Whether you are planning for breakfast, lunch, or somewhere in between, these brunch recipes are perfect for sharing with family on Easter Sunday. From crepes to casseroles, there are sweet and savory options, so there's something here for everyone.
With good food on the table, some mimosa mocktails (champagne for the grownups), and your friends and family gathered around, you'll look forward to hosting Easter brunch every year. And they'll look forward to it, too.
1. Baked Eggs
There's something elegant about giving everyone their own perfectly baked egg in a ramekin. The recipe is super simple, but you'll feel like you're dining out at a popular brunch spot.
2. Air Fryer Bacon
Using the air fryer gets rid of all the usual stress of making bacon. There's no popping grease, and cleanup is a breeze. Plus, the bacon comes out delightfully crispy every time.
3. Strawberry Buttermilk Crepes
Kids and adults will enjoy these delicate buttermilk crepes. I top them off with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, but you can customize them with any of your favorite fruits.
4. Cinnamon Roll Casserole
You can use cinnamon rolls straight from the tube or leftover baked cinnamon rolls to make this sweet breakfast casserole. It's a quick 30-minute recipe that can feed 12 hungry people.
5. Hashbrown Crust Sausage Cheddar Quiche
This unique breakfast quiche ditches the traditional shortcrust pastry for a crispy hashbrown crust. The filling is made with butter, eggs, cream, cheddar cheese, and chives and baked into a wonderfully fluffy and creamy Easter brunch recipe.
6. Overnight French Toast Bake
This recipe will save you time on Easter because you can prepare it the night before and simply bake it in the morning. A creamy mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and eggs soaks into the bread as it sits in the fridge overnight, which makes for the most incredible French toast.
7. Southern Shrimp and Grits
If your family has a hearty appetite, shrimp and grits are a classic Southern brunch recipe that will have everyone coming back for seconds. The grits are cheesy and warm, with plump shrimp nestled on top.
8. Omelet Roll
All the flavor of a gourmet ham omelet rolled up into one giant, cheesy, sliceable omelet roll. It boasts a whopping 12 servings, so it's much easier than preparing everyone their own omelet.

9. Duck Fat Fried Potatoes
The secret ingredient to these rich and buttery fried potatoes? Duck fat! You can order it online if you can't source it nearby, and trust me, the results are worth it.
10. Homemade Waffles
Not only are homemade waffles lightyears better than frozen (sorry, Eggo), but you can even make the batter in advance or bake them and freeze them yourself. That way, on Easter morning, you have waffles ready to go.
Be sure to serve them with tasty waffle toppings for the best brunch experience.
11. Chorizo and Eggs
If you enjoy Mexican flavor, try serving chorizo and eggs. I love to set up a breakfast bar with homemade tortillas, fresh pico, bacon, restaurant-style Mexican rice, and beans. Then, everyone can build their breakfast tacos.
12. Apple Pie French Toast Casserole
The flavors of apple pie and French toast come together to make one delicious casserole. You can cut down on prep time by using canned apple pie filling, but homemade apple pie filling truly takes it to another level.
13. Apple Banana Muffins
The warm spiced aroma of freshly baked apple-banana muffins will have everyone scrambling to the kitchen. The soft muffins are topped off with a sweet brown sugar streusel topping that adds just the right amount of crunch.
14. Hashbrown Casserole
This creamy and cheesy hashbrown casserole is a perfect dupe of the signature version from Cracker Barrel. It would make a wonderful side dish for your favorite brunch recipes.
15. Polenta
Polenta is incredibly versatile and tastes incredible with just about any protein, especially eggs. I make mine extra creamy with Parmesan cheese for an easy base or side dish that you can pair with any recipe.
16. Maraschino Cherry Coffee Cake
This coffee cake has ribbons of cinnamon sugar throughout, with a decadent cherry crumb topping on top. You can even add some vanilla icing for an extra pop of sweetness that tastes fantastic with freshly brewed coffee.

