EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Trending Videos Close this video player Put together a delicious menu with these spring brunch recipes. From baked goods to egg dishes, these sweet and savory recipes are seasonal and bright. Plus, round out your meal with a fun and colorful mocktail or cocktail. Recipes like Spring Green Frittata and Strawberry Sheet-Pan Pancakes will make any brunch feel special. There are so many great recipes in this lineup that choosing what to serve or how much might be difficult. A good rule of thumb for brunch is to offer guests at least three to five items, such as one or two entrees (like quiche, egg casseroles, omelets, frittatas, pancakes, french toast or waffles), one or two side dishes (we love potatoes, oatmeal, bacon, fruit salad or fresh cut fruit and/or green salad), one or two bread options (think croissants, scones, muffins, sweet breads, bagels and toast). Choosing dishes that can be prepared ahead of time will make entertaining easier. 01 of 30 Spinach & Mushroom Quiche View Recipe This healthy vegetarian quiche recipe is as simple as it gets. It's a quiche without the fussy crust! It's filled with sweet wild mushrooms and savory Gruyère cheese. Enjoy it for breakfast or brunch, or serve it with a light salad for lunch. 02 of 30 Blueberry-Lemon Crumb Muffins View Recipe Blueberries and lemon are a natural pairing in these light and airy muffins with a delicate brown sugar crumble. If you like an extra blast of lemon flavor, use lemon extract rather than vanilla. These muffins are best with fresh blueberries, but you can substitute with frozen. Don't thaw them before you stir them into the batter. 03 of 30 Basil Lemonade View Recipe Basil and lemon pair beautifully in this refreshing summer sipper, sweetened with a touch of honey. Make ahead and allow the mixture to infuse for 30 minutes to 1 hour before straining for a stronger basil flavor. 04 of 30 Strawberry Sheet-Pan Pancakes View Recipe Sheet-pan pancakes feed a crowd, without your standing over a hot skillet or griddle for long periods of time.

Other seasonal fruit, such as blueberries or sliced peaches, would be tasty toppers too. 30 of 30 Banana-Blueberry Buttermilk Bread View Recipe The slight acidity of buttermilk tenderizes and moistens baked goods while allowing you to cut way back on butter or oils.
