I am a firm believer that the best hours of the week fall on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. There are so many amazing life moments that happen during these hours on these days: sleeping in way too late, going on a long walk with a friend, hitting a morning workout class, reading a great book with a cup of coffee. But most importantly, it’s the prime time for our all-time favorite meal: brunch. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just romanticizing your weekend mornings, brunch is the perfect excuse to gather with friends and family, sip a delicious glass of wine, and eat some of the best dishes on the face of the earth.
No matter the occasion, brunch is all about taking a step above your usual breakfast fare, so having an arsenal of go-to brunch recipes is crucial for living your best life on weekend mornings. Here, we’ve rounded up 25 of the best brunch recipes that are guaranteed to be a hit with a crowd—and make the most of that magical window of time that we all love so much.
