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.

Maybe not very brunchy but for Easter:

deviled eggs

ham with applesauce or grilled pineapple

scalloped potatoes

steamed dill carrots

steamed asparagus or green beans

green salad 

rolls

carrot cake

For brunch:

vege tray

fruit kabobs

yogurt parfaits

french toast casserole (torn bread, apple pie filling)

bagels or breads - banana nut, poppyseed...

ham and cheese croissants

deviled eggs

juice - orange, grapefruit, grape, cranapple...

Not sure of my menu yet, but these will be on the menu, whatever I have.  I saw this on Pinterest.

@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!

Our lunch menu is pretty easy:

Devilled eggs

Ham and Kielbassi

Scalloped potatoes or Potato Salad

Smashed Brussels

Steamed asparagus

Green salad 

rolls

[GoneButNotForgotten]

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!!!
