With Easter approaching, I wanted to come up with tasty but simple menu ideas to serve our guests. One of my favourite meals to serve is breakfast or brunch, so this Spring I thought it would be fun to host a beautiful brunch to celebrate Easter. Let me show you some simple Easter table decor, as well as some easy Easter Brunch ideas!

I’m excited to be part of The Year of Feasting blog hop this year hosted by Dannyelle of Life is a Party. We’re going to be throwing 4 parties in our homes this year, and documenting all of the ideas here on our blogs. Make sure to click on all of the other blog posts at the end of this post to see more meal ideas!
For my party, I’m hosting an Easter / Spring themed brunch. This is a gathering of 7 people – my immediate family and my parents – so it’s not a huge crowd. I’m leaving the leaf out of our table this time, and my two oldest daughters can pull up a stool at the island to eat.
The Simple Easter Brunch Menu
This easy brunch menu is a savory delight, and it’s not overly complicated to prepare! It features simple ingredients and quick recipes so that you can enjoy your Easter Sunday.
- my easy eggs benedict (made even easier for a crowd; I’ll explain below)
- fresh fruit platter
- crispy bacon
- boiled eggs
- croissants
- orange juice
If you want to make this meal “brunchier”, you could also throw in a veggie platter, or add a steamed veg like asparagus.
Making Eggs Bendict for a Crowd
To make my easy eggs benedict recipe work for the timing of a larger meal, I pre-toasted my english muffins and then laid them in a casserole dish. I made my easy hollandaise sauce with lemon as per usual, fried some ham and eggs, and then assembled my bennies in the casserole dish. You could also use a sheet pan. I often find timing everything perfectly a little stressful when it comes to large dinners, so any advance prep is helpful!
Then, while I cooked & prepped everything else, I simply popped the dish of eggs benedict into the lower oven in my range on the “warming” setting. They stay warm and they’ll be ready to grab when everything else is ready! Easy. After warming, you can sprinkle these with chives or parsley to make them look fancy.
Simple Easter Table Setting
For the table setting, I layered my favourite aqua grooved plates over some fringed napkins. I also used these simple white textured plates I had on hand.
I thought these sweet little bird’s nests were an adorable plate topper. I’ve been using them everywhere in my Spring decor.
An aqua runner and a jug filled with purple flowers completes this light and Springy tablescape for our Easter brunch.
Serving the Food Family-Style
When I host get-togethers, I usually serve the food buffet style on our island. However, this time I’ve decided to serve everything family style in the center of the table. I think it’s fun to have such an interesting variety of foods at everyone’s fingertips. Everyone can easily pick and choose things as they please!
More Easter Brunch Menu Ideas
Want to add more to this Easter brunch idea? Here are some additional menu items you could include:
- chocolate covered strawberries
- French toast (I like this make-ahead recipe from Spend with Pennies!)
- coffee cake (my Grandma’s German marble bundt cake would be amazing for an Easter morning!)
- swap the orange juice out for some mocktails or cocktails to make this brunch extra-fancy
- cinnamon rolls (have you tried my best cinnamon bun recipe ever?)
- waffles with blueberry or raspberry sauce (here is my best waffle recipe, or try this fun twist: waffle eggs benedict)
- quiche, or mini egg bites
- salad (try one of my favourite salads from my Yummy Whole Food Recipes blog!)
Happy Spring and happy Easter!
