YOU GUYSโ€ฆOh this spread. I am both very excited and also very nervous to share it with you. Iโ€™m excited for obvious reasons, as this is one of the most delicious brunch spreads Iโ€™ve ever put together. But why am I nervous?

Well, this isnโ€™t really a โ€œrecipeโ€. I mean, it is a recipe, but itโ€™s much more of a concept. There is so much happening on this brunch board. And while I have a few specific items I feel really must be included. The rest of what Iโ€™m going to tell you are really just more of my suggestions. I want you guys to be able to take a few ideas from me, and then put your own spin on this brunch board. Adapt it to the flavors and foods you love most!

Does that make sense?

I know this really isnโ€™t any reason to be nervous. But this isnโ€™t your traditional recipe. I want you guys to walk away excited and confident that you can take these spring brunch ideas and recreate this board at home, you know?

Anyway, Iโ€™m putting my weird anxious feelings aside and diving right into the details of this board.

PS. I am just very anxious in general this week. A lot is happening and itโ€™s overwhelming me a bitโ€ฆwhatโ€™s new.

Let me break this board down piece by piece. The star players are as followsโ€ฆ

roasted potatoes + crispy bacon โ€“ both roasted together in the oven to make things easy.

eggs โ€“ I recommend a mix of hard boiled and soft scrambled.

cherry tomatoes with burrata โ€“ toss the tomatoes in basil pesto for extra deliciousness.

smoked salmon โ€“ be sure to include plenty of cream cheese and lemon wedges.

bagels + naan โ€“ obviously you need these toasty carbs.

These items make up the bulk of the board, and are items which I think you should include. For some more optional items that I really want to encourage you to play with. Pick out spreads, vegetables, and fruits that you, your friends, and family love.

My recommendations? Hot jarred peppers in oil, fruit jam, honey, avocados, fresh berries, and lots of vegetables. My suggestions are cucumbers, radishes, and red onions. Plenty of fresh herbs, my favorites are chives, basil, and dill. Again, these are my suggestions. Have fun and get creative with the add ons. Customize this brunch board to your own personal taste!

A few tips for successโ€ฆ

โ€“ Put out your serving board, serving dishes, and any utensils you will be using the night before. This will save so much time and stress by having everything you need already out and ready.

โ€“ Prep all of your vegetables, spreads, and other add ons the night before your brunch. This means slice your vegetables, put the spreads in bowls, and do as much of the prep work as you can.

โ€“ The morning ofโ€ฆ start roasting the potatoes a couple of hours before guests arrive or even the night before and rewarm in the morning. The potatoes take some time to cook, so be sure to plan for it! These are also just as delicious warm as they are at room temperature, so itโ€™s OK if they are not piping hot.

โ€“ The burrata, cream cheese, and creme fresh are all best served at room temperature. So you can put these on your serving board up to an hour before guests arrive.

โ€“ For the eggs, I recommend cooking up a big batch of hard boiled eggs the day before, peeling them, and keeping in the fridge until the morning of your brunch. Pull the eggs out of the fridge about 30 minutes before youโ€™re ready to serve.

โ€“ Fully assemble the board before your guest arrive, so youโ€™re ready for the hungry crowd, butโ€ฆ

โ€“ If youโ€™re making scrambled eggs, these are best eaten pretty soon after theyโ€™ve been cooked. I recommend cooking these in a large batch once your guests have arrived. Then add them to the board as your โ€œfinalโ€ touch.

Yes, I know it seems like a lot, but I hope all these tips can help you recreate your own version of this brunch board! Promise, itโ€™s much easier than cooking multiple brunch dishes. And honestlyโ€ฆthis is so much more fun!

Everyone can pick and choose their favorite foods, enjoying only what they love most!

Not only does this make for a fun spread for Easter, but itโ€™s really great for any Saturday or Sunday morning that you want to make a little extra spacial. Pick up your favorite bagels and coffee, serve a spring cocktail and enjoy a long leisurely spring brunch with friends and family.

The most perfect way to spend any Saturday or Sunday morning!

Instructionsย 

  • 1. To make the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

If the bacon begins getting too crisp before the potatoes are done, remove the bacon from the oven.ย 
    3. Remove the potatoes and bacon from the oven and transfer to a serving plate/bowl, draining off any excess grease.
    4. To assemble the board. Toss the tomatoes with 1/4 cup pesto and arrange in a bowl with the burrata cheese. Arrange the potatoes, bacon, tomatoes with burrata, smoked salmon, and eggs on a large serving board. Scatter the remaining ingredientsย around the board, filling in all the gaps.ย Allow guests to assemble their bagels, naan, and or toast. ENJOY!

I tried my best to imitate your spring brunch board and they LOVED it. Thank you so much for your great ideas. Iโ€™ll post a couple pictures if thereโ€™s a way.

    Thank you (as always) for an amazing recipe. The potatoes cooked up beautifully with the bacon. I followed your recipe exactly, except I made a lot more bacon. My brunch board looked respectable following your instructions. I ended the brunch with angel food cake French toast with a strawberry sauce- It was the perfect menu to celebrate my first born’s 18th birthday…..Thank you Tieghan!
