5 Crowd-Pleasing Brunch Recipes for Spring

PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Hosting brunch this weekend? Don’t fret. Cooking for a crowd doesn’t have to be stressful or even time-consuming. With a little planning, you can get an impressive spread on the table in no time. Best of all, you can still serve up classics like a frittata and deviled eggs — without breaking the calorie bank. Read on for five healthy and delicious recipes that are sure to impress even the pickiest of guests!



Avocado Deviled Eggs

PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Deviled eggs are a brunch classic, but they tend to be loaded with calories. This healthy spin from Ella Claire uses avocado instead of mayonnaise to create a filling that’s just as flavorful and creamy as traditional deviled eggs. Simply blend together the avocado and hard-boiled egg yolks and add a touch of sour cream, lemon, salt, and pepper.

Asparagus Gruyère Tart
Nothing says spring like asparagus, and this mouthwatering recipe from Hip Foodie Mom makes excellent use of the delicious veggie. Though this dish looks impressive, it’s quite easy to put together. Fresh asparagus spears get layered over Gruyère cheese (to keep calories in check, we suggest cutting it back to 2 cups) and puff pastry. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the end gives it a tangy (and beautiful!) finish.



Sausage and Mushroom Frittata
If you’re short on time, a frittata like this tasty one from Kitschen Cat is a great way to get food on the table fast. Mushrooms, onions, and kale are sautéed with sausage (we suggest using a chicken or turkey variety) and then combined with eggs and baked in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving to add more savory goodness.



Greek Yogurt Fruit Tart
Dessert doesn’t have to be a calorie bomb. This refreshing fruit tart from Sally’s Baking Addiction looks indulgent but is actually super healthy. Plus, there’s no baking involved! Dates and cashews come together to form a smooth, moist “crust.” Spread on some protein-packed Greek yogurt and top with sliced fruit for a dessert that’s as healthy as it is delicious.



Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham
This delicious recipe from Back to Her Roots takes traditional ham to the next level. And the good news is it couldn’t be easier to make. Brown sugar, honey, mustard, and cloves come together to form the glaze. Letting the ham baste in your slow cooker, and giving it a quick turn under the broiler, results in an irresistible, glossy coating. Since ham tends to be high in sodium, stick to one slice. If you have leftovers, use it to flavor soups and stews. And remember: A little goes a long way!
