20 Brunch Recipes for a Long Weekend

Lazy mornings. Extra cups of coffee. Blankets on the couch. Pajamas until noon. Isn’t this what long holiday weekends are all about? Well, these things and brunch, of course. This weekend you have a little extra time to make apple fritters or a batch of pumpkin cinnamon rolls, so go for it!

Here are 20 of our absolute favorite brunch recipes, from make-ahead winners like ham and cheese breakfast casserole to perennial crowd-pleasers like our lofty buttermilk pancakes (which really are so very lofty). Here’s wishing everyone a very happy, very merry holiday weekend!

Have some leftover ingredients from Thanksgiving that need using up? Look no further than our No-Knead Pumpkin Rolls or our dreamy Cranberry Cake (yes, cake for breakfast is legit). And if you already have a carton of eggnog waiting in the fridge for December 1st, then you absolutely have to make a batch of Eggnog Doughnut Muffin. You won’t be disappointed.
