Easter Brunch made Easy
This year it’s my goal to make Easter brunch simple! I definitely don’t want to make any unnecessary trips outside the house, so instead I’m using decor and ingredients that I already have around the apartment! And most likely you do too :)
I decided to make a frittata this year because you can throw in any vegetables you have on hand. I always have tomatoes and white onions so I started with those.
Ingredients:
7 Eggs
1/3” Heavy Cream
Olive Oil
Half of a White Onion Diced
2 Cloves of Garlic Minced
1 Tomato Diced (I also threw in a few cherry tomatoes)
Two handfuls of Spinach leaves
Shredded Cheese (any kind cheese in your fridge works but I used fontina)
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tsp of fresh Thyme
Preheat the oven to 350. While the oven heats add a drizzle of olive oil to a sauce pan. Once it starts to sizzle add onion and garlic. Cook for 5 min or until the onions start to golden. Then add the tomatoes for an additional 5 min. Lastly add the spinach and cook until it welts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl whisk the eggs and heavy cream. Add salt, pepper, and thyme and mix in a 1/2” cup of cheese. Add a sautéed veggies to the eggs and pour into a glass casserole pan
Cook in the oven for 20 min. Make sure the eggs are cooked all the way through. Add a little extra time in the oven if not.
After you take the frittata out the oven. Let cool down and enjoy while warm. I personally like adding a little hot sauce!
I set my table with a spring gingham table cloth and matching plates. I put hydrangeas in a mason jar as my centerpiece.
To really make a statement, I rolled my napkins around eggs. Wrap ribbon around the top to make a bow. I used ribbon I had around my house!
Every brunch needs a good mimosa. I mixed champagne with a splash of grapefruit juice. I garnished with lemon and rosemary.
Lastly I made a simple 1 layer cake for dessert. Use a vanilla cake mix or your favorite cake recipe to start.
Once the cake cools frost with cool whip, Decorate with oranges and lemons. I also added decorative flowers for a pop of pink.
Once your table and food is ready, it’s time to brunch! Enjoy Easter Sunday and stay inside and safe :)
