The Easter is around the corner and so is the time for the whole family to come together. While kids enjoy the most, the homemakers stress themselves with how to plan an ideal Easter dinner party, which takes care of everyone’s taste and preferences and are little creative too. So here are a few Easter Dinner Ideas to help you relieve some stress and enjoy the moment with your family.

 

Appetizers

Easter dinner ideas can include anything from a devilled egg, a roasted leg of lamb, a traditional ham or a Easter Bunny cookie cake. It is better to start the dinner with mouth-watering appetizers like devilled eggs, creamy Bagna Cauda, carrot soup, corn can, black-eyed peas salad, or asparagus pasta salad and spring greens salad. Your guests may also enjoy assorted rolls, dilled peas and potato vinaigrette. Easter appetizers taste best when paired with peach iced tea with a sweet and tangy flavor.

Creamy Bagna Cauda

Bagna Cauda is an Italian side dish that is mostly prepared with seafood. Serve this great Easter dinner idea with your favorite veggies and chunks of crusty bread.

Scalloped Potatoes with Cheese

The staple Chinese cuisine, Scalloped Potatoes With Cheese recipe, is simply difficult to resist. It can be served as a side dish or as an appetizer in an Easter celebration.

Main Course

The guests always enjoy anything different from the usual. Instead of serving traditional ham, try ham with Jack Daniels or honey baked ham. Be very particular about selecting lamb dish. A spice leg of ham with orange mint sauce is a great Easter dinner idea.

Roasted Leg of Lamb

Serve roasted leg of lamb with mint jelly or mint sauce to reduce its oily nature. A perfectly roasted leg becomes rich, juicy and a delicious piece of meat and could be a perfect start to Easter dinner. Light wine is preferred with this rich course.

Apricot Orange Pork Roast

Apricot orange pork roast is one such Easter dinner idea that is too delicious to be missed out when you have plenty of pork, orange and apricot on hand. The pork is roasted and moistened with orange marmalade and apricot preserves with an additional flavor of rosemary leaves, black pepper powder and red pepper flakes. Serve it with champagne Limoncello cocktails.

Easter ham

Ham

No Easter dinner meal is complete without Ham in its main menu. Pair it with Gewürztraminer and Riesling wines, which are considered Ham’s true companions. Red wine lovers should serve Zinfandel for the perfect match. You can also grill the whole ham, believe it your guests will love it.

Serve Easter desserts to end your dinner on a delicious note. Include some traditional recipes like Easter nests, fruit salads, peach cobbler, frozen cherry Easter egg, Easter Bunny cookie cake or an Easter pie and make the Easter refreshing and delicious for everyone. Happy Easter and happy eating!
