This week hasn’t felt much like spring, but today the sun is finally shining, the birds are chirping, and I can hear the six inches of snow we received over the past two days quickly melting away (hopefully for good). What a classic April Fool’s joke!
Despite our unpredictable Midwestern weather, spring is officially here, and Easter is just around the corner. If you’re looking for ideas for your Easter brunch, I’ve created a collection of three spring-inspired menus that are perfect for the holiday or any spring occasion.
Each menu features a vibrant display of color, flavor, and springtime flair, with dishes chosen to complement each other. Each menu includes a main course, salad, breakfast pastry, and dessert. You can complement the menus with your favorite breakfast sides, such as bacon, sausage, and potatoes, or mix and match between the menus.
You can view and print the recipes for each menu using the links below, or download a PDF file for each collection. If you have any questions about the recipes, feel free to reach out. Be sure to check out my recipes page for even more great ideas.
If you prefer not to do all the cooking yourself, check out my SarahBakes Easter Spring Menu, which features a delightful selection of brunch specialties and sweets.
I would love to hear what you’re cooking this spring, so please leave a comment below. Have fun, and happy cooking!
XO,
Sarah
A Classic and Colorful Spring Brunch
This collection features classic brunch favorites such as quiche, big-batch salads, muffins, and dessert bars. The menu includes some of my all-time favorites, including my big-batch Rainbow Layer Salad with Buttermilk Herb Dressing. I could eat this salad from spring through summer and never get tired of it. My quiche Lorraine is easy to make, but you could also serve my Classic Ham Quiche, a favorite for Easter and a current feature on my SarahBakes Easter Spring Menu.

A Feast of Spring Flavors
This collection features bright and vibrant spring flavors, including old-fashioned favorites like egg strata (egg bake), strawberry bread, coconut cream pie, and one of my newest salad recipes. I love how each dish complements the others; the rich and cheesy strata is perfectly balanced by the tangy citrus punch in the salad. The strawberry bread (also available on my SarahBakes Easter Menu) is light enough that you can enjoy a second slice and still have room for a piece of my decadent coconut cream pie.

Razzle-Dazzle Springtime Brunch
This menu offers a dazzling array of delicious flavors and visual appeal. I love its variety—ranging from the rich, savory casserole and beautiful salad to the playful charm of the raspberry tea cakes and the understated elegance of an elevated bundt cake. Each dish provides tantalizing flavors from the first bite to the last. If you would like to replace the breakfast pastry or dessert with an item from my SarahBakes Easter Menu, I recommend the lavender-buttermilk scones and Scandinavian almond cake.
