Do-ahead brunch
Serve your guests a morning meal that is sure to impress (and is made almost entirely the night before)
When you want to offer guests a more elegant morning meal option than cereal ― yet avoid the staggered-style service of pancakes and omelets ― try this menu, which can be made almost entirely the evening before: sweet rolls, a cheesy egg bake with Swiss chard, and rosemary- and black pepper-spiced pears. Cook up some bacon or sausages, pour the juice and coffee, and you’re set. Your guests will think you were up at dawn.
GAME PLAN
The day before
