What if we replaced the traditional Easter lunch with a joyful sweet and savory brunch?
Breaking the codes, this is the very concept of brunch which brings together breakfast classics, served at lunch, accompanied by savory dishes. And what better Sunday to enjoy brunch than Easter Sunday? Less strict than the Easter lunch, the Easter brunch opens up the field of possibilities around the key flavors of this celebration. Lamb, eggs, spring vegetables, and chocolate are obviously always there, in different versions, sometimes more street than grandmother's. Cocktails are also present – for a brunch that doesn’t forget to be festive. The bakery – pancakes and brioches at the head of the line – accompanied by homemade spread, also awakens the sweet part. As it's the start of the season, we're taking advantage of Easter brunch to give pride of place to the strawberries that are returning to the shelves.
To stay on the theme, don't forget to decorate your table with eggs – real, fake, sugar or chocolate – but also with fresh flowers to bring spring into the house.
Discover our 30 recipes, some of which need to be prepared in advance, to delight young and old alike and leave time for the egg hunt!
