Easter Brunch

This year was the first year I had an Easter brunch. Actually, I can't really remembering having many brunches at all, unless you count sleeping in late enough to miss breakfast. Usually for Easter we do the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's meal of turkey and all the trimmings. This year though, with less people home to celebrate, we were invited to a lovely Easter brunch!

 It turned out to be quite extravagant, beautifully presented, and extremely tasty! Here are a few pictures of the table settings and some of the food. On the table (I will go clockwise from twelve o'clock, though not everything can be seen in the photo) there was: nutella-filled croissants, honey, bunny-shaped cinnamon rolls I made, jam, butter, a deli meat platter, a homemade dip, a cheese platter including gouda, cheese wedges, brie, and boursin spreadable cheese, complete with radish garnishes, cinnamon brown sugar spread, braided sweet bread, herb bread, whole grain bread, nutella, and peanut butter. In the center there is an assortment of colored hard-boiled eggs and some salmon.

 In addition to what is on the table so far, there were also ham mini quiches, salmon mini quiches, and cheese mini quiches, chick deviled eggs I made, and fried potatoes and mushrooms.

For dessert there was plenty of chocolate on the table - this cute display of fancy Easter chocolates, as well as some carefully chosen chocolate bunnies and eggs placed at each table setting (mine was dark chocolate). There was also the Easter egg cake I made and featured in yesterday's post, and even a chocolate tea.
I really like the idea of an Easter brunch, with amazing food and great company, and I definitely enjoyed the morning! Even the sun was shining outside.
