75 Best Easter Recipes for an All-Day Sunday Feast
It's all here: Ree's glazed ham, sides, appetizers, and even dessert.
Easter is a time to break out your best spring recipes whether it's those beloved family dishes or something totally brand new. Sitting down to a Sunday feast is one of the best Easter traditions around so we've rounded up a comprehensive list of Easter recipes for the occasion. Of course, it wouldn't be Easter without the classics like ham recipes, deviled eggs, and scalloped potatoes (they're a Drummond family favorite). But if you want to try something new, we have lots of ideas! In fact, we have recipes for both your Easter brunch and Easter dinner. Plus, a few new Easter treats that are worth a try—the homemade peanut butter eggs are sure to be a hit!
Pick and choose from these Easter recipes to create a feast your family will love. Just be sure to include some seasonal dishes to the mix. (Candied carrots are a must!) If you want to save time and effort, try a make-ahead casserole recipe, like the Easter breakfast casserole, or a no-bake Easter dessert, like Rice Krispie Treats in the shape of eggs! You'll also find lots of easy Easter appetizers, family-friendly Easter drinks, and Easter sides. Plus, we sprinkled in a few Easter desserts like the pretty rhubarb cake recipe, that even the Easter Bunny will want to try. So what are you waiting for? Let's starting planning your Sunday menu.