17. Chicken Fried Cube Steak
Chicken fried steak may not be the first thing you think of when you hear 'brunch', but in the South, it's on every breakfast menu! Pair it with crispy bacon, sunny-side-up eggs, and country gravy for a hearty brunch your family will love.
18. Sheet Pan Pancakes
If you are serving a crowd and don't want to spend all day flipping flapjacks, these sheet-pan pancakes are the perfect solution. They bake up just as soft and fluffy as classic pancakes, but there's no flipping required.
19. Avocado Egg Bake
Delicious and nutritious, these avocado egg bakes are a welcome addition to any brunch spread. With a runny baked egg in the center and a few tasty toppings, you won't even miss the carbs.
20. Baked Denver Omelet
This fluffy baked Denver omelet is easy to prepare and slices beautifully! It's loaded with ham, cheddar cheese, bell peppers, and onions so it makes a great main course for brunch.
21. Lobster Breakfast Sandwich
A lobster breakfast sandwich will certainly leave a lasting impression. It's made with a freshly baked brioche bun that is topped with creamy scrambled eggs, tender asparagus spears, and juicy chunks of fresh lobster.
22. Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Bread
My moist and flavorful chocolate chip banana nut bread is a perfect addition to your Easter brunch menu. Packed with ripe bananas, crunchy nuts, and melty chocolate chips, it's an easy make-ahead treat that isn't too sweet.
23. Hot Cross Buns
These soft and spiced hot cross buns studded with dried fruit and topped with a signature icing cross are a traditional Easter favorite. They’re perfect for serving warm with butter or alongside savory brunch recipes.

This vibrant, fresh fruit salad features a mix of juicy, colorful fruit tossed in a light and refreshing honey lemon dressing. It’s a naturally sweet, refreshing side dish that works wonderfully for breakfast or lunch.

A ham loaf is an old-school Easter classic, featuring ground ham and pork baked to perfection. It’s a delicious main course for Easter brunch coated in a sweet and tangy brown sugar Dijon glaze.
27. Sun-Dried Tomato Quiche

27+ Best Easter Brunch Ideas: Hash Brown Crust Sausage Cheddar Quiche (+More Great Recipes!)
Ingredients
Hash Brown Crust
- 20 oz hash browns (I used the refrigerated Simply Potatoes)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Quiche Filling
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ½ medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 6 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 4 sausage patties (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon chives (thinly sliced, plus more for garnish)
- ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper (to taste)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- Squeeze as much liquid as you can from your hashbrowns and then place them into a large mixing bowl.
- In the same bowl, add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan before pressing the hashbrown mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Make sure there are no holes in the hashbrown crust in order to prevent the filling from leaking.
- Place the pan into the freezer and allow it to chill for 1 hour.
Make the Quiche
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Once preheated, transfer the frozen crust to the oven and par-bake it for 15 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter before adding in the onion and sauteeing for 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until light and fluffy.
- Add the caramelized onions, crumbled sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chives, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the eggs and mix to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture into the par-baked hashbrown crust and then transfer it to the oven.
- Immediately lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs have just been set.
- Remove the baked quiche from the oven and carefully run a knife around the outside edge of the crust. Loosen the springform pan and then place the quiche back into the oven to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes in order to achieve a crisp crust.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- 4 sausage patties can be swapped out for 6-8 sausage links.
- The refrigerated Simply Potatoes will have less moisture than frozen hash browns. However, you can also use frozen - just make sure to squeeze out all of the moisture!
- Make sure that there are no holes in your hashbrown crust! If you leave any spaces, the filling will leak once you pour it into the pan.
- You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the hash brown crust into the springform pan. This helps to make the crust nice and even.
- To make ahead or freeze: Completely assemble and bake the quiche as directed. Allow it to cool completely and then place it into the freezer until frozen solid. Then, wrap it tightly in multiple layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil, and return it to the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), unwrap the quiche and place it onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- To store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: Reheat individual pieces in the microwave or oven. If reheating a larger amount or the entire quiche, place the leftovers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until heated to your liking.
