To make Easter holiday planning easier, I've rounded up 45 of my best Easter brunch recipes and organized them into 6 categories: Savory Egg Recipes, Sweet Treats, Spring Salads, Easter Cocktails, Easter Breads, and a Breakfast Charcuterie Board. I've included savory classics like egg asparagus tarts and mini quiches, along with sweet favorites like blueberry cake and lemon cookies.
These 45 easy Easter brunch recipes are perfect for building a traditional Easter brunch menu with the classic Easter food everyone expects. Here's a quick peek at what this recipe round-up has to offer.
If you're a fan of hearty, crowd-pleasing egg dishes, you'll love the hash brown sausage and egg breakfast casserole, the reader-favorite ham and broccoli frittata, and the sweet potato sausage frittata - all perfect for feeding large hungry groups.
For something a little more elegant, the egg and asparagus puff pastry tarts and mini quiches (meaty and veggie variations) are as impressive on the table as they are delicious, while the bacon and spinach egg muffins are a great grab-and-go option if you've got little ones running between egg hunts.
If you're serving ham (or leftover ham) for your Easter brunch, I highly recommend making my honey brown sugar glazed spiral ham with orange marmalade and Dijon sauce.
On the sweeter side, the carrot cake loaf, my super-popular blueberry-lemon bread with a lemon glaze, and lemon cookies bring that cozy spring warmth that feels just right for the Easter holiday - and yes, I absolutely consider carrot cake a brunch food.
To wash it all down, make my cranberry juice mimosa, refreshing strawberry mocktail, or go all the way into Easter dessert cocktail territory with my sugar cookie martini.
Whether you're putting together a full sit-down Easter brunch or a relaxed buffet-style spread, there's something here for every table. Scroll through, save your favorites, and get ready for your best Easter brunch yet!
