A strata is a sophisticated take on the classic breakfast casserole. You can mix everything the night before and bake just before the guests arrive, and it's versatile enough you can change ingredients to fit special dietary needs or preferences. "Simple and easy actually fun to make. I will make this again and tweak it with adding other veggies. It was great as is. Hubby loved it too!" writes reviewer STARNETSA.

No bridal shower brunch menu is complete without crispy, seasoned potatoes, but it's ideal to find a recipe that won't require you to cook batch after batch in a frying pan while guests stream into your home. To get a head start on these potatoes, you can microwave, cool, and chop the potatoes the day before the brunch. Let them come to room temperature while you're getting things ready. Then, finish with a saut? until they're crispy and browned.

You can serve it cold or at room temperature easily.

If the bridal shower falls during tomato season, capitalize on the beautiful bounty with this unbeatable tomato tart. In both presentation and taste, this savory tart is unlike anything your guests have likely had at a bridal shower before. "One layer of tomato is plenty, since more than that will make for an overly wet tart, which means your pastry will not stay crispy," advises recipe creator Chef John.
Bacon and Egg Tacos

With fluffy scrambled eggs and salty, crispy crumbled bacon, these tacos bridge the gap between breakfast and brunch beautifully. Without a juicy sauce, these handheld appetizers are easy for guests to hold, and they won't have to worry about dripping or dropping anything onto their beautiful shower attire. Set up a bar of toppings, and let each guest make their own tacos.
