If you're trying to take mom out to a restaurant for Mother's Day, you'd better come prepared to wait because it is the busiest day of the year for restaurants.
Instead, enjoy your mom's company and make her a homemade brunch spread featuring any of these incredible recipes.
1. Raspberry Cream Crepes
Slightly sweet, slightly tart, and incredibly luscious, these raspberry crepes are always a delight. Not only are they delicious with their creamy raspberry filling, but they look beautiful on the plate.
2. Omelet Roll
If mom prefers something a little more savory, this ham and cheese omelet roll is a great choice. The savory, salty ham and rich melted cheddar all wrapped in a bundle of perfectly set eggs will make for a meal mom won't soon forget.
3. Prime Rib Eggs Benedict
Make mom feel like the queen she is with this incredible prime rib eggs benedict! It's an impressive brunch recipe due to the addition of hearty prime rib paired with the classic poached egg and hollandaise sauce.
4. Baked Denver Omelet
If you've never been able to flip an omelet, bake it instead! This easy recipe is perfect for serving the whole family.
A mixture of eggs, crisp veggies, savory ham, and sharp cheddar cheese is baked until irresistibly fluffy and satisfying.
5. Sheet Pan Pancakes
This is another incredibly easy brunch recipe that can be made in a jiffy and customized with mom's favorite pancake toppings. Fresh fruit, whipped cream, or just good old-fashioned maple syrup or honey will make this quick giant pancake feel extra special.
6. Sourdough French Toast
If French toast is more of mom's thing, this sourdough French toast is reminiscent of your favorite brunch spot. It has a rich maple and vanilla coating that will keep you savoring every bite.
7. Bisquick Waffles
These classic Bisquick waffles are so quick and easy to make. It will likely remind you of your childhood and mom of hers.
Sometimes simple recipes are the most delicious and after all, it's the thought that counts.
8. Pineapple Banana Bread
A moist and fluffy banana bread gets the day started off right, and the addition of pineapple adds a unique flavorful element that mom likely hasn't tried before. It's also perfect for gifting if you don't have time for a sit-down brunch.
9. Sausage Egg & Cheese Casserole
Another hearty and savory option, this sausage egg and cheese breakfast casserole will easily feed the whole family. Add some herbs and vegetables for a heartier flavor.
Just make sure mom knows you made it especially for her.
10. Classic Cinnamon Rolls (with icing or frosting)
A breakfast (or brunch) classic, you can't go wrong with cinnamon rolls. A sweet vanilla icing makes them irresistible. Or top them with tangy, delicious cream cheese frosting.
Homemade cinnamon rolls are wonderful on any occasion, but on Mother's day they are an extra special treat. Especially if you offer them to her with a good cup of coffee.
11. Banana Bread Pudding
Mother's day is a holiday and we all know calories don't count on holidays. Serve mom dessert for brunch with this fabulous chocolate chip banana nut bread pudding.
12. Lobster Breakfast Sandwich
Nothing says luxury like lobster and it's even more impressive when paired with creamy scrambled eggs and asparagus on a toasted brioche bun. This is a recipe that will truly make mom feel special.
13. Dutch Baby Pancakes
Try your hand at making some easy Dutch baby pancakes from scratch. Lay out a spread of mom's favorite fruits and toppings like my roasted berries or stewed rhubarb, and enjoy a quick brunch together.
14. Blueberry Pancakes
Of all the Mother's Day brunch recipes, this one is the most classic: blueberry pancakes. With my homemade blueberry syrup, they are more than just your average pancakes; you can taste the time and love poured into every bite.
15. Strawberry Buttermilk Crepes
No one can resist a fabulous crepe brunch, and some refreshing homemade whipped cream and sliced strawberries really tie it all together. They only take minutes to make, so you can focus on enjoying brunch together.
16. Candied Bacon
I bake this sweet and savory candied bacon until perfectly crisp and caramelized, for a memorable and irresistible brunch side dish. It's hard to believe bacon could get any better, but it can.
17. Quiche Florentine
Quiche Florentine is a classic spinach quiche with a rich, creamy custard filling baked in a buttery, flaky pie crust. It’s an elegant entree that’s perfect for celebrating Mom for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.
18. Apple Pie French Toast Casserole
My apple pie French toast casserole combines warm apple pie filling with fluffy French toast and an oatmeal streusel topping. It's an easy brunch recipe you can even make ahead of time, just pop it in the oven and serve.
19. French Toast Muffins
My French toast muffins are soft, cinnamon-spiced, and baked to golden perfection in individual servings. I like to add powdered sugar and whatever fresh berries I have for the finishing touches.
20. Maraschino Cherry Coffee Cake
A moist maraschino cherry coffee cake studded with cherries and topped with a buttery crumb topping is a fabulous addition to any brunch table. It's one of my most popular coffee cakes and one of the easiest to make.
21. Sour Cream Scrambled Eggs
Sour cream scrambled eggs are ultra-creamy and fluffy with a rich, velvety texture that is so much better than basic eggs. They’re simple yet luxurious and ready to eat in minutes.
22. Huevos Rancheros
Huevos rancheros have crispy tortillas topped with fried eggs, warm salsa, and savory toppings for a hearty Mexican-inspired brunch. It's a bold and flavorful breakfast that is perfect for moms who like a little spice.
