What Foods Are On A Brunch Menu?
When it comes to brunch foods, you’ll typically find a combination of breakfast and lunch foods. That’s where the word “brunch” came from, after all. You may also find breakfast foods that are be a bit fancier than usual.
At any given brunch, there’s usually a good range of sweet and savory dishes. Think muffins, sweet breads, and pancakes next to quiche, bacon, and fried eggs.
There’s usually a breakfast-y casserole or two, including our favorite cheesy potatoes. And many of the dishes may have a bit more special feel, with ingredients like prosciutto or crab.
In the end, the best part about brunch is that pretty much anything goes. There are few rules when it comes to brunch food ideas and that’s half of the fun!
Breakfast & Brunch Make Ahead Suggestions
If the idea of making a big breakfast feels a bit overwhelming, don’t worry. Many of these breakfast and brunch food ideas can be fully or partially prepared in advance.
Overnight casseroles, whether it’s an egg bake or oatmeal, are my jam. Just prep them the night before and pop them in the oven in the morning!
Other things, breads and muffins in particular, are also easy to make a day ahead of time, or to partially prepare in advance and then put together in the morning. So whether you’re hosting or just bringing a dish, there’s no need to wake up before the sun!
