Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas

A good brunch is all about variety. You want a mix of sweet, savory, fresh, and a little indulgent — because, hey, it’s mom’s day!

Here are some Mother’s Day recipes that will make everyone at the table happy.

1. Bagel Bar

Let’s kick things off with a bagel bar, because who doesn’t love a build-your-own situation?

Lay out an assortment of bagels (toasted, obviously), cream cheese flavors, smoked salmon, avocado, sliced veggies, and maybe some jam for the sweet tooths.

Easy, delicious, and no cooking required.
