Here are 50 of my favorite Easter recipes—an edited collection of appetizers, brunch and dinner ideas, plus cocktails and desserts to complete your holiday menu.
It’s the perfect time to plan a memorable Easter spread.

I’ll be sharing more Easter recipes in the coming weeks, but this roundup will help you get started with a diverse menu that doesn’t rely on ham—because I’m not the biggest fan of it. Over the years I’ve assembled lots of dishes I actually crave for Easter, from brunch classics to show-stopping dinners and irresistible desserts.
P.S. If you want a fun activity, try dyeing eggs with cool whip for a tie-dye unicorn effect.
Are you an Easter brunch person, a dinner person, or both? I’m both—plus I never say no to chocolate peanut butter eggs.
