Time is running out to finalize brunch ideas for your Mother’s Day menu! Every year we celebrate moms for all they’ve done for us over the years and Sunday brunch is the go-to for most of us. According to OpenTable noon is the most popular time to enjoy your meal with mom, it’s the biggest brunching day of the year and restaurants get 3X more reservations than any other Sunday. So if you haven’t made one yet, you may be out of luck. The good news is that you’ve still got plenty of time to pull off an amazing brunch that says, ‘I love you and you taught me well.’
Start your brunch ideas by setting a festive table. Edible arrangements make a gorgeous and mouthwatering centerpiece for the table. FoodNetwork has some fantastic options like mini cupcake topiary, gumball and fruit leather roses or a more low-key vase of marshmallow pussy willows.

Now for your Mother’s Day menu!
Everyone loves a good quiche and Potato & Soyrizo Quiche makes a scrumptious vegetarian entree or an unusual twist on the usual breakfast potato sides. Eggs Benedict with a rich Hollandaise sauce is another impressive brunch indulgence You can stick to the classic recipe or try one of these 8 elevated versions like Mexican Eggs Benedict with Chorizo Biscuits & Chipotle Hollandaise or the healthier New Eggs Benedict.
Serve up some homemade Jalapeño Bagels with cream cheese and lox and a round of Lazy Sunday Mimosas to round out your meal.
Of course our brunch ideas aren’t complete without dessert! For those who don’t have a raging sweet tooth, Sweet Corn Cake with Fruit & Whipped Cream is a deliciously light option. Lemon pudding cake with Fresh Mixed Berries is a slightly sweeter and airier option.
If you want to fancy up your spread a little more, edible flowers make a really lovely garnish for desserts, salads and even entrees.
Nothing helps you digest brunch like a stroll in the park or settling in for a good chick flick. The star-studded Mother’s Day movie is an obvious choice though Julia Roberts’ red wig is a tad distracting and Time’s review opens with, “Hate your mom? Take her to see Mother’s Day, an ensemble comedy that’s being billed as sweet and heartwarming but which is actually an insidious form of torture.” Maybe stick to an afternoon with Netflix….
