The Best Easter Sunday Brunch Menu Plan

An Easter Sunday Brunch is a wonderful change from the usual holiday dinners. A brunch offers a wide variety of foods that are a special Easter treat.

The following Easter Brunch Menu is one I have been serving my family for years. The family grows a little bit each year with the addition of my children's new wives or husbands and of course grandchildren. The Sunday brunch menu is ideal for a large dinner party because each dish feeds a number of people.

Following the main brunch menu, the table is cleared and the dishes cleaned up. Then by middle of the afternoon everyone is ready for the dessert course. Each member of the family has a favorite dessert but that doesn't stop anyone from sampling each item.

I'm already preparing for this year's Easter Brunch and yes, there is a new member of the family. My daughter was married this year, so there will be another plate added to the brunch table.

Consider having an Easter Sunday Brunch this year. I bet it will turn out to be a tradition in your family, just like it did in mine.

The following recipe is everyone's favorite. Easter Brunch wouldn't be the same without them.

Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

½ c. butter

2 c. flour

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1.2 c. milk

2 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

2 ½ c/ fresh blueberries

2 tsp. sugar (for the top of the muffins)

Mash 1/2 c. blueberries in a small bowl and set aside.

Mix all the ingredient s, except the blueberries, until smooth. Stir in the mashed blueberries and then the remaining 2 cups of berries.

Grease the muffin tins, or use paper muffin cups in the tins, and fill each tin at least three-quarters full. Sprinkle sugar over each muffin before baking.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

This recipe makes approximately two dozen large blueberry muffins.
