Collection of Recipes perfect for Easter or any occasion - including breakfast, brunch and dinner recipes.
Easter is just around the corner. Are you ready? Or are you still trying to find the perfect dish for breakfast or dinner?
I've got you covered with this collection of Easter Recipes!
Eggs
Hard boiled eggs are a must for Easter, especially if you're decorating eggs for an egg hunt. I have two different methods for making perfect hard cooked eggs.
Boiling up eggs is easy, as long as you follow a few tips!
If you have an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker, the absolute perfect hard cooked eggs are just minutes away.
Deviled eggs are a must and are a perfect way to use up all those Easter eggs.
I even have a method for dying Easter eggs with natural dyes!
Easter Breakfast
For us, Easter always begins with a great breakfast. We love to take time to start the morning together.
Cheesy Baked Eggs are an easy way to serve a hearty breakfast to a crowd.
If you're looking for something a bit more elegant, these puff pastry baked eggs are delicious and a show stopper.
Apricot sweet rolls are similar to a cinnamon roll, but filled with an apricot filling. Delicious!
Puff Pastry Pinwheels make breakfast a bit more special. They are impressive, yet not too difficult to make.
Easter Dinner
Our Easter dinner usually includes a baked ham, several sides and dessert. Choose your favorites and make it you own!
Easter dinner doesn't have to be difficult, but it should be special. This baked ham with citrus glaze is always a hit.
Green Bean Almondine is a favorite in our house. These beans are made with fresh green beans, garlic, almonds, butter and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
Orzo salad with asparagus can be made ahead of time and is full of bright spring flavors.
Oatmeal Dinner Rolls can be made ahead of time and make great the next day too!
Easter Desserts
Anything goes when it comes to Easter desserts! Go ahead and make a special Easter treat or whip up your favorite cake or pie!
Carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting is a traditional Easter dessert.
Strawberry Roll Cake makes an impressive statement that's sure to get plenty of Oohhs and Aahhs!
Fun Rice Krispies Treats with Easter candy.
Easter Leftovers
With a large baked ham, there are bound to be leftovers. You might want to make this Ham Tetrazzini , Ham and Bean Soup, Ham and Cheese Biscuits or this tasty Ham and Rice Casserole.
Ham Tetrazzini - creamy and delicious pasta with chunks of ham.
Ham and Bean Soup is a great way to use up the ham bone and that the last bits of leftover ham.
These tasty Ham and Cheese Biscuits are perfect for an easy grab-and-go breakfast or lunch.
You just can't go wrong with a baked casserole dish. This Ham and Rice Casserole is a family favorite!
Don't forget the egg salad.

Hey Kathy - I hope you all had a beautiful Easter. What a great collection of Easter recipes here. The ham looks extra delish w/the citrus glaze and I love your softly colored Easter eggs with natural dyes. We had a nice Easter too, but one of the kids has mono and has had a lot of complications. We had to cxl our Easter dinner with guests just an hour before. I felt bad, but what do you do? We were headed to the ER. Hope everyone is well at your house and you are welcoming spring. (It was snowing here this morning....sigh) Hope 'springs" eternal.
Kathy says
Oh my goodness! I hope everyone is okay. We had snow on Easter too....although we were out of town so we didn't really get the full dose of Mother Nature playing April Fools on everyone!

I love this lineup of Easter recipes, Kathy! Easter might be over, but I'm still craving all of these...especially those puff pastry pinwheels and the ham. (Just not together...haha!) We had a low-key Easter here as our families both live a long ways off, but we still had fun. Hope you and the family had a great holiday! 🙂
Kathy says
Thanks, David! It snowed on Easter Day...maybe that's just Mother Nature's way of saying April Fools!

My hubs and I usually go rouge for Easter dinner as our families live across the country but if they lived near me I would make them this crazy awesome looking spread in a heartbeat! Those deviled eggs look bonkers good!

I hope your Easter was fabulous with whatever you decided to do.
