Looking for simple Easter Brunch menu ideas you will love? Here are my suggestions on how to keep your day easy and low stress!
Every Easter morning before the sun would come out, my three kids would wake me up and ask if they could now look for their Easter baskets.
Tired and clearly still groggy, I would roll out of bed, throw on my robe, and tell my husband to wake up too. Then we all would venture downstairs together to watch our three cuties search for the baskets that the Easter Bunny had once again hidden for them to find.
Side note – did you grow up having to look for your basket? It was my family’s replacement for a Easter egg hunt. But honestly, I always found it more fun than looking for eggs with just one piece of candy in them anyway!
We would then get all gussied up for Easter mass and brunch after at a local restaurant to celebrate the holiday.
My kids are grown now and my two daughters often times end up going to the Coachella music festival instead of coming home for Easter so I have had to find different ways to celebrate the holiday.
Thus a backyard Easter brunch with family members and friends emerged as the plan almost ten years ago!
My Easter brunch menu doesn’t actually change much year after year.
I mean – if it makes my mouth water year after year – why would I have to- right?

A Simple Easter Brunch Menu
German Pancakes
I started making German pancakes when I was in middle school. A friend of mine had made them for me on a sleepover and I have been hooked ever since!!
Find my favorite German pancake recipe here.
It is a family favorite and is made for every big holiday (ie Easter, Christmas, birthdays). Although more recently, my husband has been trying to make them an every weekend treat- and who am I to refuse??
Be sure to save this recipe to your Pinterest boards because yes it is really that good!!
Broccoli, Cheddar, and Bacon Quiche
Years ago I found this quiche recipe from Martha Stewart that has been a favorite every time I make it.
I make two quiches anywhere from one week to a month in advance, wrap it thoroughly in aluminum foil and freeze until Easter morning.
Here is the easiest way I found upon googling how to handle a premade frozen quiche: don’t thaw but rather put it into a cold oven. Then turn the oven on to 400°F. The quiche will thaw with the rising temperature. When your oven has reached 400°, leave your quiche in there for another 30-45 minutes (until the center of the quiche is warm to the touch).
These pie weights are my favorite to use when baking the quiche crust and these quiche dishes are the best for baking and serving!
Bacon
I bake my bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet at 450º for about ten minutes. Then using tongs, I flip the slices over and cook for another 5-8 minutes.
This way it is actually cooking in its own grease.
Yea – I know not the healthiest side dish. But honestly I don’t think bacon can ever be considered healthy anyway – right?
So you might as well just embrace the holiday and plan on eating healthy on another day ;).
I bake my bacon early in the morning and then keep it warm in this crock pot.
Potato Stacks with Fresh Thyme
I accidentally happened across this recipe on the Williams Sonoma website about five years ago. And being that I am an anything potato-aholic, of course I knew this was sure to be a favorite of mine and my family’s ;).
Be sure to allow for one hour to prep and one hour to bake them.
I made this recipe for my Galentine’s Day party in February this year and decided to slice them a few hours before baking them.
They did oxidize and turn slightly brown but that did not affect the flavor at all. And this recipe calls for baking the potatoes to a crisp so the oxidized brown look goes away after cooking anyway if you want to make them a few hours ahead of time.
Roasted Asparagus with Lemon
Is there any other vegetable that says spring more than asparagus??
Peak months for this tasty vegetable are April and May. There are so many delicious recipes out there for how to cook asparagus. But for Easter brunch, I try to keep everything as simple as possible.
So a recipe this simple that you bake in the oven is pretty perfect!
Fresh Strawberries with Marshmallow Dip
And the fruit that literally means spring and Easter to me is strawberries! We live right down the street from an AMAZING (and large) strawberry field so getting an entire flat of strawberries is a norm every spring and especially Easter for us.
And my entire family is addicted to a CRAZY SIMPLE marshmallow cream and cream cheese dip that we serve with our strawberries.
Use an electric mixer to whip one 7 oz can of marshmallow creme with one 8 oz cube of cream cheese until fluffy and well whipped. And serve!
Yup – it’s THAT EASY!
As you can see above, I also have Easter candies on the dessert table and pound cake to go with the strawberries if anyone desires strawberry shortcake ;).
The over the table rod above is used for almost every holiday since I purchased it a few years ago – it is a party decor staple of mine now ;).
And the latest version of my Happy Easter garland can be found here.
A Sumptuous Spring Cocktail
There are a million and one delicious cocktails out there! But once again – simple and easy is key for Easter brunch for me.
Blake Lively’s Betty Buzz drinks are always a fun item to serve to a crowd and are great cocktail mixers!
You can also keep it super simple with mimosas with a raspberry and rosemary sprig as the extra festive touch ;).
I hope you found this post with simple Easter brunch menu ideas you will love super helpful for your holiday celebration.
I am sure chocolate Easter bunnies and jelly beans will also have a place at the table with you and your loved ones. Just be sure to take a look around you and be in the moment as much as you can ;).

You have given me so many ideas for Easter brunch Pasha. Everything looks delicious, and your table is beautiful.
Well dang, I wish I lived near you and were invited over for Easter! Your daughters are missing out. And we didn’t find our Easter baskets. We made nests with grass outside and the Easter bunny filled them overnight. Not sure where the nests came from. Weird thing was we never questioned it. LOL. Fun hop and scrumptious menu! Enjoy.
Pasha, this looks so goooood!!! That pancake is amazing!
