Easter is often one of those holidays where family and friends gather together to celebrate not only the religious aspects of the day, but the fun generated by the Easter bunny. There are sure to be brightly-colored eggs and chocolate bunnies in the mix.
Whatever you’re planning, the get-together is sure to revolve around the meal. That’s why we at Maison Culinaire thought we’d offer up some Easter brunch menu ideas.
