10 Menus to Make On Easter Weekend Since We Can’t Gather with Family and Friends.

Easter is almost here and all I can think about is how different it’s going to be. So I’m determined to make it delicious! Hello 2020 Easter menu!

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t majorly disappointed to miss out on the holiday with our extended and even immediate families. Many of you have asked what to make on Easter Sunday, especially now that you’re no longer gathering with a group.

I still plan on making something special, so I’ve included a few menus down below for inspiration. A few full day menus and some brunch and dinner options. I’m thinking we will go the brunch route here in our house!

Oh and P.S. if you’re wondering why there is no ham here – it’s because I just don’t love ham! I make it up for it with my love of pork and bacon though, right?

FULL DAY EASTER MENU

I live for these cinnamon rolls! They make the entire day. You can prep them the night before and bake in the morning! Use up your dyed eggs for the salad.

Carrot cake cinnamon rolls

Egg salad sandwiches

Lemon roast chicken + asparagus potato salad 

This breakfast and lunch can be interchangeable! Finish things off with my mom’s chicken marsala.

Everything smoked salmon puff pastry tart

Shaved egg avocado toast 

Chicken marsala with almond green beans 

Veggies for breakfast, creamy artichoke soup for lunch and some incredible salmon and potatoes for dinner!

Asparagus croque madame

EASTER BRUNCH MENU

These sliders here are so fun and delish. They just make the entire meal. Maybe make some extra vanilla bacon?

I love a good quiche! Don’t stress about exact ingredients – you can use up with you have. Serve with the best asparagus ever!

Burst tomato prosciutto quiche

A slightly lighter-in-size menu here. The spring nicoise salad is huge and can be served/eaten in multiple ways! I like to make the naan with it too. 

Frozen mimosas

EASTER DINNER MENUS

This meal is pure comfort food. Do a pan of lasagna or the rollups, some salad, broccoli and maybe even garlic bread. 

Lasagna bolognese or French onion chicken lasagna rollups

House salad 

Parmesan roasted broccoli 

This is a fun meal to make – more of a project. It doesn’t really NEED a side dish, but the carrots are delicious. You could also throw some bread on the side. 

Homemade ricotta gnocchi with asparagus pesto 

Bacon roasted carrots

This is a big meal – the potatoes can be prepped the day before or the morning of, just reheat before serving. The chicken is wonderful for leftovers. Use only what you have/love in the cobb!

Spring cobb salad

Whole roasted chicken

Asiago scalloped potatoes 

These shrimp rolls remind me so much of summer that I had to add them to the list. The clam sauce pizza is also incredible – you can use canned clams of course. Serve with one of my favorite kale salads!

Parmesan pistachio kale salad

Pretty sure it’s fair to say every day should end with peeps skillet s’mores!
