Savory Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas

Hash Brown Crust Bacon and Cheddar Quiche – This recipe is one of our favorites! It’s a little time consuming, but you can totally make this ahead of time (detailed instructions are in the post!). It’s always a crowd pleaser and people really rave about this recipe!

Sausage Strata – This is a savory person’s dream brunch recipe. It’s basically bread pudding’s savory cousin. We loaded this casserole up with sausage, cheese, cream and eggs. It’s heavenly and perfect for a crowd!

Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes – This is an amazingly delicious brunch recipe. They are so so good. You can prep this recipe ahead for easy assembly when you are ready to bake. This is a perfect recipe for Mother’s Day!

Beet Cured Salmon Brunch Platter – If you’re looking for something on the lighter side, our beet cured salmon is a great dish. It’s something you can make ahead and serve with your favorite local bagels and toppings to make this a stress free breakfast or brunch celebration! It’s one of our favorite Mother’s Day brunch ideas that really impresses!

Herb and Cheese Dutch Baby – This delicious part soufflé part pancake is beautiful straight out of the oven. We top ours with lots of gruyere cheese, but you can easily swap out for ingredients you have on hand or prefer. I have topped this dutch baby with goat cheese and cherry tomatoes in the past and its really hit the spot!

BBQ Chicken Salad – We love this salad so much and consider it one of our favorite entree salads! Everyone, especially mom, will go nuts over this very hearty and delicious salad!

Green Shakshuka – Our Green Shakshuka recipe is great for those with dietary restrictions. Packed with spinach and some spice for a big flavor punch, this dish will not disappoint! It’s gluten-free and on the healthier side. It’s a really beautiful dish that’s also one of our favorite Mother’s Day brunch recipes!

Simple Cheesy Skillet Hash Browns and Eggs – This is another really easy recipe that takes no time to whip up! The hash browns get crispy on the bottom and the yolks are nice and runny; add some bacon on the side and some buttery toast and you have the perfect brunch dish!

Breakfast Scramble Stuffed Avocado – A quick and easy brunch recipe that can be easily altered to suit mom’s taste (like subbing the bits of ham for bacon or sautéed, diced mushrooms). Also, if you have a mom who is an avocado fan this recipe is for you! Make sure to buy your avocados in advance so they can be perfectly ripe when it’s time to whip up this recipe!

Sweet Brunch Recipes for Mother’s Day

Meyer Lemon and Ricotta Stuffed Crepes – I love this recipe and think it’s such a perfect treat to make for Mother’s Day! Delicious crepes are filled with ricotta and lemon zest and then drizzled with honey, but maple syrup can be used instead. Also, if you can’t get your hands on Meyer lemons, use whatever citrus you have on hand or prefer. They will be delicious regardless of the citrus used!

Strawberry Studded Cinnamon Rolls with Chamomile and Vanilla Glaze – A special variation of traditional cinnamon rolls stuffed with strawberries and then drizzled with chamomile and vanilla glaze. Yum!!

Strawberry and Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups – This tasty French toast casserole recipe consists of slices of bread that are stuffed and rolled like cinnamon rolls! It makes for such a delicious breakfast or bunch recipe. You can also switch up the berries in this recipe – we love subbing in blueberries!

Coconut Banana Pancakes – Delicious fluffy pancakes are such a classic Mother’s Day food. We love classic banana pancakes but with the addition of coconut it’s so good. You can also make these pancakes extra indulgent by slathering warm peanut butter over the top for an extra treat!

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting – This ridiculously delicious cake is just what mom deserves! It’s one of our favorite dessert recipes ever! Not only is the cake moist, flavorful and tender, but the cream cheese frosting might be the best thing everrrrrr. It’s incredibly creamy, rich and decadent. This cake might be the best dessert offering of all Mother’s Day desserts!

Brown Butter Braided Cinnamon Roll Cake – We love this impressive looking cake that’s made with cinnamon roll dough, which is braided. The results are this stunning cinnamon roll cake. Perfect for a special celebration!

Salted Chocolate Dipped Liege Waffles – We think these are truly the best waffles EVER! They definitely take a little more time and effort to make, but it’s so well worth it! The Swedish pearl sugar adds lovely caramelize bits throughout the waffles and gives them a delightfully chewy texture!

Banana Bread French Toast – This is kind of a twofer recipe. Make a double batch of our banana bread recipe, and use one loaf to make our delicious Banana bread french toast coated in corn flakes (yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds). Then wrap up the other loaf and send it home with your mom as a delicious Mother’s Day treat!

Recipes for Mom to Make With your Kids!

Strawberry Muffins – These are the perfect Mother’s Day brunch treats to make with the kiddos! It’s a super simple, absolutely delicious recipe! Kids can help with combining the wet and dry ingredients, stirring the batter, folding in strawberries, and filling the muffin tins!

Fresh Summer Appetizer Platter – This dish is not only gorgeous and tasty, but the perfect brunch idea to make with the kids! There’s no cooking or baking involved and kids LOVE making all those cute little melon balls! Also, have the kids help assemble the platter to allow their creative juices to flow!

Blueberry Cobbler – It’s a recipe kids love helping to make! Not only do they love stirring up the simple blueberry filling and pouring it into the skillet, but they also love to scoop big dollops of the thick batter over the filling and sprinkle the sugar over everything! We highly recommend serving this dessert with big scoops of vanilla ice cream!

Egg McMuffins – Our version allow kids to work on their egg cracking skills, while providing mom with a decadently delicious dish to enjoy on her special day!

Simple Charcuterie Flatbreads – This is another no cook, no bake recipe that (depending on their age) kids can do all by themselves! The flatbreads take no time to put together; plus they can be taken on the go, making them perfect picnic food!). Simply add the drizzle of honey just before serving!
