Breakfast Casserole and DIY Lox Bar

Kids might not have a taste for brined or smoked salmon just yet, but bagels and cream cheese are almost always an easy “yes.” A breakfast casserole loaded with hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, and cheese probably is too: It’s also super simple to throw together and let cook while you prepare your other family friendly recipes. 

Pasta Salad and Deviled Eggs 

Talk about prepping ahead of time! Make deviled eggs your way and a simple Italian pasta salad the day before Easter to save time and allow the flavors to meld. This meal focuses more on the lunch side of brunch, but we suggest heading to Tacoma Boys deli for applewood smoked bacon or pork breakfast links for a breakfast side.

Eggs Benedict and Crispy Potatoes

Roast up a batch of ultra crispy fingerling potatoes on a high heat in the oven using oil and seasonings, like Tacoma Boys Lemon-Herb Pesto Seasoning. The potatoes are sure to complement your favorite eggs benedict recipe perfectly (hint: save time and energy by whipping up the hollandaise with an immersion blender).
