🥕 How to Build a Traditional Easter Dinner

A classic Easter dinner is all about balance. For the menu, choose something savory, something fresh, and something a little indulgent.

Most traditional Easter menus include:

  • Main dish: Ham is the most popular, but roast beef, lamb, or salmon are great options
  • Potato side: Cheesy potatoes, mashed potatoes, or scalloped potatoes
  • Vegetable: Asparagus, green beans, or peas
  • Salad: Something fresh and light to balance the meal
  • Bread: Rolls or a festive Easter bread
  • Dessert: A spring-inspired cake or pie

You can mix and match based on what your family loves or scroll through the ideas below to build your perfect menu.

🕒 Planning Tips for a Stress-Free Easter Dinner

After hosting many Easter meals, here are a few simple tips that make a big difference:

  • Choose one main dish and 3-4 sides to keep things manageable. Ask guests to bring a side or dessert.
  • Prep what you can ahead of time (desserts, salads, deviled eggs).
  • Use your slow cooker for ham to free up oven space.
  • Balance your menu with fresh and rich dishes.
  • Don’t try something new for everything. Stick with a few tried-and-true favorites and add a new recipe or two if you’re feeling adventurous.

Easter Main Dish Recipes

According to marthastewart.com, ham became the meat of choice for Easter dinner because it was more readily available than lamb. However, if ham isn’t your main dish of choice, a roast lamb, pork roast, roast beef, or fish can be served for your Easter feast.

Sample Easter Dinner Menu

Here is a sample menu plan for an easy traditional Easter dinner. Slow Cooker Ham, Cheesy Potato Casserole, Sautéed Sweet Asparagus, and a Chessman Banana Pudding for dessert. This is a basic, simple Easter dinner. Add in appetizers, salads, rolls, and additional side dishes from our ideas above, or invite guests to contribute. Follow our preparation and timing guidelines for an stress-free Easter Sunday that you can enjoy cooking and eating with your family and friends.

Click on the images below for the full recipe of each dish and follow preparation timing for a relaxing and enjoyable Easter meal.

Preparation and Timing

  1. Day before: Prepare the banana pudding and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Three hours before dinner time: Prepare the ham to cook in the slow cooker. This will take about 10 minutes. The ham will slow cook on low for about 2 1/2- 3 hours and your house will smell amazing.
  3. One and a half hours before dinner time: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Make the cheesy potato casserole. Prep time will be approximately 15 minutes and cook time will be one hour.
  4. Prepare the asparagus: While the casserole is cooking, rinse and cut the asparagus, set the table, and make any other final preparations for the meal. The asparagus is best when it is hot and fresh out of the skillet, so prepare it about 10 minutes before you are ready to sit down and eat.

Happy Easter!

    I love these cheesy potatoes!! They are sooo delicious warm or cold! I fix them for almost all family gatherings they are always a family favorite! I also make the deviled eggs and hope that there are enough on the plate for others to enjoy! I am not the only one who likes to “taste “ them before hand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Linda

  2. Ham is always a favorite! I love this crockpot recipe because it keeps the ham moist, has a nice flavor from the sauce on the outside and of course it is prepared while you are at church!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Linda

  3. 5 stars
    We as everyone else had the t radio nap ham. We definitely had potatoes we had potatoes every nie. Of course we had several vegetables like green beans, broccoli, and corn. The dessert had to be pie for my dad, but the real star was the bunny cake. My mom had a mold for the bunny and it was all decked out in white icing and covered in coconut. The best part of dinner was having all of us together. My four brothers and one sister, my grandmother/( who I miss every day for the past53 years), and sometimes Sister Christina my cousin and Monsigner? Herman Brieght. Now we each have our own traditions but I do miss the family get togethers. Hope your Easter holiday holds A lot of good memories.

    I love banana pudding and I adore the King Chessmen cookies. I lived in Greece for many years and it would not be Easter without sweet cheese pies, lamb, goat, and a sweet braided bread with a red egg in the middle as a decoration. Easter is the best time of the year in Greece and I don’t think there is a Greek food I don’t like. I try, since moving back to the states, to always have a few Greek dishes at Easter such as an egg lemon soup and fried sweet cheese pies.

