Celebrate Easter (or any occasion) by hosting family and friends for a spectacular brunch. What's on the menu? Eggs, of course—and we're not talking about the dyed or chocolate kind. Eggs are such a versatile ingredient and take center stage in many of our favorite brunch and breakfast dishes.
For a holiday, we always add something special with seasonal flair, so our favorite egg dishes for brunch feature fresh, in-season produce. From deviled eggs, quiches, and frittatas to omelets, eggs make a nice spread, no matter the occasion.
