Easter is one of the best holidays to cook for. You get to enjoy a meal with your family and friends without having to worry about all those last minute gifts you have to buy. However, many people have trouble coming up with some good Easter brunch ideas which are both tasty and will get lots of compliments. Of course ham, cheese balls, and many other common Easter foods come to mind, but what about something really unique? Here are some easy ideas you might try.
1. Birds Nest Treats
These are like Rice Krispies treats, except you should use Chow Mein Noodles instead of Rice Krispies. Form them into a ball, and then before they are done cooling shape them into a bird's nest. Place some jelly beans in the nest and you'll have the cutest treats anyone has ever seen.
2. Cupcakes
There are a few good options for cupcakes. One is to make bunny cupcakes. Use the icing to draw a bunny on top. You might do the same with a yellow chick. Another option is to make a bunny-nest cupcake. This is the same as a coconut cupcake, but you should first dye the coconut strands green. You can do this by putting green dye and shredded coconut into a Ziploc bag and working the dye into the coconut.
3. Easter Egg Hunt Cake
This is a regular cake, except it's a lot more fun! When you decorate your cake, sprinkle shredded green coconut on top. Then use some speckled jelly beans as eggs, and "hide" them underneath the grass at various places. You might even put a chocolate or marshmallow bunny on top of the cake who is "looking" for the hidden eggs!
4. Jello Eggs
Jello is one of the easiest foods to make, so this is a quick and easy recipe. Rather than making your Jello in a bowl, you can make it in the shape of eggs. You can buy the mold at the grocery store or a craft store. There are many different colors you can make, and they look great served on a plate.
5. Salad
Not just any salad. We're talking Easter salad here. You're bound to have a lot of hard-boiled eggs left over from the Easter festivities, so why not put them to good use? You can make a delicious egg salad. Another great idea is to make a carrot salad. Carrots are bunny food, so this is an obvious Easter theme. Why not combine both: Carrot egg salad.
