Easter recipes for your next Easter brunch!

What is the difference between an Easter breakfast and an Easter brunch?

An Easter breakfast is often classic: bread rolls, eggs and sweet spreads.

An Easter brunch is more elaborate and more savoury. You combine breakfast dishes with lunch dishes. Think of:

• Savoury bread rolls
• Salads
• Small warm dishes
• A beautiful cheese board
• Soups or quiches

More variety, more flavours, more togetherness.

How do you put together a varied Easter brunch?

A good Easter brunch consists of three elements:

• Something savoury: For example mini cheese rolls or a quiche.
• Something fresh: A salad with cheese, nuts and seasonal vegetables.
• Something to share: A board in the middle of the table always works. For inspiration, take a look at this Easter sharing board.

That way no one has to choose, and everyone gets to taste a bit of everything.
