The Best Easter Brunch Ideas

You may be wondering: what should be on my Easter brunch menu? A complete brunch menu usually will have something savory, like classic eggs benedict, an easy egg bake or anything with bacon!

How to Set Up an Easter Buffet

A buffet-style meal is one of the best Easter brunch menu ideas for a crowd. First, gather all your recipes in advance so that you can begin shopping and prepping. Then, a few days before, gather all the serving dishes and utensils you'll need for the buffet serving area. The night before, set your dining table so that you're free the morning of your Easter buffet to handle last-minute tasks. On Easter morning all you have to do is pop a few things in the oven, light the candles and you're ready to host!
