Garden brunch ideas

[tappitytaptap]

We are having another family of 4 round (so total 4 adults, 4 kids 5 and under) this weekend for garden brunch. No particular dietary needs or massive dislikes - what can I cook/ serve that is easy and will go down well? Thanks in advance for ideas :)

I’m a big fan of shakshuka for brunch. Brunch screams eggs to me. So I’d do a big pot of shakshuka with lovely sour dough or French sticks, salted butter and platters of fresh fruit and pastries. Fresh coffee and juices. Not sure if younger children would enjoy that though.
Or maybe a big pan of scrambled eggs, lots of toasted muffins and bagels, smoked salmon, cream cheese, bowls of mashed avocado, bacon and fresh tomatoes for people to assemble as they wish.

Brioche bread and butter pudding. I often make this version www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/brioche-breakfast-bake-crispy-bacon but I do this if we’re catering for vegetarians www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/souffled-blueberry-lemon-curd-and-brioche-bread-and-butter-pudding/

Or if you’d rather do something savoury, then this recipes.sainsburys.co.uk/recipes/cheese-and-tomato-bread-and-butter-pudding

Do you have a proper table and chairs to sit around?

If so I’d do smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and bagels/toast.

If not I’d do lots of small pastries (you can get good frozen mini pastries from m and s), fruit, and mini bacon or sausage baps.
