Easter

Easter sits in spring, and the table should say so: glazed ham, spring salads, hot cross buns, and a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

The first tested recipes are in the kitchen. The breakfast and baking collections below already carry the brunch bakes that fill an Easter morning.

This collection is just starting out. Every recipe below is complete and checked, and more land here every week.

Who it is for

Brunch hosts and anyone whose Easter is a big late lunch rather than a formal dinner. Most of it can be prepped Saturday.

Questions cooks actually ask

Can hot cross buns be made ahead?

The dough can rise overnight in the fridge. Shape and bake Sunday morning, and the recipe walks the timing.

How do I keep glazed ham from drying out?

Glaze in the last 30 minutes and pull it at 140 F internal, it carries to 145 while resting. The recipe includes the schedule.
