Do you know what I love about having people over for brunch? So many of the dishes can be made ahead, leaving more time for me to spend with friends and family. I can prep overnight casseroles, quiches, fruit salads, muffins, and batch cocktails (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) the day before. The work I need to do the morning the guests arrive ends up being minimal.
Some recipes—like eggs Benedict—require more hands-on work before serving. But with so many delicious recipes to choose from, you can find the right combination of dishes that can all be put together well ahead of time to give you plenty of flexibility.
