Your creativity can go a long way in helping you to prepare an amazing and delectable Thanksgiving brunch. Here are a few ideas to enhance your Thanksgiving brunch or breakfast.

  • Set out a waffle maker on the counter, and all the fixings for a fun and festive brunch option for your gathering. Don’t forget the jams and maple syrup!
  • Build a pastry platter: Delight your guests with scrumptious croissants, muffins, donuts, or other Danish pastries!
  • Bake easy dishes like Thanksgiving casseroles and egg muffins. These casserole dishes lend themselves nicely to brunch time and make it easy to prepare food for a crowd.
  • Don’t forget to set up a drink station. Arrange together large bowls of fresh fruit next to an electric juicer so your guests can create their own mixed fruit juices for your Thanksgiving brunch. Consider keeping a bottle or two of champagne on hand for easy and refreshing mimosas ;)
