There’s more than one way to serve up Easter brunch. This year, skip the usual egg-centric dishes and large family entrées. Instead, consider an artfully arranged grazing board filled with colorful and creative flavor-packed morsels. Everyone 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 love. 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. Though beautiful to behold, they’re suprisingly 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 a sprinkle of crunchy finishing salt—this trio is a French classic for a reason. Ready to make your own showstoppers?

Cheesy Potato Bites
These savory bites are adorned with all the good stuff—crisp prosciutto strips, bright fresh herbs, and salty Parmesan cheese. Their golden, sturdy exterior makes them easy to pick up, while the soft, creamy centers 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 keeps 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 gives the dough both flavor and structure, resulting in a waffle that’s delicious on its own—and downright decadent when filled with flavorful additions like smoky salmon, creamy mascarpone, and briny capers.

“Deviled” Strawberries
These strawberry halves cleverly mimic the look of their deviled egg namesakes. 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 without needing to be eaten right away (though they’re hard to resist and likely won’t last 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 available for online order and pickup at your neighborhood Metropolitan Market. Traditional hot cross buns, Easter-themed petit fours, and whimsical chocolate bunnies can double as both delicious menu items and charming table décor. We guarantee they’ll taste amazing—and make your table look extra festive!
