Imagine waking up each day to a full spread featuring your favorite brunch recipes—including mimosas. Okay, maybe that's not entirely reasonable, but we say it's a commendable goal, and we're happy to do what we can to help make it happen (or, at least plan for your next available weekend morning).

Not only are all these plates perfect for family brunches, but most of them can be made quickly, or even ahead of time, so you aren't spending your whole weekend morning in the kitchen. Because it's not really a relaxing brunch if you have to get up early and spend hours in the kitchen to make it.

Whether you prefer sweet or savory options, this list has it all. There are, of course, plenty of dishes featuring eggs—including quiches, frittatas, and toasts. But we've also rounded up tons of pancake recipes and breakfast casserole recipes, many of which can even be prepared ahead of time. There are also breads, drinks, sweet treats (looking at you, donut holes), and even simple-but-elegant options like yogurt, or granola.

You can definitely make these recipes any day of the week, but they'd also be great to serve at your holiday feast, whether it's Mother's Day, Father's Day, or Christmas morning. Of course, to complete your brunch—especially if it's a special occasion—you should also serve a refreshing mimosa. Now that's a brunch everyone will want to attend.
