1. Avocado Toast Bar
Set up an avocado toast bar and let your guests unleash their creativity. Offer a spread of freshly toasted bread, ripe avocados, and a variety of toppings like cherry tomatoes, radishes, and feta cheese. Add some flavor boosts with options like red pepper flakes, lemon wedges, and a selection of herbs. This bar not only serves up a popular and healthy brunch option but also caters to various tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring that everyone at the baby shower can enjoy crafting their perfect bite.
2. Mini Breakfast Tacos
Who doesn’t love tacos? If at your baby shower brunch you serve mini breakfast tacos they can be eaten easily and while mingling. Scramble eggs, dice veggies, add cheese and bring small tortillas for fillings, then give toppings or salsa, sour cream, guacamole. Lastly, if you want a special something, give choices of bacon or chorizo. The funny, laid back element this dish adds to your brunch reminds your guests that it’s their tastes and preferences that make this taco something so special.
3. Acai Bowl Station
Make a stand that will comprise an acai bowl station that will provide the pop of color and boost in nutrition you need for your brunch. Fill bowls with acai berry blend, and let guests dollop their bowls with mashed canned banana, berries, coconut shavings, granola and some honey. Not only is this station a beautiful addition to your brunch setup but it provides a fresh, healthy option in which you can customize, and offer to fit all tastes and dietary needs.
4. Citrus Parfait Cups
Citrus parfait cups are a light and refreshing choice that your guests will love, and are lovely for a Southern California brunch. Layer a yogurt and layer granola with a mix of citrus fruits like oranges, tangerines and grapefruit. At the same time, these parfaits are not only delicious but also proudly give a visually appealing addition to your brunch spread by the citrus’s fresh, tangy twist to the creamy yogurt and the crunchy granola. This option comes in handy especially if you have an early morning event — a burst of energy to get everyone going.
5. Seafood Ceviche
Give your baby shower brunch a refreshing twist with a gorgeous seafood ceviche dish to prepare for your crowd. Freshly caught shrimp or fish marinated in lime and the juice of lemon, on top of chopped onions, tomatoes and cilantro makes for an explosion of fresh flavors in this dish. Serve on the side of tortilla chips or small tostadas for dipping. If seafood at brunch is on your mind, consider adding ceviche to the mix, because it’s marinated, light, and healthy, while bringing you a taste of the ocean for celebrations on a sunny beach or non chillier spring day.
6. Egg Frittata Bites
These egg frittata bites are the perfect versatile and easy to eat option for a baby shower brunch. If you don’t already have a go to breakfast recipe, whip up a batch of these mini frittatas for a super quick breakfast that takes less than five minutes. Bake the mixture in a mini muffin dish until it’s fluffy and golden. These bites work great for guests to pick up and go as they mingle and can be served hot or at room temperature making them a perfect party bite for transitions.
7. Chicken and Waffle Sliders
Chicken and waffle sliders are a fun and satisfying way to add a little something different to any brunch menu. For a sweet savory twist, serve small crispy chicken fillets between minis waffles. Maple syrup drizzled or a dab of honey mustard for even more flavors. For a combination that’s good for your tummy and good for your cheeks, these sliders aren’t only delicious, but they’re also a conversation starter, infusing a lunchtime favorite with the classic breakfast waffle to make the perfect all day brunch treat.
8. Bagel and Lox Platter
Advance a great old standard with a bagel and lox platter. I stacked bagels that had just come out of the oven next to some smoked salmon, capers, thinly sliced red onions, cream cheese and fresh dill. Guests can create their own bagel sandwiches to exactly their liking. It’s kind of a nod to traditional brunch fare but also an elegant touch to your baby shower menu where everyone will have something refined and filling to eat.
9. Fresh Fruit Platter
A fresh fruit platter is a must-have for any baby shower brunch, especially in the vibrant settings of Southern California where fresh produce abounds. Arrange a colorful selection of fruits such as strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, melon, and mango. Consider adding unique touches like a sprinkle of chili powder and lime on watermelon for a tangy twist, or drizzling honey and mint over mixed berries for a refreshing flavor boost. This platter not only serves as a healthy option but also brightens up the table with its array of colors, making it both a feast for the palate and the eyes.
10. Mimosas and Sangria
No baby shower brunch is complete without a delightful beverage station. Offer mimosas and sangria as two staple drinks that guests can enjoy. For the mimosas, provide a variety of fresh juices like orange, grapefruit, and peach to mix with sparkling wine, allowing guests to create their favorite combinations. As for the sangria, prepare a light, fruity white sangria with plenty of citrus fruits and berries soaking in it, perfect for sipping on a sunny day. These drinks not only add an elegant touch to your brunch but also keep the atmosphere cheerful and festive, ensuring everyone has a glass in hand to toast to the mom-to-be.
