French toast is a classic breakfast, but this overnight recipe from Kristine's Kitchen adds so much flavor and makes it easier. This recipe is just what your Easter Sunday needs.
Sausage and Veggie Bake
This sausage and veggie back from One Lovely Life is a delicious brunch recipe for Easter, but it's also a fantastic way to use up veggies that you need to use up.
Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
For Easter Sunday, it's never a bad idea to up the ante on a breakfast and brunch classic. Think French toast sandwiches filled with a cream cheese-strawberry jam mix, topped with fresh strawberries and syrup. Get the recipe from Boulder Locavore.
The Perfect Omelet
Making the perfect omelet is no easy feat, but when you consider how easy it is to make one exactly how everyone at home like it made, it's worth the effort. Luckily, popular food blog Weelicious has an easy tutorial video to help you make it happen.

Spring Salmon Salad Platter
This salmon salad platter from The View from Great Island almost looks too good to eat! What we really love though, is that the options for what you add to your salad platter is endless. Use what veggies you have on hand, what you've gotten from your produce box, or what the Farmer's Market has on special.
Strawberry Apple Crisp
A warm crisp right out of the oven is the perfect complement for a savory brunch menu. We love this strawberry-apple version.
Chiles Rellenos Strata
Fancy up your go-to strata by whipping up this Chiles Rellenos version from Kitchen Treaty. Filled with yummy ingredients like eggs, jack and cheddar cheese, and of course, green chiles, if you've got picky eaters at home, be sure to check out the option without spicy chorizo.

Challah French Toast with Berries
We are drooling over this Challah French Toast with berries from Boulder Locavore. The Challah bread makes this dish light and airy, and, since Passover occurs nearly at the same time as Easter, it's easier to find this bread. Don't want to bother hunting it down? Try the overnight french toast casserole instead.
