10 Colorful Easter Brunch Recipes
Eating Easter brunch at your favorite restaurant can be great. But the waits (even with a reservation) can be legendary. Donโt stand around, glassy-eyed at the hostess stand, as your family and friends get hangry. Thereโs a table you have a standing reservation at 100% of the time. Itโs located in your dining room! These ten easy and delicious Easter brunch recipes will be a big hit with everyone. Bonus: the phrase, โMy compliments to the chef,โ will be aimed at you!
1. Best Apple Turnover Recipe
You donโt need a ton of baking skills to whip up pro-bakery-quality pastries for your Easter brunch blowout. Puff pastry does the heavy lifting for you. Sweet, airy and flaky – these turnovers will have your guests accusing you of being an undercover pastry chef. ย GET THE RECIPE
2. Crustless Quiche with Cheese, Edamame and Sun Dried Tomatoes
For me, the crust has always been kind of a forgettable part of most quiche recipes. So I did away with it – and added tons of healthy edamame beans, savory sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms for an umami punch. Who says healthy canโt taste good? ย GET THE RECIPEย
3. Camembert Cheese Bread with Fig and Onion Jam
The French certainly know their cheese and bread. And each time I make this, I am transported to my childhood home in Quebec. A good, pungent Camembert paired with figs is a terrific combination on itโs own, but the sweetness of the caramelized onions in this recipe sends the flavor profile through the roof! ย GET THE RECIPE
4. Honey Sriracha Oven Baked Salmon
Salmon is already a pretty amazing thing. But this glaze, relying on equal parts sweet, smoky and spicy, kicks things up indeed! The all-time star of this dish is the caramelization that takes place when baking the salmon in the oven. ย GET THE RECIPE
5. Gluten Free Zucchini Bread
When I told my husband I was making gluten free zucchini bread, he looked at me like my head was on fire. Later that day he was devouring the moist, slightly sweet pieces of zucchini bread – with a drizzle of bright honey and yogurt sauce on top – with such gusto that I had to hide the remaining few pieces. ย GET THE RECIPE
6. Baked Zucchini and Crab Omelette (ใซใใจใบใใญใผใใฎใตใใตใใชใ ใฌใ)
Itโs not a quiche, not a frittataโฆ but there are taste elements from both aforementioned egg concoctions. Think of it as a Japanese omelette gratin. Fluffy and savory, this will be a popular dish when you pass it around the table. Better make two! ย GET THE RECIPE
7. Blackened Hasselback Carrots
This simple preparation is all about the details. Itโs mega easy – but requires a few steps to get the perfect texture: tender with a little crunch. Not only is the bright and earthy taste on-point, this is one of those plates you set on the table that elicits more than a few oohs and aahs. Beautiful and tasty! ย GET THE RECIPE
8. Pork Rolls with Teriyaki Sauce
Thinly sliced pork wrapped around crunchy veggies, seared and topped with a savory, sweet Teriyaki sauce is the stuff of dreams (at least my dreams, ha!). The veggies offset the heaviness of the pork and create a flavor and textural balance that is greater than the sum of its parts. ย GET THE RECIPE
9. Spaghetti Squash Yakisoba Style
Iโm a big fan of the texture of spaghetti squash – and love how it mimics noodles. So it stands to reason that it would be a perfect vehicle for a Yakisoba recipe without the actual noodles. Shiitake mushrooms add a meaty, earthy element to this bright, crunchy vegetarian dish that just happens to taste like an indulgent plate of Yakisoba at a late-night izakaya. ย GET THE RECIPE
10. Wasabi Deviled Eggs
Pass a tray of these around and the Easter brunch revelers at your place will go to town on these creamy deviled eggs. Watch your fingers! There is a kick from wasabi that is smoothed out by the mayo. Minimal prep – maximum flavor payoff. ย GET THE RECIPE
