One of the sweetest gifts you can give Dad this Father's Day is spending quality time together. So we suggest gathering your family around the table to celebrate Pops with a grand Father's Day brunch. Treat him to a meal full of home-cooked food fit for a king. While he might just be happy with the simple things in life, this is the one day of the year that is all about him, so why not go all out? If he prefers sweet flavors, he'll love our Slow-Cooker Cinnamon Roll Casserole or Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Casserole.

For those who like to take a walk on the savory side, our Breakfast Enchiladas or Sausage-Potato Frittata are sure to be a home run. These brunch recipes are easy enough to make that you may consider making both a sweet and a savory dish so your brunch spread is even more impressive. Dad will appreciate the hard work and love that goes into each dish on the table. Let Dad soak up that quality time and maybe some maple syrup pancakes at the same time.
