Easter Brunch!

Help! Time got away from me and I haven't even planned my Easter menu. Since there's only going to be four of us, I want to serve a brunch rather than our usual Easter feast. Can y'all give me some ideas for brunch dishes? TIA!

@Bluffbaker I just found this recipe this morning and am planning on making it for Easter:

CHEESY ASPARAGUS GRATIN:

INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 ounces brie cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
Place asparagus in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in butter, garlic and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Place into oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until tender but crisp. Top with cheeses and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until melted.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Bluffbaker.....I am doing a brunch also.....6 adults and 5 children. The family always wants my traditional items so I stick with those which are....Mimosas!..😀....Farmer's Casserole (hash browns, ham, cheese, green onions with egg/milk mixture), bacon, sausage links with apples, fruit, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls and chocolate-chip pancakes for the kids! I always have to add one new item so this year I am trying a recipe David fixed last Sunday....a ham/pineapple quiche.

Good luck with your plans!

Oh @walker I very rarely watch ITKWD but I did catch the opening when he was putting that quiche together and it did look delicious . . . your brunch sounds scrumptious, enjoy!

Thanks, mtc, and I should add your Asparagus recipe to my menu. Sounds good also!

@walker, I missed ITKWD last week. I'll have to look the ham pineapple recipe quiche up on the website. Your menu sounds delicious!

Thank you!!!!! I was just about to ask if you had the recipe! Before we became empty nesters, I'd always cook a ham for Easter and a pineapple cheese casserole on the side. David's recipe sounds like an all in one dish! Can't wait to check it out.

When I do brunches I always serve smoked salmon quiche and one other kind (just in case there is someone who does not like fish). I have a glass bowl full of cut-up fresh fruit, a platter of toast and a platter of brown sugar bacon.

@Bluffbaker

I thought this site offered Easter brunch inspiration. I really liked looking at the pictures .

Hmmmm...the blogger says just by adding 2 Tablespoons of instant vanilla pudding, our fruit bowls can be taken to the next level. Normally, I am not a box pudding person but I have to try this! 😀