  5. 5 stars
    I want to try all your recipes! Each looks like a winner 100%. Being disabled, I will pick at least 2 to add to my husband’s menu.
    Growing up, our Great Aunt had at least 7 or more families over after church. Mother’s always contributed, but what a feast she had! A huge table and non stop food passing of everything. I was a big girl when I got to sit at the big table.
    I have 2 crock pots. So I’m going to try the slow cooker ham with glaze and the potatoes au gratin. Winners for sure.
    Wishing all a Blessed Easter.

    My family Easter celebrations have been hit and miss throughout my life so I can really say I have am absolute favorite, but I do like spiral ham and I must be pretty original because I’ve only thought of wrapping it with tin foil and heating it in the over, lol.

    My favorite is the Honey Baked Ham in the Crock pot, the 4 layer banana pudding is the BEST as is all your reciepes. I love the homemade bread and of course the kids and babies enjoy making the cookies and Easter treats. Thank you for sharing all your homemade receipes for me to share with my children and as they grow up, they will share them with their children. Happy Easter & May God Bless You All.

    My favorite Easter Dinner changes from year to year. Rarely is it traditional.

    Sometimes it’s a Mexican meal, including homemade tamales! Some years it’s fun appetizers – mostly new recipes…thanks for the new recipes for appetizers! Some years it’s a barbecue!!

    Every year I include my Mom’s deviled eggs!!

    Having fun is the theme for the day!

    My typical Easter dinner is ham, funeral potatoes, green bean casserole, fresh baked dinner roles, broccoli, and for dessert, apple pie and chocolate pie. However, dropping green beans for asparagus sounds like a nice suttle change.

    I have always had the traditional Easter dinner of ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans, ham gravy, glazed carrots, rolls and usually two desserts. I make lemon meringue pie or coconut cream pie and green salad which is an old recipe using lime jello, whipping cream, pineapple and cream cheese. Maybe this year I will make the cheesy potatoes instead as they look tasty!

    We traditionally like a half ham in the crock pot with mashed red potatoes and gravy. Corn on the cob is grilled stripped and smothered in butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Homemade rolls can either be dipped in gravy or gobbed with blueberry jam. A traditional green salad dressed up with bacon bits, parm and croutons is on the side. Dessert is Gammy’s homemade apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and don’t forget sparkling cider. Cheers!!

    The recipe sounds great. . I love ham for Easter & you have to have deviled eggs. We used to eat the eggs we colored & hid until learned that was not such a good idea. But we still hid them for the kids & do a big Easter egg hunt at church for the kids as well.

    So many recipe ideas. I like the sautéed asparagus. Then chessman cookies with bananas. The crock
    Pot pork chops sounded so different and I think it would be moist and tender

  57. 5 stars
    Ham is usually what we’ve done in the past but this year I might try rainbow trout ( I prefer over salmon). But scalloped potatoes are always a must however I may try crock pot au gratin this year.

  58. 5 stars
    My favorite Easter tradition is dying and hiding eggs for the kids and or dogs since the kids are grown. We now eat the dyed eggs and put out plastic eggs with treats inside for the dogs to find. Of course after they find them, we open them and get the treats out for them. Traditionally we cook ham, mashed or scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, and homemade rolls with whipped butter and cream cheese.

    Traditionally I make a ham for Easter dinner, this year I am going to do a beef roast with mushroom gravy, roasted red potatoes, asparagus and a salad (not sure yet what kind).

The peas and baby potatoes make it look Spring fresh. Dessert is a toss up between a lemon Bundt or the coconut cake. Thank you for all the scrumptious recipes to make this years Easter celebration a hit.

    I love spiral ham at Easter and I would try the recipe on this site because the ingredients are things I already have in my pantry. Easter ham, scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, ambrosia salad, pickled eggs (because we always have an abundance of boiled eggs that have been dyed thanks to the grandkids), coconut cream pie, lemonade and iced tea and at everyone’s place setting – there’s a chocolate bunny. Daffodils and tulips on the table complete the picture. I love Easter!

  76. 5 stars
    I loved the brown sugar ham in the crockpot recipe! But our favorite Easter tradition is having Goldenrod eggs over sausage or ham topped biscuits with a side of roasted asparagus. That would be a bechamel with chopped hard cooked egg whites spooned over the sausage ir ham topped biscuits, then sprinkled with the hard cooked egg yolks that have Bern pressed through a sieve (the “goldenrod” part) and topped with paprika (or cayenne flakes for those who want some heat).

