Brunch is kind of an exciting event.
You don’t have it very often and when you do, it’s normally with friends and/or family. So it kind of ends up feeling like a holiday (kind of).
Also, it gives you an excuse to make magazine-worthy recipes that shouldn’t be eaten in one sitting but probably will be.
And if you feel the same way, then here are some brunch ideas that might make your friends think you’re a cooking genius.
1. Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
I’ve had these more than once, and they are worth it. I promise.
Make them. Make them right away.

2. Savory Croissant Breakfast Casserole
This is comfort food wrapped up into a brunch recipe, and it begs to be the main at your brunch (or at least one of them).

3. Fluffy Brown Sugar Pancake

With buttery dark brown sugar goodness, they almost feel necessary.

4. Biscuit and Gravy Casserole
It’s biscuits and gravy made into a warm cozy hearty casserole.

5. Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream
Ok, if the strawberry cinnamon rolls weren’t for you and you’re craving the traditional recipe, then this is for you.
With heavy cream and butter, this is something that should probably be paired with coffee.
PS – The heavy cream hack has been going around on the internet, and it’s apparently really good!
