Hosting a group of well-wishers? Try a make-ahead breakfast casserole or a large-format blueberry pancake. We have Father’s Day brunch recipes for Dads with a sweet tooth and those who prefer savory. There are baking projects like homemade bagels, riffs on fast-food favorites, and a couple of drinks to round things out.
