Menu ideas for Mother's Day brunch

For probably 7 people.

I'm thinking quiche (few varieties), salad, not sure what else. I'm at a loss.

I'm not a big entertainer, so I don't have many ideas.

Re: Menu ideas for Mother's Day brunch

Here is a great recipe...it's very easy, you put it together the night before and then bake it that morning.

If you don't like peaches, you can get cinnamon raisin bread from the super market (waldbaums has a nice one in the bakery department, not sliced) and you can put extra raisins in the bottom of the pan in stead of peaches.


PEACHES – N- CRÈME FRENCHTOAST

½ c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
2 TBSP corn syrup (kayro – white)
29 oz can peaches (drain and slice into pieces)
1 loaf French bread cubed (can substitute w/Italian)
8 oz Philly cream cheese, cut into small chunks
12 eggs
1 ½ c. half & half
1 tsp vanilla


In small saucepan: Melt butter, brown sugar & kayro syrup until bubbly

-Pour into greased 9 x 13” pan
-Top w/peaches
-Spread cubed bread over top
-Cream Cheese over top

Blender: combine eggs, half & half, vanilla

-Pour egg mixture over cream cheese/bread layers
-Cover & refrigerate overnight

Bake 350 degrees uncovered for 50-60 minutes
