Something like this. You could easily change the meat and add veggies!

@matador84: totally! That sounds awesome. You can get a fruit tray or fruit salad already made if you want to, and costco has great pastries you can just set out in the morning! Most breakfast casseroles you can make the night before. Brunch sounds awesome!

This strata is awesome. Prep it the night before and then just throw it in the oven in the morning!

Different quiches- buy or make the day before
Assorted muffins, pastries, donut holes
Bagels & cream cheese- slice for half moon portions
Sliced fruit
OJ for kids, Mimosas for adults
if you have a Keri you can set up a coffee bar station the night before

@10 am I'd go with more breakfast foods than lunch dishes

I love a good brunch. We did Christmas Day brunch at our house this year, we served:

Smithfield style country ham, from Costco: delicious, I will buy again
Buiscuits: I took the easy way out here and used premade ones
Custard Pear tart: I like something sweet
Vanilla bundt cake
Fruit salad
Mini bagels with lox and all the fixings
Egg strata
Assorted cheese tray
OJ, tomato juice, apricot juice, champange

We had a brunch for my daughter's birthday, and it was such a hit, we're doing it again for her bday this year, too!

- chicken strips (cut up)
- tator tots
- donut holes
- biscuits and gravy (gravy also worked well for the chicken strips)
- pigs in a blanket
- blueberry pancake muffins (easy batter mix just poured into mini muffin tins and then baked)
....and mimosas, of course
- fruit (already pre-cut)

@lamariniere: I've also made this and it was delicious. I added pork sausage

@matador84: We did a waffle bar - I made all the waffles the night before and just reheated them in the oven and had a ton of different toppings + coffee, apple cider, and scrambled eggs. It worked out really nicely, and was very little prep the morning of.

These are great ideas! We aRe thinking of doing the same thing for my sons 1st bday in March

@lamariniere: i always make that plus her boozy baked french toast. So easy! I also use the Alton Brown cinnamon bun recipe she adapted for her morning buns (the ones with cranberries).

I love hosting brunch! I make anything that can be done beforehand:
- strata
- cinnamon buns
- baked french toast
- assortment of fruit
- mini yogurts
- sausages (i'll usually cook the morning of and then keep in the warming drawer)

I just did brunch for my sprinkle a few weeks ago: bagels (sliced in half by the bakery) with cream cheese, lox, onion, tomato, and capers, mini frozen quiche (took 10 mins to heat right before), donut holes, mini muffins, fruit, and I got some special things from one of my favorite bakeries - cheese rolls and potato balls (meat inside). It was cheap and easy and everyone seemed happy! We also put out some OJ, champagne, coffee, and water.
