From twists on breakfast classics like creamy eggs Benedict to mouthwatering pancakes and savory breakfast pizzas, there are many breakfast and lunch favorites to choose from. So here are the best Easter brunch ideas and seasonal recipes to inspire this year’s family gathering!
Easter Brunch Ideas to Brighten Your Sunday Morning
Of all the spring celebrations surrounding Easter, brunch has to be one of my favorites. Welcoming family and friends to celebrate Easter with a delicious brunch is one of my favorite things to do! It is the perfect time to bust out all my spring-themed tablecloths, dust off my floral China, and get ready to enjoy the weather.
And, of course, brunch is my favorite meal. So what could be better than combining your favorite breakfast and lunch dishes with desserts and mid-morning cocktails? But how do you host the perfect Easter brunch?
How to Host an Easter Brunch?
And although an assortment of Easter brunch recipes is an essential element when throwing an Easter-themed brunch, there are other things you also need to consider. So follow these easy tips and ideas to help you host a show-stopping Easter brunch and enjoy it too!
Pick Your Décor
Whether formal or casual, creating a beautiful setting is a massive part of hosting an Easter brunch. Start by picking a color scheme. You can use spring colors, pastels, and whites and even add a touch of color or gold. Use what you have at home, or start a new tradition and make adorable decorations with your kids that will last forever!
Then pick out some fresh flowers. Whether store-bought, from the garden, or in planters (my favorite), fresh flowers are a must at any Spring celebration. Their bright sunny colors will give your table a pop of color, melting away any post-winter blues.
To make it more fun, you can add Ester elements like foam Easter eggs and bunnies to your table. Finally, set the table the night before, giving you more prep time on Easter morning for any final touches.
Plan the Menu with Easter-Themed Brunch Recipes
The more you plan ahead of time, the easier your Easter brunch will go, including the menu. Lean on easy Easter brunch recipes like cold appetizers, fresh salads, and finger foods you can make the day before. Also, include hot dishes you can finish in the oven, like a heartwarming casserole, a creamy quiche, or a puff pastry dish.
Of course, no Easter brunch is complete with an egg-based dish; those are better if you prepare them right before serving. From the classic eggs Benedict to savory frittatas, pick a recipe with a twist to the original to wow your guests. But the less last-minute cooking you have, the more time you will have to play the perfect host.
Keep Your Audience in Mind
If you have kids over, it’s a good idea to include some fun Easter-themed desserts in your menu and something to entertain them, like some easy Easter crafts and activities. I also love making cute Easter desserts or cakes for the little ones.

Don’t Forget the Drinks!
Having mocktails or brunch cocktails for your guests is always a good idea. In addition, you can set up a self-serving beverage station so guests can help themselves to a refreshing spring mocktail or two.
Another great option is to make a couple of pitchers of your favorite cocktails and mocktails and label them with fun rustic stickers. Then, set a cute bucket of ice, a couple of water bottles, and a tray with anything else you might need, and let your guests pour away!
What to Include in your Easter Brunch Menu?
I love brunch because you can choose your favorite breakfast recipes and combine them with your favorite lunch recipes. The key to a great brunch menu is to offer a variety of dishes without going overboard.
- Start by choosing an easy egg dish like a frittata, including something savory and hearty like a ham and bacon casserole or chorizo bake.
- Add something sweet like French toast, a festive tray of spring-themed cookies, or pancakes. Also, you can incorporate fresh ingredients, like a yogurt parfait or fresh fruit, and finish with a cute Easter dessert (or two).
- Don’t forget to include one or two signature Easter cocktails or one or two refreshing spring mocktails. The key is cocktails with seasonal ingredients or elements and garnishes that tie them to the Easter and spring theme.
For me, Easter brunch is also a great time to combine all of those spring flavors and add fresh spring produce to the menu. For example, if I’m making an egg dish, I try to incorporate in-season vegetables like artichokes, asparagus, leeks, and spinach.
If I make pancakes, waffles, cupcakes, or a dessert, I love incorporating in-season spring fruits like apricots, rhubarb, strawberries, and mango. And, of course, don’t forget the carrots; from carrot cupcakes to carrot pancakes and waffles, you can make many fun brunch recipes using carrots.
