What should I make for Easter brunch?

[Anonymous]

My friend is hosting a potluck Easter brunch. I'm in search of a recipe that I can make the night before and heat up at her house (an hour away) on Easter morning. Even better if I can leave it in my car while I'm in Mass (1 hour), thus eliminating the need to return home after Mass to pick up the dish. I don't know what anyone else is bringing yet.

How about baking something the day before? Hot cross buns or muffins or a lemon pound cake for example.

If you store any food in your car, definitely put it in a cooler even if you need to warm it up once you get to your friend's.

Baked ham is nice.

I'm an excellent cook but a mediocre baker. And the host and one of the other guests are phenomenal bakers. I think if I claimed a baked item my friends would secretly be sad that one of the phenomenal bakers wasn't making that item.

What if you did Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce? Easy enough to blanch the asparagus and make the Hollandaise the night before, put it all on ice in a cold carrier and it will be easy to put on a nice platter when you get to your friend's house.

Quiche. Perfect for any brunch. Make the night before, keep it on ice until you get to your friend's. Serve at room temp or warm it briefly in a low oven.

Why don't you do something normally associated with Passover? For example, apples with honey, something with salmon, or appetizers made with Motzah crackers.

Because it’s Easter. And she’s going to church beforehand. Would you recommend bringing an Easter ham for Passover?