Everyone looks forward to eating candy throughout the day.

    In our family our staple base menu has always been Pineapple Ham with mashed potatoes and steamed brocoli… the rest of the menu depends on who’s coming and what they’ll bring.
    I usually have smoked salmon as an entree, deviled eggs is a must as well, some homemade rolls, a spinach salad to accompany the main meal, and whatever scrumptious chocolate dessert I can come up with. 😉 We rarely go hungry.

    Our favorite Easter dinner is Heavenly Ham from a locally owned grocer, sweet potatoes, grill asparagus, roasted green beans, deviled eggs, last summer’s peaches that were frozen and of course, pies, pies and more pies. (my family loves pie). I’ll make key lime pie, chocolate peanut butter pie, a cheesecake pie and fudge pie. If time allows, we’ll whip up some homemade vanilla ice cream.
    The best part is all the family together, the Easter egg hunt in the morning and the grandkids counting the nickel and dimes that were in the plastic eggs.

    Easter Dinner: Well, my Dad would bring home a ham butt and do the cooking normally. He would push Allspice in (I did Not like them) he put it in a Roasting Pan with about 1/2” of a concoction he got from Northern Maine and tent it. He and my Mother would make Scalloped Potatoes, Asparagus and Creamed Onions. There were No Spiral Cut Hans in those days, 65+ years ago! Dad would baste it every 30-45 minutes or so. In the meantime he prepared an Orange Glaze similar to Marmalade that would go on for the final hour. We’d all have some on our plates to spread on the Ham after Dad served it. He would spend 10+ minutes carving it up. Before we had any Ham we would have a simple appetizer of Deviled Eggs and Pickled Herring, a Swedish tradition.

  101. 5 stars

    We host Easter brunch at our home. Because we are in Florida, we have the wonderful opportunity to set up tables outdoors on our covered deck. I always make Eggs A’la Goldenrod as everyone looks forward to and love this dish. I also serve a French toast casserole, scrambled eggs, a few bagels and rolls, our traditional Italian Ricotta Pie and a chocolate no-flour cake, bacon, sausage and ham. Because we have vegetarians, meat eaters, vegan and gluten free guests, it gets busy for me in the kitchen. The shortcut of being able to cook the ham in a crock-pot is very helpful. The key-lime pie may be a nice addition to the pastry table. Thank you.

  104. 5 stars
    I love this stuff for Easter. I usually make a spiral ham, mashed potatoes and sweet corn. Sometimes I make home made rolls (it depends if I’m up to it or not).

    The ham is delicious! I like having a menu for a complete meal. Really helpful for busy cooks. My own favorites for Easter dinner always include ham, potato salad, and fresh asparagus.

    HAPPY EASTER and thank you for the recipes.

    It used to be a big ham dinner with all the fixings. Now I’m alone, husband passed, kids are far away. So it’s a bone in ham slice, my grandmother’s baked corn, sautéed asparagus, mashed potatoes and gravy. Dessert this year will be banana bread cupcakes. Plenty left for the next day.

    MY favorite Easter dinner is all about the bread and sides! Cheesy potato casserole, homemade rolls, or easter bread looks fantastic, and spring vegetables, like asparagus!! AS time goes on, I am less a fan of ham. (That should be a song, “less a fan of ham.” ) I would replace it with some yummy chicken with an amazing honey garlic sauce! THAT would be a fantastic and favorite Easter dinner! Oh and that fabulous Mandarin Orange cake!

    Delicious is what I remember our Easter dinner being when I was growing up with 6 younger siblings. Everyone had to enjoy and everyone got to participate in making it. It was usually a ham with garlic mashed potatoes and peas for the main meal. We did have a salad and then for the treat afterwards was sometimes a vanilla frosted lamb cake with ice cream.

  134. 5 stars
    I absolutely love creamed peas! The whole menu sounds delicious, but give me all of those creamed peas!

    Can’t wait to make this on Saturday for an early Easter family dinner and the weekend after for my husband’s side when they are at our home.

