Brunch Ideas FAQs
What’s a good menu for brunch?
A good menu for brunch includes both sweet and savory options. Try to have some sort of frittata, breakfast casserole or quiche, or at least a bowl of scrambled eggs and a plate of bacon. I love any excuse to whip up breakfast pastries from scratch, like cinnamon rolls, coffee cake or scones, for a sweet component. Offer fresh options, too, like fruit salad or yogurt parfaits. It’s nice to have some sort of carb, like a plate of bagels and cream cheese on the side or buttery croissants. I prefer serving breakfast family-style, so I like to make sure everything is done at once so guests can load up their plates with whatever they want.
What should I bring to brunch?
Ask the host if you can bring anything in particular to brunch. Offer to bake pastries or a casserole, assemble parfaits, get drinks, or pick up any breakfast condiments like maple syrup, butter or hot sauce. If the host insists you don’t need to bring anything, surprise them with a vase of fresh flowers or a bottle of wine as a thank-you for hosting.
What are the best make-ahead brunch recipes?
The best make-ahead brunch recipes include overnight French toast bakes, breakfast casseroles, parfaits assembled in advance or brunch pastries baked the day before.
