Bonus Hosting Tips
Bonus: Here are a few tips for hosting a great brunch: I love choosing a make-ahead menu. Quiche or frittatas are a great choice, for a make-ahead meal. I like to serve them with fresh fruit mini muffins and creamy butter. I make everything the day before and pop everything into the oven a half hour before the guests are due to arrive. Don’t forget to have non-alcoholic drinks on hand for those who don’t drink. I also set the table the day before so everything is ready well before the guests arrive, and I have ample time to get ready and feel relaxed before my guests arrive.
