Cold Brunch & Breakfast Appetizers

Let’s take a look at my favorite cold breakfast appetizers you can make for a breakfast party.

These cold brunch appetizers below are perfect for a buffet-style breakfast for a crowd at work, home, school, a breakfast party. a bridal shower, etc – or whenever you need to plan what bite-size cold brunch food to make.

Strawberry Bites

I first saw these Strawberry Bites on Instagram and thought they would be PERFECT cold appetizers for my brunch parties – aren’t they pretty!?!?

Guess what? They are SUPER easy to make!

Slice up some French bread (or whatever bread you want), smear some cream cheese on each piece, put cut strawberry slivers on it as the “flower” , a thin slice of cucumber for the “stem” and 2 basil leaves as the leaves.

That’s it!

Not only were they delicious, but they were elegant and impressive appetizer bites too!

Cucumber Snack Bites

These super simple cold cucumber bites have a brunch twist by sprinkling Everything Bagel seasoning on top of the flavored cream cheese.

And YES – use FLAVORED cream cheese – the plain cream cheese is good, but not GREAT.

I personally like * this flavor of cream cheese * the best for this recipe.

Brunch Party Fruit Dip

Such a simple cold breakfast appetizer idea and the dip only has 4 ingredients:

• Softened Cream Cheese
• Canned Crushed Pineapple
• 1 Cup Cool Whip
• 1 Package Vanilla Instant Pudding

Then, just serve this breakfast dip with any types of fruit for dipping you want.

Yes! You can use frozen fruit! In fact, frozen fruit can be easier to work with than fresh fruit (and it travels well too) – blueberries are my favorite!
