Our Best Easter Appetizer Recipes
If you ask us, one of the best parts of Easter dinner is mingling with friends and family while snacking on appetizers. A glass of wine in one hand, a fancy little puff pastry bite in the other—is there any better way to pass the afternoon?
If you’re hosting and making appetizers sounds like a lot of work, we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be.
With make-ahead options like deviled eggs and dips and quick fixes like springtime salads and crostini, an impressive spread of pre-dinner bites is a breeze to accomplish. It just wouldn’t be Easter without at least one type of deviled egg so, regardless of what you choose to make, be sure to include this smoked salmon version from Ina.
She pulls out all the stops and tops each one with a few colorful pearls of salmon roe for a lovely presentation.
Pull-Apart Deviled Eggs
This whimsical take on the classic deviled egg is the perfect appetizer for your Easter feast. An orange-hued pimento cheese filling makes up the deviled egg carrot, while a zesty herb filling represents the greens on top.
Colorful Naturally Dyed Deviled Eggs
Looking for a colorful science experiment? Get the kids (and adults) into the kitchen and use real food to dye deviled eggs.
Potato Nests with Peas, Ham and Cream Cheese
This elegant appetizer comes together easily with simple, time-saving ingredients. Frozen hash browns are pressed into mini muffin tins and baked into crispy nests filled with ham, lemony cream cheese, and peas. Serve them at your Easter dinner or spring cocktail party.
