What’s better than brunch? A summer brunch! We loved putting together this party for our family to celebrate summer. We kept the menu easy and elevated with an iced coffee bar, frittata, bacon, and a cherry galette for dessert.

We kept the decorations bright and fresh to celebrate summer. Orange and red spray roses in vases dotted the table that we covered with a fun cherry wrapping paper. We used gold chargers and white plates with more spray roses tucked into the napkin rings at each place setting for a pop of color.

Iced Coffee Bar with Simple Syrups

We brewed up some homemade cold brew and froze coffee ice cubes in advance. To create our ice cubes, we filled a small round ice cube tray with coffee the night before our brunch. For the simple syrups, we combined equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan and heated gently until dissolved, then we added in our flavors. For the coffee bar, we did cardamom, brown sugar cinnamon, and vanilla. We used some mason jars with labels to make it easy for guests to create their own drinks. We also included little pitchers of milk and cream and straws for stirring and sipping.

Spinach and Goat Cheese Frittata | Brown Sugar Bacon

Frittatas are a great way to serve eggs for a crowd. You can whip it up in advance and keep it warm in the oven or even serve at room temperature. For ours, we sauteed spinach in a pan and then added goat cheese on top before popping the pan in the oven. Serve family style on a platter or cake stand.

We recommend cooking bacon in the oven for a party instead of on the stovetop. You can cook it all at once with less mess on a sheet pan. We used this recipe for Brown Sugar Bacon from The Food Network. Be sure to use a thicker cut bacon if following this recipe!

Cherry Galette

For the galette, we followed Smitten Kitchen’s any-kind-of-fruit galette recipe. We made ours with sweet cherries that are in season. The homemade crust is unbelievably flaky, but if you’re short on time, use store-bought pie crust.
