Brunch is the perfect weekend or holiday morning meal. It's perfect for a small or a large gathering and you can design it as formal or as casual as you wish.

A variety of foods should be offered, but brunch egg dishes are always a must!

Why brunch

Brunch is typically halfway between breakfast and lunch time. Although the time can spill over into early afternoon as well. The menu is often served buffet style and is a true crossover of breakfast and lunch foods.

Weekends and holidays are perfect for brunch. It's a great time to have everyone together without having to serve dinner. Almost any celebration can be celebrated with brunch - weddings, baby showers, birthdays, graduation, retirement and every holiday.

Egg dishes are a natural for brunch and there are so many different choices - no need to just choose one! This collection of brunch egg dishes has something for everyone.

Pick the recipes that work best for your brunch!

Make ahead egg casseroles

Casseroles you can make ahead of time are a great idea. All the prep work is completed the night before and then all you need to do is put the casserole dish into the oven in the morning.

Freshly baked and ready to serve for your perfect brunch! If you are looking for a no-stress brunch, try to include at least one make ahead dish.