    My favorite things that I make and gets requested is a macaroni, corn and cheese recipe. One year I didn’t make it and the family gave me so much business about not making it. They make me make it for every holiday gathering. That and the bunny cake that you have posted. Two of my aunts have their names on each ear to take home with them.

    Love the recipes!
    Looks like a Southern Easter dinner!
    I grew up with a baked ham and red eye gravy, deviled eggs, potato salad, homemade yeast rolls and asparagus, sometimes macaroni and cheese instead of potato salad.

    Growing up in Hawaii in the 60’s we ate Spam and rice for Easter. If we were lucky, we’d get Kalua Pork and coleslaw.

    Today we eat ham and I’ve found a really good Kalua Pork slow cooker recipe I can use here in Seattle.

    I love a traditional Easter Dinner and the food show for your Traditional Easter Dinner is the exact same as we I have done for years. You can’t go wrong with any of those foods. We have made it quite a tradition in our family and no reason to change it as everyone loves it!

      Easter dinner has to be roast lamb. All my family sit together and enjoy each others company, and especially the food. Pudding might be a key lime pie, or something similar.

    Our traditional Easter dinner is turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberries, creamed corn casserole, pickles, jello salad, and carrots. Our tradition is to do this meal on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yes, same meal for all occasions. The only item that changes is the dessert. Usually pie though.

  145. 5 stars
    All of these recipes are great! I have tried most of them already but have seen some tweaks I can use.

    For years and years ham for Easter has been our family tradition. I loved it as a child when my mother prepared it, I shared it with my beloved husband when we were married and now tradition has been passed on to our son and daughter. Cannot go wrong with ham, potatoes, 1 – 2 veggie casseroles and warm, buttered rolls!

  150. 5 stars
    Glazed spiral ham, scalloped potatoes, oven-roasted asparagus, buttermilk dinner rolls, and layered carrot cake for dessert! 🙂 Happy Easter, everyone!

    Crockpot Ham, baked beans. And corn pudding are my go to Easter Dishes. The Cheesy Potatoes will make a great addition.

  152. 5 stars
    Love these ideas! To me the perfect meal for Easter is honey baked ham with green beans & mashed potatoes with dutch apple pie for dessert!

  153. 5 stars
    Easter Dinner includes honey-glazed ham, rosemary-infused lamb chops, smashed redskins, cheesy hash brown casserole, homemade Mac n cheese, sweet potato casserole, asparagus with hollandaise, pickled eggs, deviled eggs, roasted Brussel sprouts, rolls and we love the chessman banana cream pie! Of course, there are more delicious desserts, but the chessman banana cream pie is permanently gone.

  154. 5 stars
    Easter sweet bread is a must at Easter. Other favourites are ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and a pistachio lush. I also make homemade dinner rolls. Lemon meringue pie always finishes off our dinner.

  155. 5 stars
    All looks good! Our tradition is also ham, candied sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, etc. but this year my hubby has requested a garlic herb flavored pork loin from Smithfield and butternut squash. Still have to make the deviled eggs, though!! I’ll try your recipe for this year’s dessert since we don’t have a traditional Easter dessert.

    I love all the recipes posted but if I had to pick one it would be the glazed ham and cheese potatoes. Ham always seemed traditional at Easter at my moms house and it brings back warm memories with the family around the table. I really like the Easter Bread. It adds colour and it is special for the little ones.

  160. 5 stars
    The cheesy potato casserole! So good!!! Didn’t change anything and wouldn’t change anything. My daughter makes a version with fresh diced potatoes and I like this recipe better, by far! The cubed potatoes give too much potato. This recipe is a much better blend.

  161. 5 stars
    Just wanted to let you know I tried the Coconut Cream Pie recipe from last week. It took time to make but everyone raved and I don’t think I’ve had better.

    These recipes for the Easter dinner menu are the best for the perfect Easter dinner. It brings back memories from the past of the family Easter festivities when my parents were still alive, and everyone gathered for this annual meal. It’s a tradition worth continuing. The spiral ham and cheesy potato casserole are my favorites.

    The slow cooker ham with brown sugar and maple….the cheesy potato casserole are my pick. At 84 years of age, quick and easy are the only way to go. Thanks so much for the recipes.

