Tips for building a gluten-free Easter brunch spread
For a balanced Easter brunch, choose a mix of recipes from different categories. A savoury centrepiece such as quiche, asparagus casserole or tart works well alongside a fresh salad and one or two handheld options like muffins or pasties. Finish with a few sweet bakes, such as hot cross buns, cupcakes or madeleines, to create a table that feels generous and festive without being overwhelming.
