Elegant Easter Brunch Menu

I think brunch is the ideal way to celebrate Easter. Brunch is served later in the day, usually just before noon, and can be a heartier meal than breakfast. Even the word 'brunch' evokes a celebration, letting you eat at leisure, enjoying the company of others. And this elegant Easter brunch menu is perfect.

You can make the coffeecake and salads ahead of time. And the pie must be made ahead so it has time to freeze. Enjoy this menu with your family and friends at Easter, or for any spring celebration.

Elegant Easter Brunch Menu

• Swedish Tea Log
  This is my favorite coffeecake of all time. You'll love the tender texture, sweet nut filling, and rich browned butter frosting. I usually double this recipe so there's enough for the next day too.
• Apple Glazed Sausage and Bacon
  Nothing improves bacon except something sweet. The glaze on the sausages and bacon has just the right sweetness.
• Creamy Chicken Dijon Quiche
  This quiche is rich and easy to make. You can use a rotisserie chicken or use cooked turkey from the deli.
• Melon Medley
  A simple and fresh fruit salad is the perfect addition to this elegant menu. Buy the melons a few days ahead of time so they are juicy and ripe for your party.
• Raspberry Mint Chicken Salad
  This easy recipe has the best combination of textures and flavors. I garnished this recipe with some champagne grapes in the picture.
• White Chocolate Cream Pie
  Because this dessert is so rich it should be sliced into thin wedges. Serve it with some raspberries for a pretty garnish.
