10 Easter Brunch Recipes

This sweet and tangy lemon sugar cookie icebox cake is the perfect dessert to whip up for Easter brunch because you make the the day before you want to eat it, alleviating the stress of day-of baking. If combining sugar cookies and lemon whipped cream sounds like heaven to you, add this one to your must-make list!

This recipe is always a big-time crowd pleaser and came from my Aunt Laurie who initially made this quiche for my sister’s baby shower + my baby sprinkle. It was so, so good and everyone loved it! Most of the steps for this crustless quiche can be prepped ahead of time as well, so keep this one in mind if you’re hoping to serve a crowd and don’t want to be stressed by cooking when you’re trying to entertain guests, too!

My family’s go-to breakfast recipe for Christmas morning so you know it’s worthy of a special occasion! And no, it’s definitely not made with actual cheese puffs but it does puff up in the oven and taste deliciously cheesy!

I absolutely love a creamy, frothy Orange Julius… you know those not-so-good for you orange smoothies you find in mall food courts?

This recipe is my better-for-you dairy-free version of the delicious drink!
