Classic Brunch Ideas and Recipes

A selection of classic brunch ideas and recipes for your next gathering. Includes recipes for breakfast casseroles, pancakes, and waffles, along with menu ideas and brunch party planning tips.

Brunch can be a relaxing time to spend with friends or family and does not have to take all morning to prepare. Many items can be made ahead of time to reduce the time spent in the kitchen.

A good brunch can be done with as few as 3-5 food choices for a smaller group provided there is balance between flavors and colors, and of course a little bit of sweetness in some form to round it out.

To decorate the table, add some candles, a nice floral arrangement in the center and perhaps splurge on some themed napkins or a festive tablecloth.
