One of my goals for 2020 is to take advantage of more hosting opportunities, and what’s a better way than having plenty of small group brunches throughout the year? Of course, hosting many brunches means building lots of menus, so I better start brainstorming ideas! I’ve gathered up a huge selection of recipes from other blogs that I am excited to try out this year.
Small Plates
Start your brunch with an appetizer or small plate. These are tasty bites to get your guests excited for the rest of the meal. You can go sweet or savory here, but make sure it’s something fun, little, and sharable.
Brunch Main Courses
The bulk of your brunch meal is the main course. This should be on theme, and match the rest of the dishes you are serving. Use this course to add a sweet or savory balance, opposite what you used for a small plate.
Brunch Sweets
End the three-course meal on a sweet note, with a fun, gooey, sticky, or syrupy treat. You’ll want to serve just enough to top off the meal, to not overwhelm your guests with sugary treats.
Brunch Cocktails
It’s not brunch without a drink. Get creative here, and go with something outside your typical mimosa or bloody mary. Try to complement all three courses by sticking to a specific season or theme. Then keep them flowing!

I love how you’ve categorized all these delicious items. Makes it so much easier to plan a brunch!
Thank you! I am super organized by nature, and I’m glad you find it helpful.
I’m glad you’ve put all of these resources in one spot for future reference. You always share the best recipes and hosting tips. It makes me wish I had more of a social life so I could invite friends over for things like a good brunch!
Thank you! You don’t need a to throw big party to host something. I used to invite friends over for dinner one-on-one, and it was always a super fun time. You could host a mini brunch!
Everything looks and sounds absolutely delicious! Definitely need to bookmark this post for future reference, thanks for sharing!

Yum! A lot of these recipes can be made without hosting a big party, but that’s fun too. Make them however it works best for you.
I’ve never hosted a fancy friend brunch before but you make it look so easy that I’d love to give it a try. Those recipes look so yummy!
Thank you! Brunch is so much fun to host and make, and I hope you get a chance to try a few of these.
