on Apr 14, 2017, Updated Dec 19, 2023 11 Comments Easter is one of my very favorite holidays! We love to spend the day with family and celebrating our faith and the day always involves a special meal. You know, one of the best ways I’ve found to show someone you love them is to plan a special meal that they feel like is just for them! I can’t claim to have invented the idea. My Grandmother was famous for it and my Mama after her and now my sister and I are carrying on the tradition. When we’d go to Grandmother’s house for a meal, she’d quietly point out to each of us what she’d especially made for us. A favorite side dish for my Mama, a favorite way she prepared chicken for my uncle, a favorite dessert for my Granddaddy and so on and so on. We always felt extra special, cared for, and most definitely loved. It is those little touches that make any meal feel like a celebration. For my Easter brunch, I love to do the same.
Easter Brunch Recipes
Perfect French Toast
As the name implies, this French toast is easy and extra delicious! You can make a large batch of it and keep warm on a sheet pan in the oven as you prepare the rest for serving or if serving a very large crowd, it does serve well in a chafing dish.
