Savory Easter Recipes
If you prefer savory over sweet, I’ve also got a delicious collection of savory Easter recipes. Crescent Roll Egg Cups with Bacon are a quick and easy make-ahead option that’s perfect for feeding a crowd, or serve a batch of Easy Cheese Scones made with three kinds of cheese alongside a bowl of Creamy White Asparagus Soup for an elegant spring meal.
A simple Easy Egg Salad is wonderful on toast, in sandwiches, or piled onto a freshly baked slice of Braided Bread. And, if you’re after a fuss-free bread that needs no yeast and no kneading, these Easy Greek Yogurt Bread buns are the ideal side dish to your Easter main meal.
Tips for Making These Easter Recipes
Whether you’re preparing for spring-inspired parties and gatherings or specifically for Easter, here are a few tips and tricks that’ll guarantee success.
- Make ahead: Certain elements of these Easter recipes can be prepared the day or night before which can help create a stress-free holiday season. Lemon curd, Lemon Poppy Seed Zucchini Bread (or similar sweet breads) can be stored in the fridge and freezer for easy holiday preparation.
- Decoration: Easy ways to add a pop of spring cheer to any baked Easter treat is by using pastel-colored frosting and holiday-inspired sprinkles. Lemon zest, fresh berries, and edible flowers are perfect for Easter desserts too!
- Ways to use leftovers: Extra lemon curd can be used as a delicious filling for Lemon Meringue Cupcakes or a tasty topping for Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles and ice cream. Leftover carrot cake is great for making these scrumptious Carrot Cake Truffles that you can enjoy throughout the season.
