Brunch Foods/recipes?

What are some of your favorite things to eat for brunch??

We are thinking of making one for DS's first birthday and so far I am thinking:

baked french toast
bagels
fruit salad
banana chocolate chip bread
farina muffins
chocolate chip coffee cake
pasta salad
egg salad?
Linzer Tart bars
birthday cake & cupcakes

any ideas on things to add or replace?

Re: Brunch Foods/recipes?

I prefer french toast, but every house guest who has ever stayed over at our place always requests pancakes or waffles.

I like my bagels with special cream cheeses like lox cream cheese, or vegetable cream cheese.

You put a question mark next to egg salad but thats a good, easy brunch item. People like to have it on their bagels or as a regular sandwich. You can also make tuna salad.

Breakfast sausages are always a huge hit.

The fruit salad and banana chocolate chip bread sounds delicious. What about cranberry muffins or scones?

Maybe you can make some mini-quiches for people who like eggs.

I also like hash browns, but that is hard to make and keep warm for a party.

Re: Brunch Foods/recipes?

All great ideas. I'd do a breakfast meat as well, either a pan of bacon, sausage or ham.

OR a cold cut/cheese platter

Tuna salad

specialty cream cheeses/lox

I like the idea of the cheese/cold cut platter.

You can always do a breakfast bake as well in lieu of making eggs. I have a recipe if you would like.

I love fritattas! Bacon and cheese or spinach and zucchini and cheese or potato and spinach...any combination really.

And mimosas of course

Cinnamon rolls are always good. And homemade waffles with topings- LOVE THEM!
