50 New Year's Day Brunch Recipes To Kick Off 2023 With Something Delicious (2024)

Skip waking up to go through the drive-thru tomorrow morning—make our breakfast Crunchwrap supreme instead. This copycat recipe has everything you love about the classic: hash browns, eggs, bacon, cheese, and the iconic creamy jalapeño sauce, all layered between tortillas. It's even better (!!) than the original, but is perfectly ripe for variations and substitutions.

Huevos rancheros are one of those dishes that normally requires multiple cooking steps and a good amount of time. But what if all of those flavors could come together in a few easy steps? Enter: this huevos rancheros casserole. It's a true one-pan vegetarian wonder. All you have to do is just assemble, then enjoy the casserole—that’s it. This may be the easiest, most delicious breakfast you ever did see.

Banana bread is an obvious (and great) choice when you’re trying to figure out how to make use of some overripe bananas, but if you want to switch things up, try making these banana bread cinnamon rolls. Plus, they're topped with a maple cream cheese frosting to make for a very cozy brunch treat.

The contrast here between the crispy, flaky edges of the croissants and the soft, cheesy middle is very special. If you're able to, assemble everything on New Years Eve, and bake it off in the morning while everyone gets around to making their coffee.

Although baked instead of fried, this pull-apart ring is reminiscent of Israeli sufganiyot or Polish pączki, made easier for those of us who don't have a good fryer set up at home. Try it with whatever kind of jam you like!

If you’re looking for the ultimate breakfast casserole—loaded with Italian sausage, cheese, veggies, and bread—then this breakfast strata is it. It’s hearty enough to keep everyone satisfied, and is endlessly versatile—just like the classic frittata, a breakfast strata shines as an adaptable breakfast dish.

Chia seeds might sound intimidating, but in reality, they couldn't be easier to whip up into a delicious, customizable breakfast that'll start the new year off right. Not only do chia seeds pack in the health benefits, but once mixed with milk and refrigerated, they turn into the most delicious, creamy pudding that only requires 5 minutes of prep time.

If mimosas are your thing, stop here! If they aren’t, you should still stick around. Cranberries, oranges, and bubbly Prosecco incorporated into a tender cake? And for breakfast too? This is what New Years' Day breakfast dreams are made of.

While there's no shame in devouring slices of leftover New Years' Day pizza, if you want a substantial meal for breakfast, turn to this pizza frittata. It's loaded up with all your faves—marinara, shredded mozzarella, and sliced pepperoni—in a fun, brunch-friendly form.

One of our favorite seasonal drinks is a gingerbread latte, so we thought—why not turn it into an easy New Years' Day breakfast? When it comes to easy, nothing beats a sheet-pan dinner, so we knew we'd have success with pancakes made the same way. These are the BEST way to serve brunch to your whole holiday crowd.

A Bloody Mary always starts with a mix of tomato juice and vodka, but from there it can go anywhere. We love our classic with a bit of heat from hot sauce, horseradish, and black pepper. We also added pickle juice to ours, but feel free to skip (or add extra!).
