You can mix and match your favorites or stick with the classics. Either way, you’ll have a meal everyone will love.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry. I’ve even included a quick “build your menu” guide at the bottom to help you pull everything together stress-free.

🍖 Start with the Main Dish

For many families, ham is the centerpiece of Easter dinner. A sweet and savory glaze paired with tender, juicy ham makes for the perfect holiday main dish. These two options are always crowd-pleasers and simple to prepare:

🥖 Don’t Forget the Rolls

Warm, homemade rolls are a must for Easter dinner. There’s just something about pulling apart a soft, fluffy roll and slathering it with butter that makes the meal feel complete. Whether you like to make them ahead or whip them up the same day, these recipes have you covered. If you want to make your table extra festive, be sure to check out my post on different ways to shape dinner rolls.

🥔 Add Comforting Side Dishes

No Easter dinner is complete without a few creamy, comforting sides. From mashed potatoes to cheesy casseroles and fresh vegetables, these dishes pair perfectly with ham and bring balance to your plate.

For potato lovers, you can’t go wrong with Onion and Chive Mashed Potatoes, Shredded Potatoes Au Gratin, My Aunt’s Potato Casserole, Market Street Au Gratin Potatoes, Cheese Potatoes, or No Cream of Soup Potato Casserole.

If you’re looking for fresh spring vegetables, Oven Roasted Broccoli, Roasted Asparagus, Sweet Carrots, and Slow Cooker Brown-Sugared Baby Carrots are all simple and delicious options.

For something a little different, Pineapple Casserole, 5 Cup Fruit Salad, Luau Salad, Macaroni Salad, Laura’s Potato Salad, and Summer Spinach Salad add bright flavors to the table. And of course, you can’t forget Easter Deviled Eggs, Deviled Eggs Two Ways, or Mom’s Baked Beans—holiday classics that always disappear quickly.

🍰 Finish with a Beautiful Easter Dessert

Easter dessert is where you can really have some fun. Light lemon flavors, fresh strawberries, creamy pies, and sweet bars all feel perfect for spring.
