77 Easy Easter Brunch Recipes That Will Make Sunday Morning A Breeze
Fuel up for that egg hunt!
If you aren't a big fan of candy, don't have kids (meaning no egg hunting & decorating or visits with the Easter Bunny), and don't want to have a big to-do for dinner, you might think Easter isn't for you. We're here to remind you about Easter brunch—getting to sleep in and then make an event out of the combination of lunch and breakfast? It’s truly the best of both worlds—it’s a combination of the two meals, of course, but also a mix of savory and sweet fare, so everyone can find something to enjoy (even if it's just the mimosas!). Whether you’re serving a crowd or are having a low-key, smaller Easter, this list of 75 Easter bunny-approved brunch ideas is for you.
While cereal and oatmeal are great for weekdays, a special weekend meal calls for pulling out all the stops. This means more involved dishes like cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and French toast. We’ve got lots of recipes for you, including some shortcut ones, like overnight French toast (no need to get up early!) or overnight cinnamon rolls (great for serving a crowd). Now that you’ve got your sweets, round out your brunch table with some savory options too. Our classic quiche or a breakfast casserole like our everything bagel casserole or our egg & hash brown casserole are go-tos for a reason, and couldn't be easier to make. Bonus: They're both great dishes to serve when you want to serve eggs without having to make them to everyone’s preference.
Whatever you make, the key is variety: Try and hit a mix of carbs, protein, and veggies for the best brunch spread ever. And don’t forget the Easter cocktails—no brunch is complete without mimosas and other springy drinks! Want more Easter inspiration? Check out our Easter lunch and Easter dinner ideas too.
Quiche
Quiche is a perennial fave in the canon of classic brunch dishes, and this version is the best. Soft, creamy filling studded with ham, chives, and Gruyère rests inside a crunchy, buttery pie crust to create the breakfast of your dreams.

Brioche French Toast
French toast is already a pretty decadent breakfast, but we’ve got a way to make it extra luxurious: thick-sliced cinnamon twist brioche. Topped with fresh berries, sweet syrup, and a little dusting of confectioners' sugar, this will make any morning special.
Get the Brioche French Toast recipe.
Egg & Hash Brown Casserole
Listen, we love a big breakfast featuring all the usual suspects—fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, a plate of breakfast sausage, and a pile of sautéed spinach for good measure. Enter this casserole, which delivers all those classic breakfast foods in ONE single dish (means a lot less work and dishes!).
Get the Egg & Hash Brown Casserole recipe.
Lemon Blueberry Shortcake
A strawberry shortcake is one of those quintessential spring/summer recipes we can't get enough of—we made this extra fruity version so we can enjoy it even more. The buttery, flaky biscuits here are crowned with a homemade lemon curd (store-bought would be fine!), sweetened blueberries, and an easy whipped cream. It’s tart and sweet—and incredibly good.
Get the Lemon Blueberry Shortcakes recipe.
Peter Cottontail Pancakes
These adorable pancakes might seem tricky, until you break down the basic shapes: one palm-sized pancake (the body), two oval silver dollar ones (the feet), and one medium-sized circle with two ears coming off it (the head). Use Nutella—or even peanut butter—to make the pads of the paws, and a little swirl of whipped cream for the tail, and you're all set!
Get the Peter Cottontail Pancakes recipe.
Pinwheel Sandwiches
These pinwheels are easy to assemble, look great on a platter, and are ideal for an Easter party. To make them, you'll layer flour tortillas with ranch-flavored mayonnaise, sliced cheese, deli meats, and lettuce. All that's left to do is roll them up tightly and slice. See, simple!
Get the Pinwheel Sandwiches recipe.
Spinach-Artichoke Buns
What’s the key to an Easter Sunday dish that people can’t get enough of? Start with a classic, then give it a spin—here we took iconic spinach and artichoke dip and turned it into a bun. Think cinnamon rolls, but instead of sweet, they're savory!
Get the Spinach-Artichoke Buns recipe.
Green Shakshuka
In this take on shakshuka, eggs are cooked in a tangy, spicy salsa verde and topped with Cotija cheese and avocado. The topping choices are endless, however, so add a little chorizo, some toasted pine nuts, or whatever strikes your fancy.
Get the Green Shakshuka recipe.
5-Ingredient Almond Croissant
It's true, homemade croissants aren't the quickest or easiest choice. Until now. For a more convenient approach, we made one giant croissant out of store-bought puff pastry. Only using 5 ingredients, you still get an almond-filled, shatteringly crisp pastry that makes serving a crowd super-simple.
Get the 5-Ingredient Almond Croissant recipe.
Lemon Blueberry Babka
A traditional babka is a braided, sweet yeasted bread filled with chocolate. This summery take is filled with a blueberry sauce and topped in an easy lemon glaze. The twisted bread is striking, with its bright purply-blue swirls throughout. If lemon blueberry is one of your favorite pairings (us too), this needs to be at the top of your list. Our classic lemon blueberry bread should be next!

Potato Chip Frittata
For added crunch, we loaded this frittata with potato chips. We went with sour cream & onion, but feel free to sub in your own favorite flavor! Don't forget to top with chives, sour cream, and even more chips to really make this frittata a next-level breakfast.
Get the Potato Chip Frittata recipe.
Lemon Blueberry Dutch Baby
A Dutch baby is a big puffy and custardy pancake that is baked in the oven, making its edges and top crispy while the center stays soft. This one is made extra special with some blueberries, which burst and get a little jammy while baking. Spread some lemon curd on top for the perfect spring brunch dish.
Get the Lemon Blueberry Dutch Baby recipe.
BLT Eggs Benedict
The classic BLT trio—bacon, eggs, and tomato—gets even better when cooked in the style of eggs Benedict. Crispy, candied bacon and a spiced hollandaise make this eggs Benedict a little different from a traditional one, but you'll love this fun, savory twist on the classic brunch recipe.
Get the BLT Eggs Benedict recipe.
Capirotada
In Mexican culture, capirotada, or Mexican bread pudding, is a popular casserole-style dish that evokes religious significance during the Easter holiday. For this recipe, there’s no need to break out the eggs and cream, either. This type of bread pudding is all about the sweet spiced syrup, so don't skimp on it!
Get the Capirotada recipe.
Pizza Rustica
Don't let the name fool you: Pizza Rustica isn't pizza at all, but rather Italian Easter pie. It's more similar to a quiche in nature, only extra stuffed with meats and cheeses.
Get the Pizza Rustica recipe.
Buckwheat Galettes With Ham & Egg
Like their sweet cousins, crêpes, galettes hail from Brittany, France. Because they're made with buckwheat flour, galettes are extra nutty, making them perfect for pairing with savory fillings for a quick dinner this fall. Here, they're filled with a classic ham, egg, and cheese combination, known as "galette complète" in French, but feel free to switch it up if you like.
Get the Buckwheat Galettes With Ham & Egg recipe.
Easter Bunny Twists
Made with store-bought puff pastry and a quick cinnamon sugar filling, these adorable bunny-shaped pastries will delight everyone at your Easter brunch buffet. Oh, and did we mention the cream cheese frosting bunny tails?

Baked Feta Eggs
Remember that baked feta pasta a la TikTok that took the world by storm? Well, now you can have it for breakfast! Introducing: baked feta eggs. There's no pasta involved, but white beans add a hearty creaminess, and a side of crusty bread or pita is highly encouraged.
