Sweet & Spooky: Plan a Halloween Weekend Brunch

Halloween weekend isn’t just for candy, make it brunch-worthy. At Modern Plate (Elmhurst, IL) we’re bringing the sweet-and-spooky vibes with cozy fall plates, playful sips, and a laid-back scene perfect for families, friend groups, and costume crews alike. Here’s your guide to planning the most delicious Halloween weekend ever.

Sweet Treats (No Tricks)

  • Apple Pie French Toast – Apple bread stacked with caramel-sautéed apples, pecans, and chantilly. It’s basically dessert for breakfast—but better.

  • Cinnamon Roll French Toast – Thick, frosted, and layered with cinnamon-cream-cheese goodness. Warning: vanishes quickly.

  • Berrylicious Challah French Toast – Sweetened berry cream + berry compote for a jewel-toned plate that pops on camera.

Savory Crowd-Pleasers

  • Crab Cakes Benny – Poached eggs on homemade crab cakes with roasted red pepper hollandaise, luxurious and totally brunch-boss.

  • Athenian Lamb Chops & Eggs – Three grilled chops with eggs your way and breakfast potatoes. Protein power, Greek flair.

  • Tuscan Frittata – Basil, sundried tomato, Jack & parmesan, light, flavorful, and shareable.

Sips with Spirit(s)

  • Bear Down Bloody Mary (9AM–2PM) – A stacked game-day classic and the ultimate costume-party icebreaker.

  • Mimosas & Peach Bellinis – Bright, bubbly pairings for sweet plates.

  • Pecan Old Fashioned – If your brunch rolls into lunch, this cozy fall sipper is pure sweater-weather.

Pro Tips for a Fang-Tastic Brunch

  • Reserve Early: Halloween weekend fills fast—book your table for 9AM–2PM.

  • Come in Costume: We love a theme. Family-friendly fits and brunch-with-the-crew looks are welcome.

  • Mix Sweet + Savory: Split a sweet French toast and a savory Benny for the best of both worlds.

  • Make It Easy: Hosting later? Order a few handhelds or flatbreads to go and keep the party rolling.
