Tips for a Great Easter Brunch
Plan ahead: make a list of all the dishes you plan to serve and start preparing each one as early as possible. This will help you avoid last minute stress and ensure everything is ready on time.
Set the table: you can either go all out with an Easter tablescape or keep it simple with a white or colorful tablecloth, napkins and plates. You can add Easter themed decorations like flowers, Easter eggs or bunny figurines.
Plan to make a variety of dishes: While planning your menu, make sure to include a variety of sweet and savory dishes. This will make sure there is something that everyone enjoys and guests can enjoy a well-rounded meal.
Consider breakfast casseroles to make Easter morning run smoothly. You can prep a lot of these in advance. Plus, it makes it faster to make a large amount of food at once compared to making something like French toast one by one.
Another thought is to make it a pot luck. Almost every big event in my family is a pot luck with everyone (or almost everyone) contributing a dish. This makes it fun to try each family favorite recipe, plus the host/hostess doesn’t have the responsibility of making everything themself. There’s still a lot to do when hosting Easter brunch.
Accommodate dietary restrictions: if needed, consider the dietary restrictions of your guests, such as vegetarians, allergens, gluten-free or dairy-free eaters. Offer a variety of dishes in your brunch spread that caters to different dietary needs.
Serve drinks: brunch isn’t complete without a selection of drinks.
Consider seating arrangements: if you are hosting a large group, make sure there are enough spots for everyone to sit. This could be one large table or several small tables or tv trays set up.
