Bruschetta is good as a starter. Get some good quality sourdough bread and make thick slices. Toast it and rub garlic on one side. Quarter some organic tomatoes and press them into th etoast, sprinkle with some fresh chopped basil and seaon with salt and cracked pepper. Maybe have some chicken salad with a honey, soy dressing with sesame seeds over a mixed leaf salad with roast chicken, bacon (whatever else you like) and some fried asian crispy noodles from the store. Yummy.
Savory or sweet stuffed french toast is nice, a fruit plate, a cheese plate, breads, both sweet and not, a meat or two (ham works well here), possibly something like a seafood newburg, a salad, waffles, which can be topped with the newburg or syrup; coffee, tea, milk, juices.

The trick is to offer a combination of breakfast and lunch items.
Consider the following for a delicious brunch:
Sliced Fruit
Sausage
Bacon
BBQ Chicken
Carved Meats
Scrambled Eggs
Poached Eggs
Cornbread
Caesar Salad
Boiled Shrimp
Catfish Bites
Roasted Potatoes
Chicken Jambalaya
Bread Pudding
Chocolate Cake.
Like dim sum, I imagine the goal of brunch to be getting a taste of just about everything offered. I generally set up my brunch on a buffet with plenty of small plates, salad forks, teaspoons, and napkins. Pitchers of Orange juice and bottles of Champagne for Mimosas, all the fixing's for Bloody Mary's, hot coffee, and tea, and plenty of bottled water, all round out the buffet.
Pick up extra copies of the Sunday paper. Design the leisurely mood with Jazz or Classical music on the CD-player, and a fire in the fireplace. For extra leisure, and for your less-modest guests, have them arrive in pajamas and slippers.

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
