightfully perfect for Easter.

Not only are they adorable, but they also taste great, especially if you’re a fan of toasted coconut and vanilla.

They’ll have you aching to go hopping down the bunny trail.

19. Biscuits

Good biscuits are another essential brunch item, and these biscuits made from Cracker Barrel’s recipe are better than good; they’re spectacular.

In fact, we’d go so far as to say they taste better than the originals.

They’re both flaky and fluffy, and they have that classic buttermilk biscuit flavor we love. Best of all, they’re done in less than half an hour.

20. Waffles

Crispy and golden brown on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside – if that’s not the perfect waffle, then there’s no such thing. 

These waffles are super thick, and you can easily make them on a waffle iron in about 15 minutes.

You can top them with powdered sugar, berries, syrup, honey, or any of your other favorite toppings.

Because the recipe allows you to make ten waffles in 15 minutes, you can even make a whole waffle bar out of this recipe without much time or trouble. 

21. Mini-Blueberry Beignets

These Mini blueberry beignets are the perfect treat for anyone looking to bring the taste of the Big Easy to their very own brunch this spring. 

They have the perfect doughy shell, just the right amount of powdered sugar on the outside, and a filling that’s pure blueberry goodness.

22. Iced Coffee

No good brunch is complete without a delicious pick-me-up drink to help provide that extra needed boost of energy.

This recipe is for copycat McDonald’s iced coffee, and it’s fantastic.

This drink is sweet, icy cold, and so simple, you probably won’t even need to keep the recipe bookmarked.

23. Lemon Loaf

One of the joys of cooking at home is that you can mix recipes from all your favorite restaurants.

In this case, nothing goes better with McDonald’s iced coffee than Starbucks’ lemon loaf. 

Luckily, we have the recipes for both!

This loaf is a sweet, tangy, and zesty treat all in one small, lemon-glazed package.

Have it for brunch; have it for breakfast; have it for an after-dinner dessert. It’s good any time of the day.

24. Spanish Omelette

This isn’t your mom’s old-fashioned omelette recipe, unless your mom happens to be a master of Spanish cuisine, of course. 

For this omelet, you’ll need eggs, potatoes, onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley.

It’s cooked in a tortilla and will put you in mind of the yummiest tapas you’ve ever eaten.

If you like your morning omelettes to be a little garlicky, throw some garlic powder in the mix as the eggs are cooking.

25. Breakfast Fruit Tarts

If you’re looking for fantastic finger foods for the fruit fanatics in your life, these breakfast fruit tarts are ideal. 

They have crisp and crunchy granola tart shells and a filling made of Greek yogurt and lemon curd.

Whatever you want to stuff in there, go for it. The more fruit, the better!

Nothing proves the saying, “Imitation is the highest form of flattery,” more correct than my love of Starbucks copycat recipes.

Crescent rolls are a family favorite for families worldwide, and they tend to pop up on every major holiday. These crescent rolls, though, are better than most. 

The rolls themselves are Pillsbury. Just stop by the store and buy a couple of cans. What makes them so amazing is the honey butter glaze. 

Once you drizzle that over the top of the rolls, they go from delicious to drool-worthy.

30. Banana Bread

If you love Starbucks’ banana bread, you’re in luck because this is, once again, a Starbucks copycat recipe, and it’s perfect.
