Setting up for a successful Sunday Brunch


Posted by PicasaFor an easy Sunday brunch I like to include at least three different fish items. They can be smoked salmon, poached salmon and white fish or shrimp cocktail.  Always include a good choice of vegetables and salads.  I love tomato-mozzarella salad with pesto sauce.  It is something you can prepare at the last minute as it only takes minutes to slice the tomatoes and mozzarella.  Include at least three types of cheeses, breads, bagels,etc.  Something your guest will enjoy preparing for themselves.  Have all the condiments in front or in the center of the tray so your guest don't have to ask you for cream cheese for example.
I also like to include a nice artichoke and roasted pepper salad at the buffet table to add a splash of color.  A brunch is an easy way to entertain friends and family.  Serve Champagne and mimosas with Sunday brunch to add a touch of elegance to your event.
Enjoy it!!
