90 Best Easter Brunch Ideas for a Memorable Morning
After opening baskets, it's time for breakfast.
On Easter morning, after attending church and opening baskets, it's a fact: the family's 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—or any of your other Easter activities. Luckily, our list of Easter brunch ideas is here to help with easy recipes for a memorable feast. We're talking about seasonal quiches, delectable pastries, and traditional Easter foods that are bunny-approved. The only thing that could make your holiday better would be a basket full of Easter candy.
Here, we've rounded up Easter recipes for any style of brunch menu from breakfast favorites like pancakes, French toast, and egg recipes to lunch options like elegant 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 the fun new way to cook asparagus in an air fryer. While some of these Easter brunch recipes are quick 30-minute meals, others are great for making ahead (see the breakfast casseroles for example). Either way, you'll have more time to spend with family and friends. Just don't forget to pour yourself an Easter cocktail before the day is through.
