# Home brunch checklist — a relaxed late-morning table Brunch sits between breakfast and lunch, an unhurried table for friends, but with sweet and savory dishes plus drinks the shopping easily gets scattered. This list covers everything from eggs and orange juice to serving boards and napkins, and with a room code everyone ticks off what they bring. No sign-up needed. **In short:** A home brunch needs eggs, croissants and bread, a few cheeses, butter and jam, avocado, yogurt and granola, pancake ingredients, fresh fruit, orange juice, tea and coffee. Cook the eggs last and set everything else on the table before guests arrive. If you make the pancake batter and cut the fruit a day ahead, only the cooking is left in the morning. ## What's on the list ### General - Butter and jam - Serving boards and platters - Plates and cutlery - Glasses and cups - Napkins - Tablecloth and flowers ### Dairy & breakfast - Eggs — 2 per person - Cheese selection - Yogurt and granola - Milk or plant milk ### Bakery - Croissants and bread ### Fruit & vegetables - Avocado - Tomatoes and cucumbers - Fresh fruit ### Pantry staples - Pancake ingredients ### Meat & fish - Sucuk or sausages ### Drinks - Orange juice — freshly squeezed - Tea and coffee - Sparkling water and lemon ## Tips - Cook the eggs last and set everything else (cheese, jam, fruit, yogurt) on the table before guests arrive, so you can sit down with them. - Prepare the pancake batter and cut the fruit a day ahead, so only the cooking is left in the morning. - Warm the croissants and bread briefly in the oven just before serving; warm bread changes the mood of a table. - Ask in advance whether anyone is vegetarian, gluten-free or lactose-free, and add an option for each to the table. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much food do you need per person for a brunch? Roughly two eggs, a slice or two of bread or a croissant, a few slices of cheese and a bowl of fruit per person is a good starting point. A balance of sweet and savory options works better than a lot of just one thing. ### What time is brunch usually held? Usually between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with most invitations starting around 11. State the time clearly in the invitation so late risers can come relaxed. ### What can be prepared ahead for a brunch? Pancake batter, cut fruit, granola and yogurt can be prepared the day before, and the cheese board and jams can be set out before guests arrive. Hot dishes like eggs are cooked just before serving. ### Can I change the list? Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories. ### Do I need an account? No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup. ### How long is the list kept? As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock. ### Can I install it on my phone? Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap. --- [Start a room with this list](https://ortakliste.app/en/list/home-brunch-party-checklist) — 19 items go straight into your new room; delete what you don't need, add what's missing.
