This year, forgo the ham for Easter brunch and try roasting a juicy coffee-crusted pork tenderloin instead. Affordable, tasty, and nearly impossible to mess up, this flavorful cut is a surefire crowd pleaser—especially when it's finished with a smoky, savory rub. Classic hash browns sliced into crispy wedges and a colorful, crisp radish and citrus salad round out the springtime feast.
