Easter Brunch Tips:

Our family loves having an Easter brunch! One thing that can be fun for your Easter brunch is to have different “bars” set up with bowls of fixings for all sorts of different things for example:

Breakfast Burrito Bar – breakfast meats like bacon, sausage or ham, scrambled eggs, chopped hard boiled eggs, different cheeses, veggies or fruits, salsa or sauces and of course flour tortillas.

Don’t forget to put out a supply of soft butter and cinnamon/sugar mix or different flavors of jams for those who want to spread their tortillas with a sweet treat to go with their coffee.

Pancake Bar – A pancake bar is where everyone can request what they would like sprinkled on their own personal pancake while it is cooking. This is a great special treat for an Easter brunch. You can have a couple of electric griddles set up so more than one person can cook them. Have things like an assortment of cooked and crumbled meats (bacon, sausage or ham), nuts, chopped fruits, or chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and other flavored chips. Include a variety of syrups, flavored butters and powdered sugar. Don’t forget the peanut butter. Of course you will need whipped cream and sprinkles to top it all!

Breakfast Bar – For the breakfast bar, you can just set out a variety of breakfast food including meats, assorted fruits, muffins, donuts, coffee cakes, hash browns and breakfast casseroles. If these aren’t enough ideas then think of what kinds of things appealed to you at the last nice motel where you stayed or the last restaurant where you went out to breakfast and use their ideas.

Quick And Easy Breakfast Bar – Some Easter mornings can be hectic and you may want to have a quick Easter brunch. If that is the case for you then try laying out a large assortment of breads, bagels, croissants, English muffins, muffins, biscuits, quick breads, donuts and pastries on platters. These can be put on the platters the day before and covered so you just have to uncover them at breakfast time. Don’t forget to include flavored butters, jams and honey to go with them. Serve platters of fruit and slices of ham, bacon and sausage (made the day before and warmed right before serving). Add different juices and several flavors of coffee and tea.

Crumbles, Cobblers And Crisps – Sometimes we forget that these items are great for breakfast and they’re especially good for special occasions like an Easter brunch. Crisps usually use oatmeal or granola like topping with lots of fruit in them. You can make a simple cobbler by topping a fruit filling (homemade or canned) with canned biscuits or crescent roll dough and then baking it until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly.

Cereal Bar – Set out a large assortment of cereal. Don’t forget to add things like marshmallows, sprinkles, granola and brown sugar to use for toppings.
