Nothing says Spring quite like an Asparagus Tart. One clever reader commented that she rotates the direction of every other asparagus so that each square gets some of the tender tips. Also, try my Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles for another veggie option for your Easter brunch menu!

6. Cowboy Quiche

A Cowboy Quiche is even popular with the guys thanks to the caramelized onions and savory bacon in a flaky, buttery crust. My favorite protein-packed option on the list!

7. Coconut Lime Glazed Banana Bread

A Coconut Bundt Cake is the perfect centerpiece to your brunch spread. Or if you have a smaller group, my Moist Coconut Bread is like a half-size version.

Eggs Benedict levels up any brunch menu with slices of savory ham, perfectly poached eggs, and rich hollandaise sauce over toasted English muffins.

Cinnamon rolls are fine the rest of the year, but in Spring we like Lemon Raspberry Sweet Rolls for something surprising and special. If you can’t get enough of this flavor, be sure to also visit my Raspberry Lemonade Cupcakes and Lemon Raspberry Cake Pops.

Homemade Biscuits and Sausage Gravy is a hearty addition to a brunch spread to balance out the sweet options. An American classic!
