Foodie Friday: Easter Brunch Bites


Easter Brunch ~ it's an annual event that so many look forward to each year. Last Easter, most of us just could not go out. Happily, this year, with the world opening up a bit, will be different. If you prefer to stay home, like us, this roundup of 18 recipes are all celebration worthy. Cheers!


Dogwood Punch
Sparkling rose, strawberry lemonade, grenadine, lemons, and strawberries create the prettiest punch. This is how you toast spring and Easter Sunday.

Smoked Salmon Board
This brunch worthy board plays well for Passover or Easter! The color is
 the thing.

Strawberries & Cream Overnight French Toast
Said to be the easiest recipe ever. It begins with wonderful brioche bread, and ends with a whole bean vanilla whipped cream. Perfect!

Everything Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Life is just too short to make boring deviled eggs. These are anything but that! This recipe is so beautiful for brunch.

Meyer Lemon Chamomile Suzette Crepes with Greek Yogurt
I think that I have found my favorite recipe of this roundup. Of course it is from the one and only.....

Mixed Berry Berry Bruschetta With Whipped Yogurt Spread
Why just serve toast when you can make up a platter of these? Fruit is always nice to serve. Mix it up a bit for Easter.

Lemon Jelly Donuts
This is a super easy recipe, that would make an awesome activity for the kids at brunch. That filling? It is lemon pie filling. 

Lobster Mac and Cheese
A perfect companion for a baked ham. Or it could easily stand on its' own.  This recipe is creamy, cheesy, and decadent. Very festive!

Amazing Glazed Ham
I am not the biggest fan of ham, but I could see myself picking this ham to death. It really looks scrumptous. The recipe comes from the Ree Drummond. The good news is that it starts with a fully cooked spiral ham. It cooks for a long time, and that is how you get that sensational  looking crust!

Hasselback Scalloped Potatoes
How gorgeous is this dish?These potatoes have been stacked with style and Gruyère and Parmigiano cheeses, heavy cream and pancetta. 
What's Gaby Cooking


Grilled Lamb Lollipops
This dish screams Spring to me. The bone makes sure that they are tender and juicy. The green dish is sweet pea dip. How delish. It all makes a
 pretty platter. 

Crispy Breakfast Potatoes
These aren't just any potatoes. They have been crisped with chili garlic oil and fresh herbs. Also the potatoes are cooked on a sheet pan with bacon! 
So it's rather no fuss, but oh so good.

Coconut Coffee Cake
Eat cake for breakfast? kate Spade says we should. This looks like such a treat for breakfast or brunch. There's coconut in the cake and on it. It's topped off with even more coconut in the glaze. A very easy cake to serve to a crowd.

Make Ahead Spring Bread Pudding
This beautiful bread pudding is made in individual gratin dishes, so it cooks up really quickly. The recipe calls for morel mushrooms. YUM!

Banana Bread Griddle Cakes Caramelized Bananas and Walnuts
Gluten Free & Vegan
Just give me this stack, and no one gets hurt! My oh my, do these look good. The added bonus is that these won't hurt a touchy tummy.

Eggs Benedict Strata
What a clever recipe! Actual Eggs Benedict would be very difficult to make at the last minute for company. At least I wouldn't try it. You put it all together the night before. 

Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Carrot Cake is a must have at any Easter meal. Make it into chic little cupcakes and it will always be a winner.

Carrot Mimosa
Unexpected and oh so appropriate!
