Uncomplicated/No-Bake Brunch Recipes?

[JAE]

I have two, possibley three, brunch shows coming up. I'm planning to make the Ham and Cheese Omelet Roll, but I need another recipe that's bake ahead or no-bake. Any ideas? I've offered the Fruit and Yogurt Parfait in the Trifle Bowl, but it didn't go over very well.
How can I make a "festive" looking trifle that works with brunch?

A great option for a festive trifle that works with brunch is a breakfast trifle. Start by layering granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, and/or other breakfast-friendly ingredients in a trifle bowl. You could also add a layer of crumbled pieces of muffins or scones for a crunchy texture. Top it off with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. This would make a great no-bake, bake-ahead dish for your brunch shows.
