Holiday Brunch Menu A
holiday brunch menu to serve featuring Eggs Benedict,
cucumber salad,
raisin muffins and a fresh fruit salad.
Serve for a winter or holiday
brunch or lunch.Eggs Benedict are made with English muffins, Canadian style bacon, poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce for a savory main breakfast dish and garnished with grape tomatoes.  For
a savory vegetable side dish brunch idea, serve a fresh cucumber
salad. It tastes especially good in the middle of winter when
fresh produce is not as plentiful. It is a nice light addition to a
brunch table and adds a nice bit of color as well. For
something sweet, indulge in a homemade
raisin muffin with moist plump raisins. Serve them warm for
breakfast or brunch with
butter, cream
cheese spread or just plain. These muffins are equally good
either way. This
fresh
fruit salad
is made with strawberries, oranges, grapes, and
bananas and topped with a sour cream and honey dressing. Fruit adds a
nice complement and lighter fare to a heavier brunch menu. It can round
out a meal and adds a pop of color with red, orange, and green.Find more ideas for your holiday brunch menu here. Along with more brunch party planning tips, and other brunch menus.
