Celebrate Independence Day with a star-spangled brunch spread! Whether you’re hosting a backyard bash or enjoying a cozy morning at home, these 15 festive recipes will add patriotic flair to your table. 
I love brunch that has a few themed items (like a taco bar or a bagel board), a casserole and salad, or a lot of finger foods that everyone gets to choose a little of what they like. For this list of July 4th brunch recipes + cocktail ideas, I’m going for a little of each to inspire your own spread!

4th of July Brunch Ideas I Think You’ll Love

From savory delights to sweet treats, each dish should inspire a party platter, a sit-down brunch, or finger foods you’ll be proud to share.

1. Goat Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

Sweet cherry tomatoes filled with tangy goat cheese make a refreshing, bite-sized appetizer—ideal for a light and festive 4th of July brunch. These take a little time to hollow out each tomato but these are so good and disappear fast. Goes wonderfully with a Rose World Cocktail.

2. Bacon Deviled Eggs

Classic deviled eggs get a savory upgrade with crispy bacon and sharp cheddar, offering a smoky twist perfect for Independence Day celebrations. All in one bacon and eggs, if you will. So tasty! Goes great with a Cucumber Martini.

3. Sausage & Potato Casserole

Hearty sausage and tender potatoes baked in a cheesy casserole provide a comforting main dish to anchor your patriotic brunch menu. I love this so much. The different onions really pull this from ho-hum to oh, wow! Goes great with my Jalapeño Lime Fizz.

4. Mixed Berry Pastries

Flaky puff pastry filled with a medley of fresh berries creates a delightful, red-and-blue dessert that’s both festive and delicious. Good to go with my lightly sweet Cranberry Mojito.

5. Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal

Combining the flavors of banana bread with wholesome oats, this baked dish offers a cozy, make-ahead option for a crowd-pleasing brunch. Goes great with our simple Lemon Vodka Cocktail.

6. Cinnamon French Toast

Thick slices of bread soaked in a cinnamon-infused batter and cooked to golden perfection make for a classic brunch favorite anytime. French toast is far and away my favorite breakfast carb. This is my passion project, and I hope my steps help you get the richest, most indulgent FT for your small gathering.

7. Maple Bacon Butter (Compound Butter)

A savory blend of crispy bacon, maple syrup, and creamy butter adds a rich, indulgent spread for biscuits or croissants. You can dab it on grilled meats too.

8. White Gravy

This creamy, peppery white gravy is a Southern staple that pairs beautifully with biscuits, adding comfort and flavor to your holiday table. Here in the south, it goes with every breakfast meat and casserole you think of, so if you have it available in a little crockpot, I promise it will be thoroughly enjoyed.
