Brunch Recipes in this Post
Baked French Toast
Baked French toast is my favorite way to make a brunch classic – it’s so easy! You only need six ingredients, and you can assemble it the night before you want to bake it. The next day, pop it in the oven, and breakfast or brunch is ready.
Breakfast Enchiladas
Breakfast enchiladas are another favorite make-ahead brunch recipe. Scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, beans, and green chile are rolled up in flour tortillas. Add some enchilada sauce and shredded cheese for the finishing touch! This is a great recipe to make ahead if you’re hosting brunch or need a breakfast to take along to a weekend celebration.
Sheet Pan Pancakes
If you love pancakes but hate standing at the stove waiting for them to cook, these sheet pan pancakes are for you. The pancake batter is so easy to make, and all you do is pour it into a sheet pan, add your favorite fruit or other toppings, and bake! The pancakes are so light and fluffy – perfect with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Strata
If you’re looking for a savory make-ahead breakfast dish, this ham strata is a great one to try. It has veggies, eggs, bread, and cheese layered in a baking dish. Prepare it the night before to make the morning really easy!
Vegetable Cream Cheese
Homemade vegetable cream cheese is easy to make and perfect for breakfast and brunch! This version is made with fresh red onion, carrots, celery, and herbs, but you can customize it with your favorite flavors. For an epic bagel platter, serve your veggie cream cheese with toasted bagels, smoked salmon, and other toppings.
Salsa Verde Eggs
What I love best about salsa eggs is that they look fancy but are so easy to make. If you’re feeling extra, use homemade salsa verde, but your favorite jarred salsa makes it super easy. The eggs are cooked in salsa verde, served over corn tortillas, and topped with crumbled cheese, cilantro, and sliced avocado.
Banana Walnut Muffins
These banana walnut muffins are of the extra-large variety with a sweet, buttery streusel and studded with chopped walnuts. They’re a great sweet treat if you’re hosting brunch.
Fruit Salad
If you’re planning a brunch, this breakfast fruit salad must be on the menu. It’s light, refreshing, not overly sweet, and easy to make. Fresh strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and bananas with a zingy citrus-mint dressing – it’s a wonderful brunch side dish.
Breakfast Tacos
Savory weekend breakfast tacos with a hearty potato black bean filling and soft scrambled eggs are topped with salsa, cilantro, and cheese. They’re a little bit messy and totally satisfying.
Raspberry Muffins
These raspberry muffins are bursting with tart raspberries and are so easy to make. All you need are simple baking ingredients, and you’ll have a fresh-baked batch of homemade muffins in no time.
Banana Pancakes
Banana pancakes made with mashed bananas, flour, milk, sugar, and some nutmeg are a special weekend breakfast treat. They’re soft, fluffy, and perfect with a pat of warm butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Lemon Bread
This lemon bread has a bright citrus flavor and an extra zing from a touch of ginger paste in the glaze. It’s a great treat for breakfast or brunch.
Caprese Frittata
This Caprese frittata, inspired by the classic Italian salad, features all the fresh flavors of tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella. It’s a super easy dish to make for a weekend brunch!
Blueberry Breakfast Casserole
If you’re looking for a decadent breakfast casserole, this blueberry bagel breakfast casserole is for you! It’s made with blueberry bagels, cream cheese, and frozen blueberries that are baked together in a rich custard. The top is toasty, and the inside is custardy-soft. You can assemble it the night before and bake it in the morning for an easy breakfast that serves a crowd.
Buttermilk Dutch Baby
A Dutch baby is a baked pancake with a rich custard-like texture, puffy, crispy edges, and a subtle tangy flavor from the buttermilk in the batter. It’s easy to make, goes with all the pancake toppings, and is a pretty centerpiece for breakfast or brunch.
