Whoever came up with the concept of Easter brunch, needs to get a medal right now! Easter is a popular holiday mostly because of the delicious brunch we get to feast on.
Brunch any day is a wonderful idea, but combined with the festivities of Easter, it becomes all the more happiness-inducing!
The best thing about preparing for brunch is that you can be super versatile with your menu! You can combine all your breakfast favorites and all your lunch favorites plus a variety of desserts and no one can complain!
Here are 4 dishes from Freshy you can try out for your next easter brunch:
Recipes For Easter Brunch
Classic Waffles
If you want to put something on the table that can appease both children and adults alike, you have to have a waffle station! You can find a bunch of different yet fool-proof waffle recipes here.
You can prepare the batter ahead of time and then just load up the waffle maker and let it do its thing while you prepare the rest of the food.
The best part is, you can get as creative as you want with the toppings, or stick with the classic butter and maple syrup, and people will love it either way! To make things more fun, you can add Nutella, whipped cream, MnM’s, sprinkles, and even bacon as side dishes/toppings. Let the guests have fun assembling their perfect waffles.
It might sound like a simple dish but trust us, it will be a fun addition regardless.
It’s also a pretty safe dish to put on the menu since who doesn’t love waffles?!
Chicken Pockets
We love the idea of putting wrapped up, easy-to-serve food on a brunch table. These chicken pockets are a great way to impress everyone at a table since they pack a tonne of flavors and are super easy to make! You can prepare them ahead of time and simply bake them when you’re ready to serve them.
These chicken pockets are made with store-bought crescent dinner rolls and are filled with a bunch of veggies, meat, and cheese! So once you bite into the crispy exterior, you’re met with the ooey-gooey, cheesy meat filling. You can also tweak the filling to make it spicier, meatier or cheesier if you’d like.
You can pair it with a bunch of different sauces and dips like sweet chili, chili oil, and cheese dip to make it fancier.
Needless to say, everyone will be asking for the recipe by the end of the day!
Macaroni and Cheese
We get that Mac and cheese is not a popular brunch dish. But we don’t understand why? It’s easy to make, it’s filling and everyone loves it!
You can make it more versatile by adding veggies or meat to the mix. But a classic Mac n cheese is something everyone will appreciate. Plus it’s kid-friendly so you don’t have to go out of your way to make something for the kids.
A baked Mac and cheese is the perfect way to level up this simple dish. You’re getting the same gooey cheesy dish, with a crispy touch that makes it so much more enjoyable! It also goes well with a lot of appetizer dishes, making it the perfect form of carbs to add to your Easter brunch plate.
Shepherd’s Pie
No holiday food table is complete without some kind of pie! If you’re intimidated by dessert pies, switch things up with a savory Shepherd’s pie. It’s warm, it’s filling, and oh so delicious!
If you’re looking for a way to add a vegetarian dish to your menu, a veggie shepherd’s pie is a great way to do it! Because even though the dish contains no meat, it’s still very delicious and full-filling thanks to the heavenly base of mashed potatoes!
You simply prepare the filling with your choice of vegetables and beans. Then make a fluffy mashed potato concoction and spoon it into the filling around the edges. You let it simmer on the stovetop for a minute or two and voila! Your pie is ready.
If you want, you can always add bacon or ground beef to the filling. Again, there is a lot of room for customization in this dish, so be creative and impress your guests!
