21 Easter Brunch Recipes to Welcome the Arrival of Spring

This classic coffee cake features a double dose of streusel—one in between two layers of coffee cake made with cinnamon and toasted pecans and an additional layer sprinkled on top.

Here's one of our favorite make-ahead brunch dishes! We use store-bought puff pastry which simplifies prep work for this festive spring tart. Its rich filling—made with Gruyère, goat cheese, and cream—features bits of subtly acidic asparagus.

Streamline the process of making egg sandwiches (cooking bacon, scrambling eggs, toasting bread) by combining classic breakfast sandwich ingredients into one big frittata. Once it's ready, all you have to do is slice it into portions and serve each between slices of toast. 

A quiche-gratin hybrid, this easy brunch-worthy dish features a crust comprised of thinly-sliced potatoes, making a visually stunning vessel for the rich egg filling that's flecked with chives, tarragon, and parsley. 

French toast is reimagined as a marvelous make-ahead casserole with blueberries nestled in between layers of baked brioche. Before serving, sprinkle the dish with confectioners' sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. 

This frittata is a master class in putting spring's bounty to use. There's asparagus, fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, and chives (use whatever looks best at the market), goat cheese, and potatoes for the filling and more fresh herbs in the cooling crème fraîche sauce that's served alongside.

When hosting a holiday meal, the last thing you want is a dish that takes a lot of time to make and clean-up. This sheet-pan meal, featuring cauliflower, broccoli, red bell pepper, and spinach, is your one-stop solution. It takes 20 minutes to prepare and the only kitchen tools you'll need are a food processor and baking sheet. 

As delicious as it is visually impressive, this rich, gooey pile of glazed bites bake is a crowd pleaser. Kids will love pulling it apart and everyone will enjoy the sweet cinnamon flavor. 

Buttery leeks and scallions give this tart its depth of flavor while creamy goat cheese adds a welcome richness. The filling is cradled inside our Rye Black-Pepper Brisée crust that has a slightly nutty flavor thanks to the rye flour. 

Make holiday entertaining easier with this egg casserole that can be baked and served in the same dish. Another bonus? It's vegetarian and gluten-free. 

A creamy purée of cauliflower is the filling for this savory tart. It's baked into our Pate Brisée crust. The finishing touch are slices of watermelon radish, which take on a distinctive, flower-like shape when baked. 

Not sure what to do with leftover hard-boiled eggs? Let this be the solution. The whites are stirred into creamy white gravy, while the yolks are crumbled for the topping. The entire dish is assembled on top of buttered toast. 

Oatmeal meets casserole in this breakfast mashup that's flavored with frozen mixed berries, vanilla extract, chopped dates, and crunchy toasted pepitas. The result is a comforting dish that can feed a crowd. 

The substantial combination of spinach, bread, sharp white cheddar cheese, and egg bakes up into a glorious meal that's ready in less than one hour.

​​Packed with cheddar, scallions, and dill, these delightful scones can stand alone served with a pat of butter or use them as a vehicle for your favorite egg sandwich. 

Skip the hassle of poaching eggs, as is the case in traditional eggs Florentine, and opt for this streamlined, five-ingredient version instead. Muffin cups are lined with bread slices and filled with a spinach-egg mixture. Bake until the bread is toasted and the yolks are slightly runny. 

The classics are classic for a reason, and this French toast is no exception. Use a dense bread such as challah, brioche, or sourdough for the tastiest results. Don't forget to sprinkle confectioners' sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top!

Combine some of breakfast's most beloved ingredients—crumbled bacon, shredded Swiss, and egg—into one quiche. Then add baby spinach to the custard mixture for a boost of nutrition.

A host's dream is a dish that tastes even better when it's prepared the night before, and that's what we recommend doing with this strata. The Dijon mustard and smoked paprika egg mixture has extra time to penetrate the bread, ham, and cheese when it's made ahead of time.
