In our humble opinion, brunch is the finest meal of them all. There are so many reasons to love this time-honored weekend ritual: There are mimosas involved. And coffee. And yummy foods like pancakes and quiche and eggs benedict. And...okay, you get the gist.
This Easter, step up your brunch game with one of these lightened-up brunch recipes, which range from time-honored classics (spinach and mushroom quiche) to the unexpected (Indian-spiced sweet potato hash browns). There's something for everyone. We promise!
