We Have Easter Menu Ideas!


Spring is Springing!

Easter is such a happy beautiful occasion right at the beginning of Spring that is full of color and new life. In Christian faith the celebration is meaningful, as it celebrates Jesus rising from the dead. However we feel that has widely become a day full of family and friends that properly ushers in the new season. Easter has become a day for everyone to enjoy family and celebrate the new fresh air upon us and welcome what is to come.

There is no right and wrong when it comes to this holiday. Everyone has their own traditions, and own schedule. We have heard of people celebrating in the morning, at dinner and all day in between. We have created a roundup of our ideal Easter menus depending on when and who you are hosting.

In this newsletter we are featuring our Brunch and Lunch Menus (you can find our Breakfast and Dinner Menus on our blog). Remember we always encourage you to mix and match different items from each menu. Do what suits you! We just think there are a few must-haves for Easter: something with eggs, something fresh and definitely a dessert- preferably our Tarta de Santiago (see below) for something traditional and delicious.

Easter Brunch Menu:

One of the best things about this brunch menu is how simple and varied it is. You can check things off your prep list in the days before Easter for a smooth brunch. This is a great menu if you are cooking just for your family or if you are hosting a larger group. The ham and pan de jamon can be made in advance while dishes like the zoodle salad and deviled eggs can be assembled but not dressed and garnished until the day you will serve anything. We love assembling the French toast casserole the night before so the custard can soak into the bread and then baking it off that morning so the house smells like a sweet bakery all afternoon.

Easter Lunch Menu:

Lunch is the perfect way to host your big family or a large group of friends. A few appetizers like our cheese dip and zucchini fritters will be the best way to start off and wait for the paella to be ready. Accompany the paella with our tostones and summer salad or any other vegetable and you have a perfect main course. The Tartara de Santiago’s sweet almond is the perfect traditional finish.
