Egg Recipes for Easter Brunch

Breakfast casserole (pictured above)

My mom always makes a breakfast casserole when she hosts our family’s Easter brunch. Filled with roasted potatoes, peppers, and cheddar cheese, it’s perfect for serving a crowd!

Spinach Quiche

This delicate quiche is perfect for spring! A crispy, buttery crust surrounds a custard filling filled with spinach, green onions, and feta cheese. Make the pie crust a day ahead so you can easily assemble and bake the quiche on Easter morning.

Quiche without skin

No crust, no fuss! This delicious egg bread filled with broccoli, thyme, and Gruyere cheese is ready in under an hour.

Frittata

This flexible frittata recipe goes well with almost any vegetable. Customize it with your favorites!

eggs benedict

This vegetarian version of this classic brunch dish replaces the Canadian bacon with a poached egg, creamy hollandaise sauce, and a toasted English muffin topped with tomato slices. Enjoy a fresh spring by swapping tomatoes for roasted asparagus!

Deviled Egg

If you have leftover boiled eggs from your Easter egg hunt, put them to good use by making bite-sized appetizers! Since the eggs are already cooked, they will mix together within a few minutes.

Sweet Easter Brunch Ideas

French Toast Casserole

It’s just as delicious as classic French toast and much better for serving a crowd! Assemble it the night before so you can easily pop it in the oven on Easter morning.

cinnamon roll

These homemade cinnamon rolls are soft, sticky, and completely egg-free! I topped it with a dairy-free vanilla glaze, but I think it would also go well with a classic cream cheese frosting.

waffle

Homemade waffle bars would be so fun for Easter brunch! Serve up crispy, fluffy waffles topped with toppings like fresh fruit, peanut butter, and maple syrup, and let everyone eat as much as they want.

coffee cake

This moist, buttery coffee cake is based on my grandmother’s cake. Topped with cinnamon crumbs and a brown sugar swirl, it’s always a hit for brunch.

Easy Homemade Pancakes

My 3 year old can’t get enough of these pancakes. If you’re looking for a kid-friendly Easter brunch idea, I definitely recommend this! You might like it too. It’s fluffy, delicious, and super easy to make.

Easter Brunch Salad Recipes

bright spring salad

This pink and green salad screams spring on a plate! Creamy avocado pairs well with crunchy asparagus, radishes, and soft, buttery lettuce. The basil vinaigrette ties it all together.

strawberry salad

This refreshing salad is a fruity take on the classic caprese, stuffed with strawberries and avocado in addition to tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. This is one of my favorite Easter brunch recipes. Berries make me feel spring and morning at the same time!

Asparagus Salad

We can’t get enough asparagus in the spring. If you can’t either, this salad is for you! Crunchy grassy spears are stuffed with peas, radishes and fresh herbs and drizzled in a creamy avocado dressing.

potato

Scallop Potatoes

I grew up eating creamy, cheesy potatoes every Easter, and they are still one of my favorite Easter recipes. Serve as a side dish at dinner or enjoy with a frittata or quiche at Easter brunch.

breakfast potatoes

These guys are just as delicious as the potatoes you eat for breakfast at your favorite brunch restaurant. Crunchy, perfectly browned and deliciously seasoned with smoky, fragrant spices.

Biscuits, muffins, scones

Easy Homemade Biscuits

Crunchy, buttery and easy to make with just 6 ingredients, these homemade biscuits will make a great addition to your Easter spread. Serve with butter, jam, or honey butter for slathering on top.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Brighten up your Easter brunch table with these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins! We like it plain or with a lemon glaze on top.

Blueberry Scone

I love juicy blueberries in moist, buttery scones, but feel free to use other mix-ins if you like. It’s also lovely with chopped strawberries or dried cherries. Of course, chocolate chips would be delicious too!

Carrot Muffins

Soft, warm and spicy muffins are carrot cake in breakfast form!

Easter Brunch Drink Ideas

classic mimosa

This frothy brunch cocktail is easy to make with just two ingredients: orange juice and sparkling wine! For a cheaper yet delicious drink, go all out and buy champagne, sub cava or prosecco.

Bellini Cocktail

If you love mimosas, you’ll love this classic brunch cocktail. A refreshing combination of sparkling wine and peach puree. tip: Don’t necessarily use fresh peaches in spring. Frozen ones are cheaper and taste better!

bloody mary

The garnish is half the fun here. Garnish your glasses with celery, olives, parsley, and lemon wedges!

dessert

easy carrot cake

This classic layer cake is our family’s favorite spring treat! My recipe is super moist, warm and topped with a spicy and tangy cream cheese frosting. This would be a delicious way to end your Easter brunch.

Lemon Blueberry Bread

This simple loaf cake is quick and easy to make but will still wow your Easter brunch guests. Olive oil adds depth of fruity flavor, and Greek yogurt is moist and smooth. My bright lemon glaze sits on top!
