It’s the Easter Bunny’s favorite cake, so you have to have this wonderful cream cheese-enabled deliciousness!
Your call on whether it has raisins or walnuts.
Me? I definitely love the raisins. As for the walnuts, I’d pass except when you bite into one, it helps me fool myself that the carrots and nuts make that third slice healthy!

OK, this is traditionally a Good Friday thing in many countries, but it’s within the long Easter weekend in any event.
Hot cross buns are a spiced bun with bits of fruit (often raisins) and, of course, that cross shape that gives it its name.

Yes, mashed potatoes also play here.
But if mashed potatoes are more popular around Thanksgiving, scalloped potatoes get the nod for Easter.
Stuffing isn’t as common during this meal, so we need to spruce up the potatoes a bit!

Nothing makes that Easter table pop a bit like some novelty butter to go with the breads.
The lamb-shaped butter is the most famous and tradidtional one.
But bunny-shaped butter or ham-shaped butter or, really, any interesting-shaped butter play.

Quiche is such a strong, welcome complement to the meats and other Easter staples.
Always a good move during brunch time, quiche allows you to serve eggs in a pie-like format.

What a fun, festive bread that can serve as your centerpiece!
Variants of Easter Bread can be found throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
The Italian version pictured here has sprinkles and a dyed, hard-boiled egg in the middle.

Lamb isn’t everyone’s favorite, but it’s tradition!
With so many carbs floating around Easter brunch, it’s nice to have a hearty meat option.

This is the part of the list that gets the debates going.
Deviled eggs fans can make a strong argument for them being #1.
The proof is in the excitement and in how quickly they can go if you haven’t made a ton.
To be fair, let’s look at the other candidates…

Along with lamb, ham is THE traditional Easter meat.
It’s delicious and needed, but points are deducted because it’s rare to find someone pounding the table for ham as their favorite Easter dish.
Enter the #1 Easter food…

OK, there will be many naysayers who say the chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and various candy eggs don’t count as an Easter dish.
Well, then revert to boring old ham as your #1.
But for the rest of us, the most exciting part of Easter dining is the deluge of exciting candies…
