Is this enough food for a brunch?

in TTC after 35

I'm having my parents and MH's parents and a friend over for brunch and this is what I have so far.

French Toast Souffle (yum), Egg Frittata w/sausage, and then some desserts like mini lime tarts and mini pecan tarts. Coffee and OJ. MH wanted me to do mini bacon mac n cheese and my boss thought I should have some ham/mini buns. I feel like that is too much now. This is really suppose to be simple.

Should I just minus the ham and mac n cheese? Any thoughts on something else to add? Thanks :)

    Sounds yummy.  Maybe have some fruit/berries, too?  A little something on the lighter side.

    I don't feel like you need the ham and mac.  It sounds amazing and like plenty of food!

     

    Have fun!

    I think the fruit would be good or instead of the ham and mac just serve some bacon on side maybe. Sounds yummy otherwise.

    That sounds like enough food! Especially if you have plenty of OJ, mimosas, etc. to drink.

    And I think I need the recipe for the french toast souffle! I'm a brunch junkie (even my wedding was a Sunday brunch reception!).
