Easy Father’s Day Brunch at Home: A Simple Menu and Plan

An easy Father’s Day brunch can be built around pancakes, eggs, fresh fruit and coffee or tea. Preparing ingredients in advance makes it easier to spend time together.

Plan an uncomplicated morning

• The day before, set out nonperishable plates, napkins and utensils.
• Wash fruit and prepare a small bowl of toppings; refrigerate perishable ingredients.
• Mix pancake dry ingredients ahead and combine with wet ingredients just before cooking.
• Cook eggs to each guest’s preference using safe food handling.
• Serve beverages and let guests choose how to build their plates.

Important consideration

Keep hot food hot and cold food chilled if brunch extends over a long gathering.

FAQ: Does Father’s Day always fall on the same June date?

No. In the United States it is the third Sunday in June, so the numbered date changes each year.
