A “Hopping” Good Easter Menu 🐰

We planned your Easter menu for brunch or dinner, so you don't have to, including the perfect Dijon Honey-Glazed Ham recipe from Evans Meat and Seafood.

By Kalli Cain, Trace Barnett

Whether you’re a family that celebrates with Easter brunch or dinner, this list of scrumptious, easy recipes will be right at home on your springtime tablescape.

MAIN EVENT

Dijon Honey Glazed Ham

We got this savory ham recipe straight from the pros at Evans’s Meat and Seafood. Melted butter, thyme, brown sugar, and Dijon marry together in a delectable glaze that will impress even the toughest food critics.

Alternatives: Try Trace’s Sweet Tea Turkey with Molasses Glaze, Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction, or—for the veggie lovers—Vegetarian Wellington with Balsamic Glaze.

SIDE DISH

Fresh Green Bean Casserole

Skip the canned Cream of Mushroom soup and make your own Béchamel paired with fresh green beans, cremini mushrooms, breadcrumbs, and parmesan! This is a side that will have people going back for seconds.

Lunchroom Lady Rolls (Yeast Rolls)

Soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, we all know a good Southern meal is not complete without a reliable dinner roll.

Corn Pone Patty

Unlike iron skillet corn bread, you can whip this up in 10 minutes! Corn pone is a classic Southern dish—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect for serving with butter, honey, or alongside a savory meal.

Alternatives: Classic Pear Salad, Spring Greens “Goose Feed” Salad with Bacon Jam, and Holiday Sweet Potato Casserole

DESSERT

Banana Pudding with Toasted Meringue

Never-Fail Southern Banana Pudding

If you don’t have banana pudding at your dessert table, something is wrong! This banana pudding is made the old-fashioned way with custard and toasted meringue, best served chilled!

Alternatives: Old-Fashion Southern Pecan Pie, Peach and Berry Cobbler, and Granmommie’s Lane Cake Cupcakes
