23 Easter Brunch Recipes

TL;DR: These 23 Easter brunch recipes make it easy to build a holiday menu at home without spending the whole morning in the kitchen. You'll find casseroles, egg bakes, muffins, hashes, and lighter brunch ideas for a range of eating styles, plus tips on how to store this meal prep, can I freeze this, and the best way to reheat leftovers.

Easter Sunday brunch has become a customary tradition even for those who may not be particularly religious. Brunch gives us an opportunity to pause in the spring, just as the weather is (hopefully) beckoning us outdoors a bit more.

And if you've ever tried making a reservation for brunch for Easter (or Mother's Day, for that matter!), you know it can be tough to get a table. Make brunch at home instead! If you've made it through Lent (and maybe tried our meal preps for Lent), you know it's time for Easter.

Whether you want a hearty casserole, something lighter and veggie-forward, or a few grab-and-go options, there's plenty here to help you build a brunch that fits your table. For more holiday-friendly inspiration, I always like browsing the Recipe Index or checking out these High Protein Recipes.
