8 Spring Brunch Boards for a Relaxed Easter Morning

Grazing boards built for Easter mornings, from sweet pastries to savoury egg spreads.

1. Hot cross bun and butter board

Warm the buns, then set them beside a slab of whipped honey butter, orange marmalade, and a small dish of clotted cream. Guests build their own bite, and you avoid any last-minute plating.

02 / 08

2. Deviled egg platter with herb toppers

Pipe the yolk filling into halved eggs and top each with a different garnish: chives, smoked paprika, tiny capers, or crisp bacon. A tray of them vanishes within minutes, so make more than you think.

3. Smoked salmon and bagel board

Arrange folded salmon, cream cheese, cucumber ribbons, red onion, and dill around mini bagels. The pink and green palette suits spring and needs no cooking at all.

04 / 08

4. Fresh berry and yoghurt bar

Set out bowls of Greek yoghurt beside strawberries, blueberries, granola, and a jar of honey. Serve in small glasses so it feels a little special and mess stays low.

05 / 08

5. Mini quiche and asparagus tray

Bake muffin-tin quiches with asparagus tips and goat's cheese, then lay them beside blanched spears and a lemony dip. Asparagus is at its best in spring, so the flavour tastes seasonal.

6. Pastry and croissant spread

Fill a basket with warm croissants, pain au chocolat, and almond twists, then add jam pots and sliced fruit. Buy them from a bakery and rewarm briefly for bakery-fresh flakiness.

07 / 08

7. Waffle and maple bar

Keep waffles warm in a low oven and let everyone top their own with maple syrup, whipped cream, and fruit. Kids treat it as an activity, and you get to sit down with your coffee.

8. Spring salad and cured meats board

Pair pea shoots, radishes, and shaved fennel with sliced ham, soft cheese, and crusty bread. It gives the table something fresh and savoury to balance all the sweets.
