What Is a Good Menu for Easter Brunch?

Planning a church Easter breakfast or brunch? The perfect menu usually includes a savory main dish, a baked breakfast item, fresh fruit, and something sweet. Here are a few ideas to build an easy menu for your gathering:

Baked Ham: A traditional Easter favorite, often glazed with honey, mustard, or a sweet fruit sauce. It’s easy to slice and serve to a crowd.

Quiche Lorraine: A savory pastry filled with eggs, cheese, bacon or ham, and vegetables. Try my mini quiches. They’re easier to serve at a buffet.

Breakfast Casserole: A crowd-friendly dish made with eggs, cheese, breakfast meats, and bread. My Breakfast Casserole with Hashbrowns or my Easter Breakfast Casserole is especially easy to prepare ahead.

Fruit and Vegetable Platters: Fresh fruit like strawberries, grapes, and oranges adds color and balance to the table. My kids love to dip veggies in my Easy Appetizer Dip!

Cinnamon Rolls: A sweet brunch classic that’s always popular. Try my Cinnamon Rolls for the kids at church and my easy Homemade Overnight Cinnamon Rolls that you can prep the night before and bake before leaving for church.
