Baby Shower Brunch Ideas
1. Mini Quiches
A brunch favorite is mini quiches. They are simple to eat, can be altered to taste and they can serve a crowd. Depending on your varied preferences, you can make different kinds of flavors such as spinach and cheese, bacon and mushroom etc.
Quick Tip: Prepare quiches in muffin tin to simplify it. Make the fillings first and then just pour on egg mixture and require baking. In case you are in a limited time, prepare them in advance and then freeze then then bake them during the day of the event in the morning.

3. Avocado Toast Hut
Another trend which is customizable and could be easily prepared is avocado toast. Have a station of toasted bread and toppings such as mashed avocado, poached eggs, tomatoes or smoked salmon, and your guests can make their ideal toast.
Tips: Some toast the bread only when it is about to be served so that it remains crispy. Combine the avocado, lime juice, salt and pepper in a bowl by mashing, then prepare an array of toppings on a platter so that the guests can make their own mix.

4. Toppings on Mini Pancakes
Mini pancakes is the cutest, bite-sized snack and a great brunch idea. Provide a selection of topping such as whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit and chocolate chips, to allow guests to tailor toppings to their pancakes.
Hint: Beforehand cook the pancakes and warm them up in the oven. Place dishes of toppings and see your guests pile pancakes with their favorite toppings. Even special syrups such as caramel, or fruit syrup can be added.
5. Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast burritos are nutritious and highly variable. You may stuff them with scrambled eggs, cheese and avocado, and protein source such as bacon or sausage.
Tip: Preup these fillings then refrigerate them. The day of the event, warm the tortillas and fill the tortillas with the toppings. Even better still wrap them in foil to serve easily; and your guests can just pick one.
6. Jam and Clotted Cream Scone
Scones are luxurious and easy to make, and they feel festive no matter when you are having a brunch. When you have served them up serve with clotted cream and jam to make it a very yummy and traditional treat.
Hint: Bake the scones a day early and keep them in a covered container so that they are fresh. Serve topped with clotted cream, and with jam on the side, so that people can spread it out themselves. Add zest of lemon or dried fruit to dough giving a little extra flavour to your liking.
7. Mimosa Bar
The drinks serve as a mimosa bar and the event is very lively with lots of interaction. Offer a variety of juices such as orange, cranberry and peach juices and have your guests top with sparkling wine or sparkling water; this could be non-alcoholic.
Hint: Prepare a table in the form of champagne and a variety of juice. Top with new fruit decor such as slices of citrus fruits or berries to make it look more festive. The customers will be able to make their ideal mimosa mixes depending on their preferences.
8. Croissant Sandwiches
Croissants are made of butter and are flaky with the ability to make sandwiches. Stuff them with turkey, cheese, lettuce, or egg salad and get an enjoyable and convenient to eat/ eat thing.
HINT: Purchase fresh croissants, cut them down the middle. Load them with the ingredients of your choice and then seal them in plastic wrap artistically, or foil, to keep until time of serving. Hummus and veggies is another option.
9. Yogurt Parfait Bar
A yogurt parfait stand is a healthy and a make-it-your-way addition to your brunch spread. Serve yogurt, granola, fresh fruit and honey in individual portions so that the guests can make their own parfait.
Hint: Divide the yogurt into cups in advance and put out bowls of granola, fruit and nuts. Even extras such as chia seeds or coconut flakes can be added to it to give it texture.
10. Caprese Skewers
Caprese skewers are the light and fresh solution with beautiful appearance and savour. Thread some mozzarella fresh balls (or cherry tomatoes and leaves of fine basil) on little skewers and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Tip: Place the skewers together in advance and keep them refrigerated until time of serving them. The marinated mozzarella should be in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before it is skewed for an additional taste.
11. Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls are a traditional brunch item and they are the absolute best baby shower recipe. Bake them hot with a sweet glaze which is comfort food.
Hint: You can make the cinnamon rolls in advance so that the next time you want to do it, simply put it in the refrigerator to rise overnight. Bake them in the morning and add glaze to them just fresh out of the oven the day of the brunch.
12. Tea Sandwiches
A baby shower brunch should include something light and elegant such as tea sandwiches. Prepare different fillings such as egg salad, cucumber cream cheese and smoked salmon and dill.
