Easter Brunch Ideas

As many of us are preparing our Easter brunch menus for this weekend, I thought I’d bring out the recipes for some of my favorite brunch dishes I’ve made on Cooking On the Side.

Sour Cream Pecan Coffee Cake
If I didn’t already know that this Sour Cream Pecan Coffee Cake recipe came from a box of dark brown sugar I probably could have guessed it. It has very pronounced brown sugar flavor and, with the help of the sour cream in the mix, the texture is melt-in-your mouth.

Crab, Scallion & Tomato Quiche
This Crab, Scallion & Tomato Quiche ranks among the top three recipes I’ve tried on this blog. It features a generous amount of lump crab meat and the flavor is further enhanced by the Old Bay-seasoned custard.

Sausage Breakfast Casserole
The hot sausage and pepper jack cheese give the casserole a little kick of heat without being overly spicy. With the custard soaked into cubes of country bread the dish is very much like a savory bread pudding, or strata.

Banana Berry Muffins
As someone who tends to prefer muffins that are nearly like cupcakes I was not expecting to enjoy these “healthier” muffins as much as I did. Between the bananas, berries and orange juice they’re loaded with flavor.

Chilled Dill Carrot Salad
The salad is incredibly simple – the carrots are sliced, blanched, tossed in a dill-red wine vinaigrette and chilled to blend the flavors. Even if you can’t find the multicolor carrots in your area this still would make a great healthy side dish with the conventional variety.
