Holy Brunch, This Menu Delivers

This post may contain affiliate links, please see our privacy policy + disclosures for details.

Easter Brunch isn’t just a meal—it’s a full-on event with unapologetically stretchy pants and a table that says, “yes, I absolutely made four types of casserole, thank you for noticing.” Whether you’re here for the savory stars like Ham and Cheese Sliders, Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust, or the gloriously carby Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole, we salute you. But let’s not pretend the sweets aren’t pulling just as much weight. There’s Peanut Butter Cup Tart that doubles as a conversation starter, Small Batch Sticky Buns that will not be shared, and Pineapple Pound Cake which honestly deserves a crown. Feeling extra? Layer on the decadence with Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole and Grilled Berry Pizza with Whipped Ricotta, because fruit + sugar = brunch math. This lineup has everything you need for a table that screams “festive,” “fabulous,” and maybe “a little full,” in the best possible way!
