Got a special occasion? Here’s an easy, elegant brunch menu that works every time.
Make a standout fruit platter to complete the menu: passionfruit, mini pineapples, and chunks of kiwi add some excitement to the usual assortment.
Spring holidays just seem to lend themselves to a brunch menu, especially one that makes the most of everything that’s coming up fresh now. Brunch has a festive feel, too—a good excuse to set a lovely table and even dress up a little.This menu runs with both of those ideas, getting its start with seasonal ingredients like baby carrots, sugar snap peas, and artichoke hearts, and giving them an elegant spin (don’t miss the quiche, with its high-sided, free-form crust). And since we’re celebrating, why not dust off the punch bowl and make the mint and citrus tea punch? It will give your party that extra something special.
