Easter Brunch

coffee drinker — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:38:15 GMT

If you're having a brunch for Easter, please share your menu. I'm sort of stumped since 3 of the "guests are teenagers. One thought was sliders. There's always bread pudding and some sort of potato casserole, but there's so many carbs. I know the sliders don't sound too "Eastery", but they'll eat them. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

@lynnie61 ....I love the bunny/fruit kabob! Thanks for posting picture. I may do that as well.

@coffee drinker .... my Easter brunch is more breakfast items than lunch. The idea of sliders is good. I would do ham sliders since ham seems to be thought of at Easter.

In the past, I have done Eggs Benedict for brunch. But, I prefer items made ahead and popped in oven...serve and enjoy. Eggs Benedict means cooking at the time...but good!

My menu is usually....

Mimosas! 😉....Coffee..other juice

Egg casserole...maybe two or Quiche

Sausage cooked with apples

Bacon

Fruit Bowl or...new idea...those kabobs..maybe both

Coffee Cake, muffins

French Toast...kids love or small pancakes

LOTS OF JELLY BEANS WITH EVERYTHING! 😆

@walker Yes, the kabobs are cute and seem easy! Cute for the holiday but not many peep fans but festive. I'm doing them!

devilled eggs

ham with applesauce or grilled pineapple

scalloped potatoes

steamed dill carrots

steamed asparagus or green beans

green salad

rolls

carrot cake

this looks like a delicious menu, especially the deviled eggs. No one in my family likes them so I don't bother. Tomorrow is my 75th birthday so maybe I can wheedle my husband into making a small batch for me.

Why don't you try roasting your vegetables instead of steaming them...SO much tastier

Just a suggestion

Im DYING over the Peep Kabobs! @lynnie61

I would use both Chicks and Bunnies! Cap them with a Jelly Bean lol

Flour tortilla ham n cheese and veggie cream cheese pinwheels/roll-ups
Or ham n cheese quiche
Or tomato pie with beautiful different color haierloom tomatoe and coenmeal crust
Sams Club cranberry and pecan Chicken salad put in their mini-croissants or bibb lettuce cups
Egg Salad in bibb lettuce cups (low carb idea)
Reese's eggs ( still wrapped) thrown all over the table. I love these
Green salad ( i like Ree Drummond's) it had kale, i think, broccoli, Romaine, peas, green goddess dressing. VERY spring. Google it for the right ingredients lol
Those ham n cheese sliders will be a hit with the kids
Bowl of Lite Spam , peas and carrot, water chestnuts stir fry with teriyaki sauce and brown rice mixed inif you want really savory offering
Kielbasa sliced and in crock pot cranberry n ketchup sauce
Bacon baked in the oven for nice long uniform pieces, can be candied from brown sugar and with cayenne added, always bacon at a brunch
French Toast casserole is just more organized bread pudding lol yum and yum
Carrot cake in some form. Muffins, Cake pops, or cake

Oh and whoever said sausage n apples...YES!!!

Oven space - ham, scalloped potatoes, and rolls kept warm in the oven while the veges get steamed.

@coffee drinker WOW - SO many wonderful ideas right here in this thread! Thanks for asking because I feel many of us will benefit from it! Good luck deciding! Don't worry because even though teens can be a bit picky, they always like a good slider or ham on rolls, then they will fill their plate with whatever is available. I've never met a teen who went hungry at a buffet with all that delicious offerings! Plus, if all else fails, they will hit up that dessert table

@GoneButNotForgotten Happy Birthday tomorrow! I hope you get your deviled eggs! No one in my family likes them either, so I get them from our local grocery store! They always have loads of delicious specialty items and a daily hot bar with yummy food. They have deviled eggs available often because they are such a favorite among the shoppers! The chef is a wonderful guy, talented and not afraid to try new things, so he creates new offerings frequently. Good luck with the eggs and Have a Very Happy Birthday!

Honestly, I dont make deviled eggs, but I love them. My friend always makes them on our beach week, sooo good. Happy birthday, @GoneButNotForgotten 🎊🎉❤️🎉🎈🎈

@JeanLouiseFinch what time should I be there? Your menu looks delish!

Everyone has given such great ideas. Enjoy!

You're welcome anytime!

I never used to make them either, @lynnie61. I always had such an awful time getting my eggs to peel cleanly. I tried multiple different methods. They would be a mangled mess. Ever since I got an instant pot, they're a breeze. I think my DD would pitch a fit if we didn't have deviled eggs at our holiday get togethers. I put a little horseradish in the filling. Sometimes I'll top them with a little crumbled bacon after sprinkling the paprika.

Try deviled eggs with a little whipped cream cheese with the mayo, so good.

Make what your family likes. I have 6 grandchildren and they would never eat dill carrolts, or asparagus or ham. Make the sliders for them. I buy hebrew national puff pastry mini hot dogs and bake those on a big sheetpan with french fries.

A side of homemade mac and sheese everyone likes.

So cute!

I love Peeps but don't buy them anymore since I have a weakness and would eat all of them.
