Bring On Brunch

Spring and summer offer plenty of opportunities for hosting brunch at home. Fortunately, it's easier than ever. Of course, it's nice to have something homemade if you can manage it, but brunch doesn't have to be fussy. Make-ahead dishes are wonderful. Many egg dishes, including our recipe for Bavarian Brunch Bake, are easy to assemble the day before and cook the morning of. They also don't need to be served steaming hot from the oven.

Beyond a single "star" dish, there are plenty of freshly prepared options you can set out in beautiful serving dishes and platters for a quick and easy brunch buffet. Mini pastries, including mini waffles from the Grocery Department, work fabulously for brunch. You can even make your own by slicing up a whole coffee cake or cutting bagels or croissants into quarters. Throw them on a tray with an artisan cheese, thinly sliced speck, jam and fresh fruit. Add some coffee and a carafe of freshly squeezed OJ (from the Produce Department, of course), and you're ready to bring on brunch!
