Easter Brunch Ideas for a Stylish and Relaxed Morning

Easter is the perfect excuse to gather your loved ones, enjoy good food and show off your kitchen. If you’ve recently upgraded your space, why not make the most of it by hosting a stylish yet effortless Easter brunch? We’ve got you covered with easy, stylish brunch ideas that will make hosting a breeze – even if you’re still in your pyjamas when the doorbell rings!

A Brunch Spread That Feels Special (Without the Stress!)

The secret to a relaxed Easter morning? Make-ahead dishes, simple styling and a mix of sweet and savoury options that look impressive but don’t require hours in the kitchen.

Sweet Treats with an Easter Twist

No Easter brunch is complete without something indulgent. Instead of the usual hot cross buns, why not take them up a notch?

Hot Cross Bun French Toast – Crisp on the outside, pillowy on the inside—hot cross buns caramelised to perfection, soaked in warm maple syrup, and finished with a dusting of cinnamon.
Lemon & Ricotta Cake – Light, zesty and just sweet enough. Bake this a day ahead, then top with fresh berries and edible flowers for a picture-perfect centrepiece.
DIY Hot Cross Bun Bar – Set up a tray with warm buns and a selection of toppings like honey butter, mascarpone and spiced jam—your guests can mix and match their favourites.

Make-ahead tip: Slice your hot cross buns the night before and store them in an airtight container, ready to toast in the morning.

Savoury Delights That Everyone Will Love

Balance out the sweet treats with a few savoury stars. Easter is a great time for light, fresh flavours, so think along the lines of:

Asparagus and goat’s cheese tart – A crisp, golden pastry base topped with creamy goat’s cheese and seasonal asparagus. Elegant, simple and incredibly delicious.
Smoked salmon and avocado bagels – A no-cook option that feels luxe but requires minimal effort. Lay out sliced smoked salmon, fresh avocado, cream cheese and dill for a serve-yourself spread.
Mini frittatas – Whisk up some eggs, add your favourite fillings (think feta, cherry tomatoes and baby spinach) and bake in muffin tins for a grab-and-go option.

Make-ahead tip: Whisk your frittata ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge, ready to bake fresh in the morning.

A Grazing Table for Ultimate Ease

Want to impress without the hassle? A brunch grazing table is the way to go. Layer up a mix of:

Freshly baked croissants or sourdough
Cheeses (a mix of soft and hard varieties)
Cured meats (prosciutto, salami, or a mild chorizo)
Fresh fruit (grapes, berries, and figs add colour and freshness)
Small bowls of olives, nuts, and dips

Not only does this spread look Instagram-worthy, but it also allows guests to pick and choose at their own pace—meaning less pressure on you!

Set the Scene: A Stylish Yet Effortless Table

Food aside, the atmosphere is just as important. Keep it simple but stylish with:

Linen napkins in soft pastels – Instant elegance without any fuss.
A centrepiece of fresh flowers – Think white tulips, eucalyptus or even a few sprigs of rosemary for a fresh, natural look.
Ceramic serving platters and wooden boards – Mixing textures makes everything feel more curated and intentional.

Hosting tip: Keep everything within arm’s reach so guests can serve themselves—this keeps the morning relaxed and social.

The Final Touch: A DIY Mimosa Bar

No Easter brunch is complete without a little sparkle! Set up a DIY mimosa station with:

Chilled prosecco or sparkling wine
A selection of juices (orange, peach and passionfruit are winners)
Fresh fruit garnishes (strawberries, raspberries or even a sprig of mint)
Extra flair? Add edible flowers or a splash of elderflower syrup for a floral twist!

For the non-drinkers, a splash of sparkling water in fresh juice makes for a just-as-fancy mocktail. A DIY bar is a small detail that makes the morning feel extra special – plus, it means you’re not stuck making drinks all morning!
