22 Father's Day Brunch Recipes That Dad Will Love

My dad isn't much of a breakfast person. Like me, he lives to eat, but that takes shape mainly as a lunch, dinner, and snack pursuit. I've never known him to go crazy over a fried egg sandwich, or to make pancakes of his own accord. Most days, he has toast, either slathered with peanut butter while still warm, or with gently crushed avocado, olive oil, and salt.

So Father's Day brunch is really for the rest of the family (and for the dogs, who each year anew act like they've never seen a muffin scrap before). My dad will attend, of course, but menu planning is dictated by the tastes of my sisters and mother. Enter the cinnamon rolls and the cream cheese frosting. And the custardy, soft-scrambled eggs. Oh, and the biscuits.

eggs florentine

It’s probably no surprise that if choosing between having brunch at a restaurant or making it at home, I’m squarely on team Brunch At Home, especially when we find a way to pull it off and still sleep in. There’s nothing worse than waiting too long for a table only to be served an overcooked, unseasoned omelet, home fries with those gnarly bits of green pepper in there (I will die on the hill that nobody has ever longed for green peppers in their potatoes), or soggy bacon. Maybe at home imperfections also happen but those imperfections don’t cost $150 for a family of four.

challah french toast

Everyone needs a recipe for classic, foolproof skillet french toast, even stubborn people like me who, despite making it at least once a month and more often when there’s leftover challah, are so easily bored by and restless with simple recipes that I’ve resisted writing this up for almost 19 years. I’ve filled the french toast vacuum on the site instead with customizations: casserole-style baked french toasts with cinnamon sugar toast and, uh, bailey’s (ah, the child-free years). There’s even a fancy french toast akin to individual crème brûlées. But eventually, through a combination of friends texting on random weekend mornings [“Do you seriously not have a challah french toast recipe?!”] and the existence of a teenager, who I cannot teach to make french toast for us if I haven’t written it down, I’ve come to my senses. I mean, mostly.

Bunnies, egg hunts, the great (still brisk) outdoors, and family time—growing up, Easter always felt like the first real whisper of spring. These days, not much has changed… except I hunt my next mimosa rather than my next egg. Every year, my husband, our friends, and I take turns hosting Easter brunch, and one thing stays the same: Lamb is always on the table, and I might bust out a haystack or two. Here’s how I pull it all together.

Bananas (& Rum) Are The Secret to Upgrading Your Easter Coffee Cake

This recipe came to me when I was thinking about what to make for Easter brunch, and after asking around the office, it became clear that coffee cake was a go-to for a lot of people. At the same time, my personal go-to is often banana bread—something that everyone always loves, no matter the occasion.

While I’m definitely not the first to do this, I wanted to make something that felt like a hybrid: a banana bread with the structure and topping of a coffee cake. From there, the Bananas Foster idea came in. I’ve always liked how straightforward those flavors are—caramelized banana, dark rum, butter, and sometimes a little crunch from toasted nuts. It felt like a fun direction to take this recipe in and turn it into something a little more layered and (very) brunch-appropriate.

easiest cinnamon rolls

What if I told you I had a from-scratch cinnamon roll recipe that was effortlessly veganized, required no kneading, and could be coming out of your oven in just over two hours? And what if I told you’d I’d been making it for years and didn’t tell you about it because I thought, for some bizarre reason, that the site didn’t need another breakfast bun recipe? Yes, I’d throw a jar of cinnamon at my head too. Good news, though, you can stop yelling now because I’ve come to my senses.
