158 Easter Recipes
Wow, did Easter creep up on me this year! Does your family have any Easter traditions? A big brunch… a casual get together… an Easter egg hunt for the kids… typical ham, potatoes, and traditional side dishes? My grandma always baked some special things at Easter, and our menu has always been built around traditional lamb, ham and potato dishes.
Today I’m sharing a round up of some of my favorite Easter foods. You’ll find ideas for breakfasts, brunches, appetizers, side dishes, and desserts. If you’re putting together a menu this week, I think you’ll find some great ideas in the list below. Enjoy!

What’s on your Easter menu this year?
I make crepes with berries for Easter morning and the day always includes Deviled Eggs. Good Friday is traditionally scallops. Thanks for a great round-up of recipes!
Love that the sweets win out in this post. So many goodies!
I am going to try making your grandmother’s Bacon and Cheese Easter Bread on Saturday. Although I bake a lot of sweets I don’t do bread/yeast but this recipe seems not too complicated. Wish me luck!
I’m from Australia, where Easter is a four-day event. Good Friday and Easter Monday are both public holidays. On the Thursday before Easter, my family buys loads of hot cross buns from a bakery chain called Bakers Delight – my favourites are the choc chip and mocha varieties. We eat these all weekend. On Good Friday we get fish and chips for dinner from one of the local fish and chip shops. The rest of the weekend is spent enjoying the cooler weather (Easter falls in autumn in Australia), eating lots of hot cross buns, and of course, chocolate! I’m living in the US now so I’ve taken to making my own hot cross buns. I’ll be making my own fish and chip shop style food on Friday and have had some of the good Australian chocolate shipped over!
This is great for Easter, but I also figure this is my entire spring menu for April May and June – what a round-up! :)
What a great roundup of recipes! I just love all those lovely ladies who do the cooking around the holidays. And I’m there to help test! Anyhow, we do a big Easter Egg hunt for the girls. Wife wants me to dress up as the Easter bunny but the costume doesn’t fit me because I’m too tall! Too tall Jones here.
I’m drooling at all of these wonderful Easter recipes. I can’t believe it’s almost April already. Where did this year go? I’m looking forward to spending time with my family this weekend and hope you have a lovely and relaxing Easter as well.
