Savoury: Either of the Prosciutto & Melon or Tomato & Basil toasts would be perfect with brunch. Or try something like simple frittata that can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature.
Fresh: I always like to have a fresh, seasonal salad on the table like this Kale & Peach Salad with Feta and Toasted Pepitas or
Serve on a board: My Brunch Board recipe shows you how-to serve an assortment of fruits, vegetables, dips and crostini on a board. Makes for easy serving and easy cleanup!
