Who deserves to be celebrated more than our moms? And even if your mom does that whole cute, "Oh, I don't need anything, sweetie" line, we know what that really means: Brunch is *really* what she wants for Mother's Day. Think about it: She gets to sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast of pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, and maybe even a mimosa. On Mother's Day, it's peak time to spoil your mom, and personally we don't know a better way to say "I love you, mom" than with a glistening fruit tart. Whatever you choose—please!—give mom the day off with one of these 75 Mother's Day brunch recipes. She's earned it.

Skip the flowers and wild lines at The Cheesecake Factory and really show the love by whipping up a legit brunch spread. Strawberry muffins, eggs Benedict, and even homemade bagels will speak louder than words. Show off your skills with crêpes topped with fresh berries, a loaded bagel with lox, or fluffy banana bread cinnamon rolls and you just might find yourself on family brunch duty from now on. Our green shakshuka is also an impressive stunner for your table, and couldn't be easier to whip up at the last minute. Served with either crusty bread or warm tortillas, you really cannot go wrong.
