Easter Recipes - Main Dishes

Easter Glazed Ham
Even more traditional than donning bonnets on Easter Sunday is serving baked ham for the holiday dinner.

Mint-Rubbed Leg of Lamb
Though lamb is often paired with mint jelly, this roasted leg lets you leave the jelly jar in the pantry.

Brunch Seafood Strata
You can substitute crab-flavored fish pieces, flaked, for the shrimp and crab in this dish.

Roasting Meat
Roasting is a quick and easy way to create a delicious meal everyone will love. Give it a try.

Easter Recipes - Side Dishes

Asparagus Bouquet
Because roasting accents the sweetness of this spring stalk, you'll need only a hint of seasoning.

Easter Egg Potatoes
We give you a choice of baking temperatures so these stuffed baked potatoes are compatible with other foods in your oven.

Kitchen Garden Bouquets
We used garlic chive flowers to accent these salads-in-the-round. You may substitute other edible herb blossoms such as basil, mint, and dill.

Easter Recipes - Breads

Gardener's Treat Bread
Fresh chives, green onions, leeks, and parsley from your garden (or the grocer's shelves) add a touch of spring to the top of these loaves.

Bread Machine Rabbits
These tasty bunnies make a special treat any time of year.

Hot Cross Buns
The recipe for this yeast roll, with its distinctive sugar-icing cross, emigrated to America with the English. It is associated with Easter, in particular Good Friday.

Easter Recipes - Desserts

Fresh-as-a-Daisy Angel Food Cake
For a shortcut to this impressive dessert, start with a purchased angel food cake mix.

Easter Sugar Cookie Cutouts
If you wish, dress up these cookies by stirring 2 tablespoons small multicolored decorative candies into the dough with the remaining flour.

Snapper Cookies
These crisp little cookies are really quite playful. But don't worry, they won't snap at you.
