Easter brunch is one of those Easter traditions that can't be missed. While a few individuals like to take the breakfast approach and some like to take the lunch approach, a middle ground will please your visitors and provide a large selection of exquisite treats. The key is to stay little - the smaller the nibble, the easier it is for you to make and for your guests to feel just like they have had their fill without you needing to make enough food for an entire army. Here are some great Easter brunch recipes.
The Beverages
It is critical to serve alcoholic along with non-alcoholic drinks for Easter brunch. Mimosas and Bloody Marys are standard, but you can also mix it up by providing themed drinks like spicy Micheladas (Bloody Marys with beer instead of vodka) or Bellinis (Prosecco and a fruit puree, historically peaches).
The Appetisers
Deviled eggs are the perfect way to use up those leftover hardboiled eggs from the Easter egg hunt. Cut your 10 hard boiled eggs in half, and take away the yolks. In a bowl, mix together the yolks, a touch of salt, a touch of pepper, a handful of chives, 1/4 cup dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Scoop the yolks into your egg whites and scatter with sweet paprika. It is a classic recipe but a festive recipe for Easter.
You can also put out a cheese platter, shrimp cocktail, or fruit to compliment the decadent Deviled Eggs.
The Main Course
In the theme of keeping it straightforward, it is wonderful to create mini stuffed French toast, or a Bagel and loches plate with smoked salmon. To make mini stuffed French toast, take a loaf of Brioche and cut it into thick slices. Cut those slices once horizontally and once vertically to make four mini French toast pieces. Dip in a mix of eggs, cinnamin, sugar and good vanilla, and cook on a hot, buttered skillet. Serve on a toothpick with maple syrup dipping sauce. If you are feeling fancy you can create maple syrup whipping cream to splash on top of the french toast slices. Fold maple syrup into some cool whip, or double cream (whip just until it creates semi-sturdy tops).