  168. 5 stars
    Our family loves these Easter recipes, especially the Strawberry Pretzel Salad! An added bonus in this post is the idea list for leftover ham, which we tend to have. One favorite of ours is the Ham Fried Rice. It’s quick and easy, filling, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with Asian-themed meals. It also feeds an army. Win win!

  169. 5 stars
    I have to say the spiral ham would be my favorite. Although I think you have some, actually, the most, of the best recipes around! Just saying!! Maybe with some half baked potatoes and asparagus then coconut crème pie for desert and the bunny cake for the kids! Happy Easter

    Thank you for showing so many wonderful recipes that helped me plan my Easter dinner.
    I will be making the Slow Cooker Ham with Maple and Brown Sugar. When I made this before it was a hit and left my oven free for other things. One thing that I will add that is not on your list is my sister’s recipe for a wonderful mustard sauce that is to die for and that will be served on the side. To that I will add the Perfect Mashed Potatoes, the Sweet Sauteed Asparagus, and Homemade Dinner Rolls. For dessert, it will be everyone’s favourite, Coconut Cream Pie. Yum

  174. 5 stars
    I’m a huge fan of the ham, cheesey potatoes. Asparagus and deviled eggs. So yummy.
    I’m also in love with the Panoramic Sugar Easter Eggs. I have made 26 of them in the last two weeks. Some with my Grandkids and some with my Primary Activity Day Girls. Everyone has so much fun making them.

  175. 5 stars
    Bunny cake is always a hit with the grandchildren and they love helping make it and adding the decorative details!

    Funeral potatoes are also a 5 star item. Easy to prepare and they feed a crowd!

  176. 5 stars
    I think I will go with the traditional Easter dinner as shown this year. I love how you show the whole dinner for us so we don’t have to put more thought into it. The banana pudding and cheesy potato casserole are favorites here. I’ve never tried the ham in the crockpot, so that will be new, along with sweet asparagus. I may also make our favorite honey butter carrots. I would love to try the beautiful Easter bread with the colored eggs and the cute bunny cake; but I have to be realistic about how much I can actually do without exhausting myself before everyone gets here! 😂

    Love the crock pot brown sugar ham. We look forward to it each Easter the rest is just over the top! Rolls fill the house with an amazing aroma along with the ham. The asparagus is a must for my girls. I’ve always roasted it, but I’m going to try the sweet recipe this time.

    I’m anxious to try the Slow Cooker Spiral Ham with maple syrup, brown sugar and pineapple juice. The flavors and tenderness of the ham cooked in a slow cooker will be perfect. Funeral potatoes are a favorite as well. Its so true, here in Utah, they are a staple at funerals and I never get tired of them.

    1. Thank you, Marti! I hope you enjoy the ham. It is delicious! I never get tired of funeral potatoes either. They are just so good. 🙂

    All of them look delicious, but for Easter, I would have to say the honey baked ham, with Mash Potatoes and Vegetables. For dessert, my family and I would have the Lemon Bundt Cake. I would give it 5 Stars.

    Slow-cooked spiral ham. We always have ham at Easter with cheesy potatoes, salad, homemade rolls, and a bunny cake made by the kids or grandchildren. That’s how it has been and continues to be done in our home. Good times and fun with an Easter egg hunt.

    The spiral slow cooker ham recipe. I love the idea of cooking in a slow cooker especially for a spiral because they can dry out in the oven. Love the ingredients.

    Easter dinner is really the only holiday where tables are filled with colorful, succulent dishes and rich, indulgent desserts. It’s an amazing feast for all the senses and the delight of the eyes and taste buds. One of the best traditional dishes that fits this roomba e6 description perfectly is ham glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce. This mouth-watering dish is then baked to perfection and coupled with a variety of delectable sides and fresh fruit salad. Vegetables and side dishes like roasted asparagus and sautéed spinach can also go on the table, as well as your favorite rolls and assorted dessert.

    1. The pudding is mixed with the whipped cream mixture and added in the middle layer.

      1. Absolutely – Crock Pot is a brand of slow cooker, so they are basically the same thing. Thanks for asking!

    If you already have thick slices of ham, would it work to put the ham slices in the crockpot or will the ham “curdle?”
    And would you still cook it on low?
    Thank you! 🙂