23. Duck Fat Fried Potatoes
Duck fat fried potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with rich, buttery flavor. They’re the ultimate brunch potato side dish that’s restaurant-worthy and mom-approved.
24. Creamy Grape Salad
My creamy grape salad combines juicy grapes with a luscious cream cheese dressing, brown sugar or cinnamon sugar, and pecans or slivered almonds. Fruit salads in general are a great way to break up savory meals with something light and refreshing.
My fresh fruit salad, easy fruit cocktail salad, or Greek yogurt fruit salad would be great for brunch, too.
25. Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta
Treat Mom to something truly special with creamy smoked salmon pasta. The garlic Parmesan cream sauce and salmon pasta come together in just 15 minutes, making it a deliciously simple lunch.
26. Toasted Coconut Macarons
My toasted coconut macarons are a decadent and delightful cookie that is the perfect finishing touch to any brunch spread. With crisp coconut shells, white chocolate coconut ganache, and a coating of toasted coconut, they’re as beautiful as they are delicious.
27. Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions
Packed with earthy mushroom and slightly sweet onion flavor, sautéed onions and mushrooms are incredibly versatile. Serve them as a tasty side dish or use them to top omelets, breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, or scrambled eggs.
28. Chocolate Chip Baked Donuts
My chocolate chip cake donuts are an easy alternative to traditional fried donuts, with plenty of melted chocolate chips in every bite. Baked in the oven for a mess-free treat, they’re perfect for a quick Mother's Day treat.
If your Mom isn’t a fan of chocolate, try my lemon sugar baked donuts instead (I recommend the added lemon zest for even more flavor).
29. Mimosa Mocktail (or Cocktail)
A sparkling mimosa mocktail is a festive, citrusy drink that’s perfect for toasting Mom without the alcohol, or add champagne for a classic mimosa cocktail. With fresh berries and a twist of orange, these bright and bubbly drinks are the perfect beverage for an early lunch.
💭 Tips For Making Mom A Perfect Brunch
- Personalize it. Think about your mom's favorite foods and flavors. Does she prefer sweet or savory? Choose dishes you know she'll truly enjoy.
- Balance the menu. Pick a mix of sweet and savory recipes. For a brunch spread, add something light and fresh like a fruit salad, and a sweet treat or two.
- Put effort into the presentation. Use your nice serving dishes. A pretty table setting with flowers and linens (napkins and or a tablecloth) will show how much consideration went into the meal.
- Utilize make-ahead options. If you are low on time on Mother's Day, pick recipes that can be prepped or even fully made in advance. Casseroles, overnight oats, and fruit salads can be prepared the day before.
- Add a personal touch. A handwritten card, flowers, or simply sharing heartfelt appreciation are great Mother's Day gifts that will make the meal even more special to your Mom.

29+ Best Mother's Day Brunch Recipes: Leftover Prime Rib Breakfast Burritos (+More Tasty Ideas!)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 large eggs (room temperature, whisked, and scrambled)
- 1 lb prime rib roast (leftover prime rib, roast beef, or steak - sliced or cut into small chunks)
- 4 large flour tortillas (see recipe or use burrito size tortillas)
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese (shredded - or a combination with Monterey Jack or use Colby Jack)
- 1 large tomato (or pico de gallo)
- 1 large avocado (or guacamole)
- 1 cup white rice (optional - or use cilantro lime rice)
- 8 oz black beans (optional - drained, about ½ of a 15 ounce can)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C/Gas Mark ½).
- Slice your leftover 1 lb prime rib roast portion into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, or chunks. Place the prime rib portion into a sheet of aluminum foil to make a pouch around the cut beef. For added moisture, you can drizzle a bit of beef broth over the prime rib slices before sealing the aluminum foil pouch.
- Place your aluminum foil pouch with the prime rib in the preheated oven and warm the leftover prime rib portion for 5-10 minutes. *Depending on how warm you want the beef. If you opt to grill your burrito, the lower warming time should work nicely.
- Scramble your 6 large eggs in a large skillet or frying pan by melting the 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce heat to medium-low and add whisked eggs to the center of the skillet. Let the edges set, then pull toward the center of the pan. Repeat to cook all portions of the scrambled eggs. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat each 4 large flour tortillas before assembling the burritos. Microwave the tortillas for 15 seconds each or warm them for 30 seconds per side in a skillet over medium heat.
- Layer the fillings (prime rib, ¼ cup cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, 1 large tomato, 1 large avocado, plus optional 8 oz black beans and 1 cup white rice) in a line down the center of each tortilla, portioning the fillings out equally between the four tortillas.
- Roll the burritos by folding up the opposite ends (at the ends of the filling), then tucking up the bottom around the fillings and the folded tortilla ends. Continue tucking tightly as you roll the burrito to enclose the fillings.
Grilled Prime Rib Breakfast Burritos
- Bring a large skillet to medium-high heat and coat lightly with cooking oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Place each burrito, seam side down, and cook for about one minute or until lightly golden brown. Flip and cook the opposite side (and edges too if desired).
Notes
- Heat the optional (drained and rinsed) black beans until warmed, either in the microwave or in a skillet. Heat the skillet with a drizzle of olive oil to medium heat, then cook the beans until warm.
- Make your white rice with cilantro and lime juice by adding the juice of 1 large lime plus ¼ cup fresh, chopped cilantro. Mix then layer with the other fillings.
