Some holidays are quiet affairs. We have spent many Thanksgivings and Christmases with just our family of four. This Easter 2020, we know it will be “just us.”
I adore brunch. Firstly, because it’s the time of day when I naturally want to eat my first real meal. Plus, think of the possibilities! There are no boundaries on brunch.
You can go sweet or savory, keep it simple or have multiple courses. Your Easter brunch can even include a spring salad!
To be honest, the first thing I put in my mouth on Easter is a jelly bean because the Easter Bunny always leaves a trail of them for the girls to find their Easter baskets.
After a morning of stealing candy, I’m ready for a tantalizing and nourishing meal. Here, then, is an Easter menu to inspire your own festivities–with your own family, yourself {the best leftovers} or with friends over Zoom.
Mix & Match Easter Brunch Menu
Start with a Good Beverage
- Have a cold brew
- Or a brunch cocktail
Now, Something Baked
- Bake a pear streusel cake
- Or one-bowl banana bread
- Maybe orange pecan biscotti
An Easy Egg Dish
- How about a strata
- a Spanish tortilla
- or crepes
Don’t Forget the Bacon
Yes, Salad for Brunch!
- Have your spinach salad wilted
- or this zippy kale quinoa salad with citrus
- or a simple tossed green salad
Complete with Cake
- or these whole wheat carrot cupcakes
- tiny strawberry tarts
- or lemon pudding cakes
Whatever you do, I hope you cook something good for yourself, eat slowly and take just a moment to be present in this complex, trying and important time.
