Tips for a Great Easter Brunch
What is a good time to serve brunch? Brunch usually starts between 9 and 10 am. Once you get to 11am you can skip the “br” and just serve lunch. Also, brunch is perfect for a self serve buffet style presentation.
Prep ahead of time: Unlike hosting a dinner, brunch means that you don’t have all day to prepare. Getting things done ahead of time will make the morning go more smoothly.
- Get your grocery shopping done early. Not only will you beat the crowds, but you don’t risk the store being out of a needed item.
- Clean the house
- Decorate and set up tables
- Prep any food items
The menu:
- Plan the menu a week or two in advance. This will help you when you’re out shopping as well as if people ask to bring a dish. You’ll know exactly what items you want to serve and how they can help.
- Include both sweet and savory items to the menu as well as both hot and cold items.
- Incorporate make ahead items to the menu. See individual posts for more info.
- Don’t hesitate to have guests bring a dish, especially a warm dish. Spreading out the making of hot dishes means you can offer more hot dishes with less work on your part.
