Because “special occasion” shouldn't mean “stress yourself out by 9 a.m.”
A beautiful Mother’s Day brunch is great. A beautiful Mother’s Day brunch that doesn’t leave you frazzled by 10 a.m. is better!
All of these recipes can be made ahead, so the morning feels easier, the menu still feels special, and you have time to actually enjoy it and your company.
1. French Toast Casserole
French Toast Casserole is an ideal make-ahead brunch recipe because it can be assembled the night before, giving the bread plenty of time to soak up all the flavor.
2. Overnight Breakfast Casserole
Prep Overnight Breakfast Casserole the evening before and wake up with most of the work already done.
3. Overnight Cinnamon Rolls
Overnight Cinnamon Rolls are perfect for a special morning because the dough rises while you sleep. That means less hands-on work during brunch and fresh, warm rolls ready to bake.
4. Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche
Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche works especially well for make-ahead hosting since it can be baked earlier and reheated beautifully. Also, try our Quiche Lorraine.
