Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and our moms are often the most important people in our lives, so it only makes sense to combine these two things and celebrate Mother’s Day with a brunch. The perfect Mother’s Day brunch recipes are hard to come by, but the 21 below have pretty much everything a breakfast goer could want. From sweet to savory, protein-fueled to sugar-coated, Mom deserves it all.
There are a couple of routes to go when it comes to Mother’s Day brunch. There’s the classic breakfast in bed option, the easy head-to-a-restaurant option, and finally, my favorite, the host-a-brunch-I-didn’t-think-through option. Before you get overwhelmed at the idea of a Mother’s Day brunch in your apartment (or house, go you!), it’s much easier than you think as long as you do some basic planning. First, make sure there are no dietary restrictions before you design the menu. Second, make sure you have plenty of brunch cocktails on hand. Because, while we love to be around our moms, the day is bound to have a few bumps that can easily be solved with a Bloody Mary or a mimosa in hand. Check out the recipes below for a perfect Mother’s Day brunch, and don’t forget the flowers!
