Easter Bites- Breakfast, Appetizer and Dessert Ideas

A compilation of Easter meal ideas if you're feeling stuck, or would like to change up your Easter menu. You'll find unique, springy, delicious ideas for breakfast, appetizers and desserts.

Easter Breakfast Ideas

Zeppole

The easiest donuts you'll ever make! Simply stir a few ingredients together and drop them into hot oil. These slightly sweet bites of fried dough are a traditional Italian pastry commonly eaten on Easter. You can enjoy them for breakfast or dessert!

Strawberry Shortcake

Start Easter off right with a special, springy breakfast! Homemade biscuits topped with freshly whipped cream and juicy strawberries- it's a delicious way to start the holiday. Here's my recipe.

Almond or Pistachio Croissants

These croissants look super fancy, but they're quite simple to make. The secret is to use store bought croissants, then make the filling yourself. They make for an amazing, impressive Easter breakfast.

Orange Rolls

A light, zesty, springy twist on cinnamon rolls, these are a great Easter option. Even better, you can prepare them the night before and bake in the morning. One less thing to do on Easter day! Get me orange roll recipe here.

Chocolate Milk

Make Easter breakfast extra special with a special drink, too! My chocolate milk recipe is as simple as it is delicious.

Easter Appetizers

Asparagus Tart

This is another simple recipe thanks to frozen puff pastry. Due to the bright green hue from cooked asparagus, it's also a great Easter appetizer. Get the recipe.

Bruschetta

This sweet balsalmic bruschetta is delicious. It is great paired with pizza, pasta, fish, or enjoyed on its own!

Empanadas

Empanadas are a classic Argentine dish. They're yummy little hand pies that can be filled with just about anything. While traditionally stuffed with savory fillings like cheese, onions, and meat, you can also fill them with fruit preserves and serve them as dessert. Find the recipe here.

Pretzels

Served with fun sauces (like marinara or nacho cheese), these are a super fun, special appetizer. Find my soft pretzel recipe here.

Pea Soup

This creamy, bright green soup screams Easter to me. Pea soup is a breeze to make and has plenty of protein. It pairs well with ham and makes a great appetizer or side.

French Onion Galette

This recipe turns a comforting soup into a delicious pastry. Complete with gooey cheese and a buttery crust, it's a delicious appetizer.

Easter Desserts

Rosemary Ice Cream

This ice cream flavour is unexpected and delicious. Homemade ice cream is a wonderful way to celebrate Easter. Bonus: rosemary honors Our Lady (rose - mary... get it?).

Arroz con Leche

This is my husband's favourite dessert. A sweet rice pudding, its a yummy, comforting dessert. You can also serve it warm for (an extra sweet) breakfast!

Coconut Nests

These festive cookies are a breeze to make and delicious. With candy eggs placed in the middle they look just like bird nests! You can find the recipe here.

Brownies

This blog post tells you all the secret hacks to make boxed brownies perfectly fudgy, crinkly and DELICIOUS!

Bailey's Ice Cream

This boozy Bailey's flavoured ice cream is delicious and indulgent. Get the recipe.

Rosemary Shortbread

Rosemary makes another appearance. These buttery rosemary shortbread cookies are delightful. They melt in your mouth. They're small and not too sweet, which makes them a great cookie to have around if you're hosting on Easter. Get the recipe.
