Planning Easter Brunch
When planning a brunch, there are a few things to consider:
- Timing: Brunch, named so as it's a meal to have in place of both breakfast and lunch, is typically served between 10am and mid-afternoon. Brunch is definitely a casual affair, though, so this is definitely more of a guideline than a rule!
- Serving Style: Do you want to serve brunch as a buffet, or family style? You likely want to take the size/layout of your space, the number of people you're serving, and what you'll be serving into consideration. It's much easier to serve food family style if you have a small table with 6 guests, but much more difficult if you're serving 30!
Brunch Menu Planning
We all know that eating is the best part of brunch, so how to decide what to serve? Here are a few things to think about when menu planning:
- Variety: Brunch combines both breakfast and lunch foods. Eggs, bread, fruit, pastries, desserts, and drinks are typically served, with a mix of both sweet and savory items. This roundup has exclusively baked goods included, so I'm helping you out with the sweets!
- Food Allergies and Special Diets: As with all gatherings, you may have guests who have food allergies, are vegetarian or vegan, etc. Definitely ask your guests if they have any restrictions on what they may eat so that you can accommodate them!
- Think Seasonal: Seasonal food always tastes best! When planning your menu, think about what fruits/veggies are in season.
- Think Festive: Since it's an Easter brunch, maybe you'd like to include some festive decor and food choices to fit the theme!
- Make Ahead Items: To make things easier on yourself, think about items that you can prep/make in advance! The less you have to do the morning of your brunch, the more you'll be able to enjoy yourself!
