let's talk about brunch food

a few posts ago i mentioned i am throwing a baby shower next month.

we are doing a brunch with the main foods being bacon and a make your own waffle bar with toppings. of course mimosa and coffee too. this is only for about a dozen people.

beyond that i have like a zillion ideas for food but i am not feeding an army. i am thinking fruit salad too. but help me keep this simple.

what would you want to eat?

Re: let's talk about brunch food

  • I think adding fruit salad is a good idea.  my only other thought is something savory (like those mini quiches from costco) but that's probably not completely necessary.
  • Waffles, bacon & fruit sound good to me.  Maybe an alternate protein if someone is trying to be healthy?  Most good brunch foods to me are just different kinds of bread, so if you already have waffles, you don't need the scones or muffins or bagels or whatever as well.

  • I like the DIY waffles and fruit. I think one additional thing would be good. Maybe something that's more lunch-like?

  • It sounds delicious. Maybe add a frittata? Egg and sausage casserole? Smoked salmon?

  • Adding fruit sounds good. I like the idea of adding something egg-based like a quiche or egg bake of some sort. To me, bacon isn't a super filling protein (unless you eat 10 strips) and I'm not a huge fan of waffles because it makes me feel like I go on a sugar high and then crash (But that's just me. I know most people love waffles). So, I think having an egg-based dish will give an option for non-waffle lovers who also want some protein. The benefit to some of the egg casseroles is that you can make them the night before and then in the morning all you have to do is pop it in the oven.

  • You don't have the "unch" half of the meal Geeked.  That's just breakfast.

    So, I'd do something lunchy like little sandwiches.  Even just store bought chicken salad on mini croissants from Costco. 

     

  • I'd add a fruit salad and something else, either a quiche or lunch meat platter (or premade sandwiches of 2 or 3 varities.)
  • I agree on add a fruit salad and then something more lunch like - lunch meat and bread, or chicken salad with croissants (my fave is a chicken salad with half grapes, craisins and almonds).
