I'm hosting a brunch this weekend, and was wondering what people's favorite brunch foods are.
My favorites (besides mimosas, of course!) are quiche and fresh fruit.
-
French toast bake
Bacon -
Hashbrown casserole like at cracker barrel

French toast, waffles, omelets, seasoned potato wedges, quiche, etc. I just went to a bridal shower brunch and they had breakfast things but also fish, vegetable medley, and other foods that weren't breakfast-y. My plate looked weird with the breakfast/non-breakfast mix of foods but my tummy was happy.
-
omelets!
-
Whenever I host brunch I usually serve:
Baked French toast - for pioneer woman
Crock pot breakfast casserole - hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, cheese and green onions
Spinach and feta quiche
Fruit salad
Smoked salmon and bagels
-
Quiche, cheesy hashbrown casserole, monkey bread.
-
eggs benedict. with the real, good sauce. none of that fake shit
-
@sarbear: Oh yes, how could I forget bacon!
@Chillybear: I have never been to Cracker Barrel, but that sounds delicious!
@MapleMoose: Haha! I like the idea of including non-brunchy foods. Vegetables + french toast FTW!
@Smurfette: I wish I could hire an omelette maker - I loove build your own omelettes
@sandy: PW's french toast is amazing - her!
@LuLu Mom: monkey bread I only learned about that recently, and it is *trouble*!
@blackbird: I don't think I have ever had eggs benedict...It's so hard to narrow down the menu - you guys have made me want to make ALL the brunch foods!
-
I do a pinterest french toast bake, sausage links, quiche and fresh fruit. What time should I be there?
-
@babyjmama: 10 on Sunday!! Come on over!
-
@blackbird: my favorite!!!
-
Bacon! Quiche.
Lemon poppyseed bunt cake. If its a special occasion I'll do homemade whipped cream or creme fraich and berries.
Everyone has such yummy ideas! Thanks for sharing!

@swurlygurl: with any luck I'll be moving into our new house and have to take a rain check ;+) PS I hope u were safe on your drive this am...the rain was bad!
-
Hash brown casserole, waffles & fruit are my faves. Quiche is good too!!
-
@swurlygurl: my motto: if you have a strawberry in the glass, it's acceptable for breakfast
-
Omelettes, quiche, fruit, shrimp and grits, sausage-biscuit-gravy, bacon!
-
My favorite is sausage biscuit casserole! You use canned biscuits to form the bottom crust. The "filling" is beat eggs with sausage, cheddar cheese, and spinach! My favorite!
-
Smoked salmon served with pumpernickel or bially.
Cinnamon rolls and tea breads like zuchinni pr banana & chocolate chip.
-
@sandy: do you have a recipe for the crock pot breakfast casserole? that sounds yummy.
I'm doing brunch for DS's 1st birthday so I love this thread!
-
Love brunch!
The only thing I have to add (that went over really well as DS's bday party) is fruit and yogurt parfaits with granola. We bought plastic champagne glasses from the dollar store and made them (minus the granola) the night before.
-
potatoes, potatoes, and more potatoes!
when I'm out to a restaurant or dh is cooking, I love poached eggs for brunch! but that's hard when cooking for multiple people. Also, I'm pregnant now so now poached eggs for me
I've made this "24-hour omlette" for a brunch party before and it was a big crowd-pleaser! A little heftier than a quiche
24-hour Omelet

8 eggs
1 lb. shredded cheese (you choose flavor - swiss, cheddar, jack, etc.)
4/3 lb. sliced mushrooms
1 large onion chopped
1 green or red pepper chopped
2 cups milk
1 stick melted butter or margarine (made of veg. oil)
3/4 teasp. dry mustard
1/2 teasp. salt
1 Tablesp. chives or chopped green scallion and go liberal
dash of pepperTear bread into chunks and spread evenly in 13 x 9 rectangle cooking pan coated with non-stick spray.
Pour melted butter/marg. over the pan. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Sautee veggies with olive oil and spread over cheese.
Beat together eggs, milk, and rest of seasonings & pour egg mixture on top of pan. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
