If there's any holiday that just seems perfect for having a celebratory brunch, it's Easter. If you happen to go to church on Easter Sunday, it's perfect timing for getting together for a meal with family afterwards. Alternatively, if you want to spend the morning opening Easter baskets or hunting for Easter eggs with little ones, Easter brunch makes it easy to combine breakfast and lunch together after that. And honestly, any excuse to eat decadent amounts of bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, breakfast burgers, and everything in between is always a good thing. Browse these Easter brunch recipes to find your favorites, add some Easter cocktails like mimosas or Bloody Marys for the adults, and you have the makings of a perfect holiday.

If you're planning on cooking Easter brunch yourself this year, making sure you have a menu planned out ahead of time is important. This way, you can delegate cooking tasks to other people and/or cook ahead of time to make your job that Sunday morning much easier. The good thing is that brunch means the possibilities are endless. You could bake sweet treats or whip up more savory options, too. You might choose finger foods or do a potluck style meal. You can opt to make it a little bit fancier or keep things casual.
