Tomato Cheddar Strata
A strata is a savory version of a sweet bread pudding that can showcase vegetables, warm melted cheese and fresh spring herbs. It’s one of the best brunch recipes for a crowd, containing 8 eggs, two cheeses, and a loaf of crusty bread. But best of all, it’s all the better when assembled the night before, enabling the bread to soak up all the flavors.
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Milk
- Broccoli
- Grape tomatoes
- 1 loaf crusty bread
- Herbes de Provence
Refrigerating this dish after assembling, whether it’s for several hours or overnight, is key to allowing the flavors to blend together. It can be served warm or at room temperature, making it one of the most versatile savory brunch recipes. Get the full recipe.

Pea and Prosciutto Salad
As much as we love our sweet and savory Easter Sunday brunch recipes, a spring salad brings some freshness to the table.

Meanwhile, thin slices of pink prosciutto provide the perfect color and flavor contrast to this elegant green salad.
Ingredients
- Lemon juice
- Dijon mustard
- Arugula
- Fresh green peas
- Sugar snap peas
