Not Sure What to Cook? Here’s My Easter Menu Roundup

April 14, 2022

Easter is just around the corner! If you’re still searching for the perfect menu to feed your family I’ve decided to put together my Easter Menu Roundup.

When I think of Easter, I’m brought back to the days when I was younger. My sister and I would get up early and go searching through the house for our Easter baskets. I loved the excitement of the search. My mom was always giving us hints: you’re getting warmer, warmer, oh now your cold, ok you’re on fire! 

The day always seemed bright and filled with color. Or maybe that’s me just remembering my white easter basket stuffed with the bright green confetti and filled with colorful easter eggs. Regardless, it makes me feel light and happy.

When we were younger we’d always go to my Grandma’s house for Easter Sunday brunch. We would have smoked kielbasa, fresh kielbasa, sauerkraut, ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, that weird jello pudding stuff (hard pass) and all the jelly beans that a kid could ever want. How I miss those polish feasts and my Grandma! 

This year, since we’re living in Switzerland, my menu is going to be looking a little different. We won’t be attending my husband’s family brunch and I won’t be indulging in all the Rose. Ok, well that last part could be a lie. There’s always going to be Rose for Easter. 

Here’s my Easter Menu Roundup that I’ve put together for our celebration this year. I hope you enjoy it!

Easter Menu Roundup - Happy Easter

Easter Appetizers

Deviled Eggs – Live Well Bake Often 

I feel this is a staple for all Easter gatherings. 

Strawberry Basil Bruschetta – Live Balanced with Al 

Maybe I’m biased since it’s my recipe, but would be perfect to have for everyone to enjoy once they arrive at your house. 

Everything Bagel Cucumber Bites – All Day I Dream About Food 

Keeping with the light and bright theme. These are perfect one bite appetizers that won’t fill your guests up too much before the big meal.

Main Course

Green Bean Almondine Recipe – Veronika’s Kitchen 

Green beans are a must for gatherings. Easy to make for a crowd. While I love the traditional green bean casserole, I feel this is a lighter take on the dish and a better way to enjoy your veggies. 

Best Pineapple Stuffing Recipe 

If you’ve never had this you’re missing out. It’s so simple to make and it’s basically like a dessert but your side dish. You can thank me later.  

THE BEST Au Gratin Potatoes | foodiecrush .com 

What can be better than a creamy cheesy potato dish. This is perfect to make for a group because you can have it prepped ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when your guests arrive. 

Baked Salmon with Garlic and Dijon (VIDEO) – NatashasKitchen.com

While this isn’t ham it’s still a great option to serve for Easter! One, I can’t find ham at the stores here. Two, I’m trying to eat less meat. Three, I just really love salmon and it’s pink. This is my go to recipe that I’ve been making for years. 

Easter Dessert

Ina Garten’s Lemon Bars | The Best Lemon Dessert 

Another recipe to keep with my light and fresh menu. I’m typically a chocolate girl, but these will win me over every time!

Carrot Cake Bars – Gimme Some Oven 

I feel this is just another staple you have to have for Easter.

Well there you have it! I hope you enjoy one or all of these yummy recipes for your Easter Sunday gathering. Cheers to you virtually from Zurich with my Rose in hand.
