Our Top 5 Easter Appetizers
Easy Deviled Eggs
This deviled eggs recipe has been one of my go-to Easter appetizers for years. Inspired by Jack’s mom’s famous deviled eggs, they’re creamy, tangy, and delicious. I make the hard boiled eggs a day ahead so that these are easy to assemble day-of.
Cottage Cheese Dip
This pale green dip is so festive for spring! Avocado and cottage cheese create its rich and creamy base. It’s a perfect last-minute Easter appetizer—it comes together in the food processor in under 10 minutes!
Ultimate Crudité Platter
A colorful crudité platter is a delicious way to add fresh spring veggies to your Easter menu! In addition to veggies, this one stars a creamy, lemony white bean dip, compound butter, and marinated feta. Make these components up to 2 days in advance so that they’re ready to pull out of the fridge when your guests arrive.
Puff Pastry Brie Bites
These one-bite Easter appetizers combine crisp, buttery puff pastry, sweet fig jam, and melty cheese. No wonder they’re always a party hit!
Whipped Feta Dip
L&L reader Cathey wrote, “I took this to an event and everyone loved it—not a bite left by the end of the evening!” It pairs perfectly with crackers and veggies like blanched snap peas, radishes, and fresh or pickled carrots.
More Easter Appetizer Ideas
Beet Hummus
Roasted beets add sweet, earthy flavor to this variation on classic hummus…and they turn it bright pink! A bowl of this dip is such a stunner on an Easter appetizer table.
Best Egg Salad
Use up any hard boiled eggs left over from your Easter egg hunt in this bright and briny egg salad! Stuffed into little finger sandwiches with tender lettuce or microgreens, it’s a perfect spring app.
Caprese Skewers
A classic Caprese salad in bite-size form! Tip: Instead of using all red tomatoes, mix in a few yellow ones to make these feel bright and spring-y.
Cold Cucumber Soup
This cool, creamy cucumber soup is one of my family’s favorite Easter appetizers. Filled with herbs like basil and dill, it’s such a refreshing start to the meal!
Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip
No cream cheese or sour cream here! A thick cashew cream steps in for the dairy in this plant-based spin on the party classic. Briny artichokes and fresh spinach make it a perfect appetizer for spring.
Roasted Artichokes
Baby artichokes start popping up at farmers markets and grocery stores at this time of year. If you’re lucky enough to snag some, make these cute roasted artichokes as an appetizer! They pair perfectly with this creamy, tangy artichoke dipping sauce.
Pickled Eggs
These beet pickled eggs are the grown up version of dyeing Easter eggs! An apple cider vinegar brine fills them with sweet and tangy flavor. Simply slice them in half for a fun Easter appetizer, or use the bright pink egg whites to make deviled eggs!
Green Goddess Dressing
You can toss any and every soft, leafy herb into this creamy, lemony, aromatic dip. Serve it with your favorite spring veggies for dipping!
Pickled Asparagus
If you ask me, no Easter menu is complete without asparagus, and these snappy pickled spears are such a fun way to serve it. Set them out on their own, as part of a cheese board, or with a creamy dip like my whipped feta or cottage cheese dip.
Whipped Ricotta
Top this rich and creamy dip with a drizzle of honey, lemon zest, and thyme for an unexpected appetizer for Easter! It’s fantastic with crostini or focaccia for dipping.
