Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to planning a brunch, especially if it is your first time hosting one on your own.

Some are more of a main dish with little extra needed. These types of brunch recipes are nice for a small amount of people. Other foods are neater finger foods that work well for a buffet when you have a lot of guests.
