There’s more than one way to serve up Easter brunch. This year, skip the usual egg-centric dishes and large family entrées. Consider, instead, an artfully arranged grazing board filled with colorful and creative flavor-packed morsels. Those gathered around to enjoy the celebration will appreciate the casual approach that invites leisurely lingering and nibbling throughout the day.
Asparagus Tartlets
Bright green asparagus is an undisputed star of spring. Featured atop crisp, buttery pastry and paired with salty cheese, it’s hard not to like. The tartlets’ small size eliminates the need for a fork and knife, making these brunch bites easy to eat—without leaving behind a trail of pastry flakes. For easy instructions, click here.
Radish and Butter Tea Sandwiches
Stick with the finger food theme and serve up these stunning, edible works of art. While beautiful to behold, they are simple to prepare. Get creative and experiment with different patterns and shapes for added visual appeal. Don’t underestimate the deliciousness of peppery radish, creamy butter, and crunchy finishing salt—this trio is a French classic for a reason. Ready to make your own show stoppers? Click here.
Cheesy Potato Bites
These savory bites are adorned with all the good stuff—crisp prosciutto strips, bright fresh herbs, and salty parmesan cheese. They’ve got a golden, sturdy exterior that makes them easy to pick up and soft creamy centers that keep everyone coming back for more. Click here for the recipe.
Mini Waffle Bars
Serve up waffles with all the fixings in easy-to-grab, three-compartment strips. A boxed waffle mix makes prep simple and still delivers great flavor, though the texture will be on the softer side. For something extra special, try our homemade brioche-style waffle. An overnight rise results in dough with both flavor and structure, resulting in a waffle that’s delicious on its own, but over-the-top when filled with flavorful additions such as smoky salmon, creamy mascarpone, and briny capers.

"Deviled" Strawberries
These strawberry halves mimic the look of their deviled egg namesakes. And while you could simply top strawberries with whipped cream, a cream cheese filling adds a bit more decadence and holds up better over time. They can sit on a serving tray and need not be consumed immediately—although they’re hard to resist and won’t stay untouched long! Click here for the recipe.
The Final Touches
Holidays are special occasions that warrant a few unique elements and thoughtful extra touches. Further adorn your grazing board with specialty treats you can order online and pick up at your local Metropolitan Market. Traditional hot cross buns, Easter-themed petit fours, and chocolate bunnies can serve as both menu items and table décor. We guarantee they’ll taste great and make your table look extra festive!
