Sometimes brunch is an easier affair than hosting a holiday dinner. With this mix-and-match menu, you can take your pick of cocktails, salads and entrees to suit the crowd. Add a sweet sticky muffin that goes with everything and the menu is complete. And with everything (almost) make-ahead, all you'll have to do is toss or bake the dish in the morning for the maximum flavour with minimum fuss.
