Are you planning a gathering for Easter? I have the perfect Easter brunch recipes for you to try that will impress your guests and leave everyone full and satisfied. There’s something for everyone on my list, from kids to vegetarians.
25+ Must-Try Easter Brunch Recipes That’ll Impress Your Guests
1. Baked Prosciutto and Egg Breakfast Tart
A delicious breakfast tart loaded with savory prosciutto, eggs, healthy greens, cheese and fresh lemon juice. Using premade puff pastry dough will save you so much time when preparing these tarts. Don’t forget the everything bagel seasoning, which adds so much flavor to the crust. If you don’t like arugula, you can use kale or spinach. Ham or bacon would also work well if you don’t like prosciutto.
2. Spring Brunch Board
Spring brunch boards are all the rage right now, and it’s easy to see why. You can customize your board any way you like, but this recipe calls for so many yummy brunch classics like roasted baby potatoes, hardboiled eggs, asparagus, radishes, olives and sugar snap peas. Tasty Dijon mustard adds extra flavor, but you can use whatever condiment you want.
3. Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants
Delicious croissants baked with cheese and ham. You can use any cheese you like, but Gruyere is ideal because it’s so melty and gooey. The addition of Hollandaise sauce and Dijon mustard take this dish over the top. Fresh herbs and onion are just the icing on the cake. All of these flavors come together so well, and all you have to do is bake in a pretty casserole dish to make serving easy.
4. Ham and Cheese Egg Boats
These ham and cheese egg boats are perfect for Easter brunch and can easily serve a crowd. Carve out the center of two baguettes and fill with a mix of scrambled eggs, ham, grated cheese and chopped chives. Bake for 25 minutes, slice and enjoy. Feel free to mix up the ingredients if you want. You can use bacon instead of ham or even add diced bell peppers to the mix.

5. Eggs Benedict Casserole
English muffins layered with Canadian bacon, eggs and Hollandaise sauce and then baked to perfection. You can customize this recipe however you want. Add some chives, Parmesan cheese or even sauteed mushrooms for extra flavor. If you’re pressed for time, you can even make this ahead of time, freeze it and bake it when you’re ready to serve brunch.
6. Gruyere and Ham Potato Stacks
One of my favorite Easter brunch recipes! These little potato stacks are delicious and easier to make than you think. Alternate layers of thinly sliced potatoes, ham, Gruyere cheese and fresh herbs in a muffin tin, pour cream sauce over the top, bake and serve. I recommend using a mandolin slicer to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly for extra crispiness.
7. Asparagus Tart with Whipped Feta and Poached Eggs
Delicate asparagus baked on a puff pastry square atop whipped feta and served with a poached egg. This fancy dish is sure to impress your guests while satisfying their taste buds. Add prosciutto and pesto for a kick of flavor. You can add whatever toppings you like if poached eggs and prosciutto aren’t your thing.
8. Egg, Cheese and Ham Brunch Cups
Flaky pastry cups filled with eggs, cheese and ham and baked in a muffin tin. These tasty bite-sized treats are perfect for your Easter brunch and will be devoured by everyone. Feel free to mix things up to offer different options for your guests. You can skip the ham for vegetarians or add mushrooms and peppers for an extra boost of flavor.
9. Granola Breakfast Tarts
How cute are these granola tarts? They look like bird nests. The best part? They’ll be a healthy addition to your brunch table. The granola tarts are made from rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, coconut oil and maple syrup. Bake in a muffin tin to create the nest shape, then fill with yogurt, fresh fruit and edible flowers. Use whatever other toppings you like to make these tarts a memorable part of your gathering.
10. Easter Bunny Trifle
This bunny trifle is adorable. Cubed angel food cake mixed with layers of whipped cream and strawberries. Marshmallows and chocolate chips help make the bunny ears and eyes. You can create the bunnies at the top with bigger pieces of cake and berries. If you don’t like whipped cream, you can use Cool Whip instead.
11. Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
These strawberry cinnamon rolls are divine and lovingly made from scratch. If you don’t have time to make the cinnamon roll dough from scratch, you can use a premade option from the grocery store. Adding strawberry compote to the filling and icing gives these cinnamon rolls a unique flavor that everyone will love.
12. Baked Breakfast Croissant Boats
Another one of my favorite Easter brunch recipes. These little croissant boats are delicious. Just carve out a portion of the croissant and fill with a cheesy egg mixture. Bake and serve. You can add whatever you want to the eggs – ham, bacon, peppers, mushrooms or anything else you wish.
13. Savory French Toast Bake
Here’s a different take on the classic French toast casserole. Instead of the sweet and cinnamon flavor you’re used to, this recipe adds savory ingredients like ham, asparagus and Swiss cheese. Use your favorite French bread or bake your own if you have the time.
14. Quiche Lorraine Bites
These little bite-sized quiches are delicious and will be loved by everyone at your gathering. You’ll need some phyllo shells, eggs, Swiss cheese, onion, bacon, chives and a few other basic ingredients. Make sure you buy the shells that need to be cooked, as you’ll need to bake these for at least 12 minutes.
