easter brunch

Brunch is such a fun meal – all of the breakfast tastes that you know and love, but filling enough to keep you satisfied until dinner! Make one of these recipes solo, or make a few for a grand brunch spread. Try combining a savory recipe (like our Sausage & Tomato Frittata) with a baked good (like our Hazelnut Coffee Cake), or make a Waffle Bar (think: Gluten Free Overnight Waffles, butter, maple syrup, berries, and any other waffle toppings you love). Serve with coffee, juice, or your favorite bubbly beverage for a divine spread!
