The deviled eggs

serve as a traditional Easter snack that may be eaten as a side dish. A delicious and visually beautiful delicacy is made by halving hard-boiled eggs and filling them with a rich mixture of yolk, mayonnaise, mustard, and spices. Garnish with peppers, chives, or crispy bacon to add flavour and crunch. The hot cross buns are a sweet dessert traditionally eaten on Good Friday or Easter. These spicy buns with dried fruit and a cross are typically served on toast with cream and jam. Use leftover hot cross buns to create bread pudding or French toast for a delightful Easter breakfast.

 Spring Salads

Because Easter is spring, use fresh seasonal ingredients in your salads. Your salad is a great idea. A refreshing choice is a colourful mixed green salad with strawberries, candied pecans, and a tangy vinaigrette. You can also make a potato salad with baby potatoes, fresh herbs and a creamy dressing for a satisfying side dish. 

Easter is a time for indulgence, so a sumptuous dessert is a requirement for Easter supper. A perennial favourite is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and toasted walnuts or coconut flakes on top. Bake a lemon tart with a buttery crust, acidic lemon filling, or a decadent chocolate mousse cake to complement your meal.
