I have compiled this list of My Favorite Easter Recipes, as an Orthodox Christian, we celebrate Pascha the most joyful and meaningful feast of the year with traditions. One of the highlights of our table is lamb, a beautiful and symbolic dish that brings everyone together after a long Lenten season. There’s something so special about gathering around a table filled with dishes that have been passed down, shared, and loved for generations.

To help you celebrate Easter or Pascha in your own home, I’ve put together a collection of my favorite recipes—from cozy breakfasts and festive treats to hearty dinners, fresh sides, and everything in between.

Whether you’re planning a big family gathering or a simple, meaningful meal, these recipes are designed to be approachable, delicious, and full of that comforting, celebratory spirit that makes this season so special.

Treats

We always start off our Easter morning with treats on the table and some in my kid’s Easter Baskets, enjoy these family favorites.

Easter Nest Cookies

Delicious crunchy chocolate cookies shaped like nests and topped with Cadbury Mini Eggs for an adorable delicious Easter treat!

Cupcakes with vibrant green frosting are adorned with marshmallow bunnies, reminiscent of Peeps, and pastel candy eggs. Pink paper shreds add a festive touch to the scene, while additional cupcakes linger in the background.

Peeps Cupcakes

I love these Peeps Cupcakes so much because they are so fun and adorable to decorate – just pipe a bit of icing on top to be “grass”, then add a peep and lots of Cadbury mini eggs!
