need idea for brunch
I feel like we've had this discussion recently but I can't find it...Shawn and I are going to an Easter brunch and I want to bring something. Here is what she is serving:
Mimosas of course
Quiche of some sort (most likely tomato & zucchini)
Lemon Shrimp & Asparagus w/ or w/out angel hair pasta
Prosciutto & Melon
Goat Cheese & Crostinis
Blueberry Buckle (a coffee cake with blueberries and pears)
Chocolate Eggs & Jelly Beans
I want to take something easy but still kind of impressive. Ideas?

Re: need idea for brunch
I'm a fan of easy appetizers made with puff pastry. There are tons of recipes online for whatever flavor you like, and the bonus is that it will appear that you slaved over them, lol.

I do a really easy one that is the meat from a rotissery chicken shredded and mixed with 1 package of cream cheese and 1/4 cup sour cream. Add your favorite spices or herbs. I have used dill, basil, sage, and rosemary is my favorite. Then buy the Pillsbury cresent roll dough and drop a spoon full of the chicken mixture in the middle and pull the corners together and seal the edges with and egg wash. Brush top with melted butter and sprinkle parm cheese and bake until brown. super easy!
PW's apple dumplings or cinnamon rolls would be great!
Stuffed mushrooms can be really easy and are usually a crowd pleaser. I don't have a favorite, but even just a cream cheese/garlic/chopped mushroom/bread crumb filling would be yummy.
Maybe scones or a savory biscuit?
In any case, the menu sounds great! Enjoy!
I was going to say this, almost verbatim. Eerie
I tried this asparagus tart over the weekend, but with only parmesan. It was great, but since they're already making an asparagus dish, I wouldn't recommend.
I was looking at these earlier today...
Gorgonzola & Walnut Bites
Baked Pears
Wrapped pears
So, um, can I come to that brunch? Yummmmz.
