Whether youโ€™re hosting a big gathering or keeping it cozy, celebrate Easter in style with over 50 handpicked recipes perfect for springtime entertaining. All curated from beloved past favorites and timeless crowd-pleasers, these beloved favorites span brunch, dinner, dessert, and more.

Itโ€™s trueโ€”the fall season and the months leading up to Christmas are my absolute favorite time of year. But honestly, I love all the seasons and everything they have to offer. So much so, I donโ€™t think I could ever live somewhere without seasonal changes. Thereโ€™s something so inspiring about the shift each season brings.

Now that spring is here, and with Easter Sunday just over a week away, Iโ€™m excited to share all of my best-ever Easter recipes from years past. Unlike winter holiday recipes, my Easter dishes tend to lean more toward the lighter, brighter sideโ€”think colorful brunches, fresh spring salads, simple (yet elegant) dinners, and of course, sweet Easter-inspired desserts ranging from chocolate favorites to lemony delights!

Springy recipes can be so funโ€”and so delicious. When Iโ€™m planning my menu for the spring holidays, I always think back to the dishes my Nonnie would serve.

She was such a pro at entertaining, always hosting with ease, grace, and the most thoughtful little touches. I loved helping her prep for parties. She always made things feel special, from seasonal flowers to personalized place settings. One of her best secrets? Sheโ€™d set the table the night before every dinner. That way, she had time to make it beautifulโ€”without stress.

And of course, she knew how to put together a delicious menu that was simple and effortless to prepare.

Taking a cue from her, Iโ€™m sharing recipes below that are easy to make and totally delicious. Many of these can be prepped ahead or left to slow cook while guests arrive. The key to a great gathering is a relaxed hostโ€”so be kind to yourself! Delegate where you can, choose a menu thatโ€™s not too complicated, and let these recipes help make entertaining joyful and stress-free.

Enjoy and happy Easter!!

  1. Hi Tieghan,

    Iโ€™ve been scouring the internet for the white dish in which you baked those delicious cinnamon rolls, but I have failed. Will you please tell me where I can find it? Itโ€™s perfect for the baking the rolls. Thank you so much

    1. Hi Dena,
      Thanks so much! Unfortunately, I no longer have a link for that baking dish, but it was from Anthropologie. I bet they have some other cute ones!
      Please let me know if you have any other questions! xx

  2. Thank you so much! I am feeding multiple family members coming into town next week and your recipes are the perfect answer. I will definitely be making the Garlic Creamed Spinach and Salmon and one of the Chicken/Orzo dishes (just have to decide which), and still have to pick out a dessert, and sides. Just know that all your hard work is so appreciated. Happy Easter!!

    1. Thanks so much for your kind message, Connie:) I hope your family enjoys all of the recipes that you choose to make! Happy Easter!

    1. Hi Elizabeth,
      That recipe is located in the HBH Quick and Cozy Cookbook. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Friday!

  3. I know this is a roundup of dishes you already have, but Easter is traditionally ham or lamb for people. It would be nice to see some recipes with those proteins. To each their own, but curry salmon is not the type of meal my family is looking for during Easter brunch. I know not everyone will agree, but that is the sort recipe Iโ€™d be looking for in an Easter resource.
