18 Quick Easter Dishes Under 5 Ingredients

For me, holidays are all about the food. While nothing beats Thanksgiving, any excuse to make a ton of food sounds like a great celebration to me. A lot of people think that holiday foods have to be extremely labor intensive, and sometimes are not even worth the effort; those people are wrong! In this list of Easter dishes under 5 ingredients, you'll find sweet and savory options that take little time or expertise at all. Whether you celebrate Easter or not, I recommend whipping up some of these treats and sharing them with friends, family, roommates, or whoever you are around this spring season. 

4 Ingredient Pavlova

If you've never had pavlova, you're missing out. It's basically a giant merengue cookie that you can load up with whipped cream and fresh berries.  

5-Ingredient Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls don't quite count as the classic Easter hot crossed buns, but they're pretty dang close. Keep it simple and make these easy cinnamon rolls to please you and any company you have with dairy restrictions!

Easter Rabbit Hole Cookies

Easter desserts don't get much cuter than this. These adorable, chocolate bunny bum's are made with a delicious amount of Nutella and some basic ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Out of everything I eat on Easter, scalloped potatoes are probably my favorite. Who doesn't love creamy, crispy, buttery potatoes?

Broccoli Cheese Quiche

If you're planning on having an Easter brunch, this super easy quiche will be a crowd pleaser. All you have to do is make the filling and throw it in the oven. 

Strawberry Rose Tart

Think you can't make a five ingredient dish look like it was made by a French pastry chef? Think again. This floral and fruity tart is much simpler than it looks, and a sure way to impress your friends and family.

Honey Baked Ham

I couldn't write an article about Easter and leave out ham. This honey baked ham is the perfect mix of sweet and savory for your feast.

Parmesan Roasted Green Beans

Just because it's a holiday doesn't mean you can skip out on your greens! Make 'em a little tastier by coating them in crispy parmesan.

Carrot Cake

This carrot cake is vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free. Yes, you heard that right. If you want something a little less indulgent for dessert, but still super tasty, this is the perfect dish to make. 

Deviled Eggs

You can't have Easter without some type of eggs. Don't stress over making some over-the-top deviled egg recipe, just make these!

Smoked Salmon Bites

If you're looking for an appetizer that takes absolutely no cooking skills, this is the one for you. This recipe is perfect for making people believe you have your sh*t together, even if you don't!

Soft Challah

Challah has always been something I bought at the store, it just seemed way too hard to make. There are some pretty complex recipes out there, but this is not one of them. With just five ingredients, you can get perfectly fluffy challah without leaving your home.

Easter Fudge

You have to indulge a little (or a lot) for the holidays. This quick recipe is adorable and addicting. These will get eaten faster than you can make them!

Steamed Artichoke

Steamed artichokes are the perfect in-season appetizer. Dip them in a little butter, and you have the perfect palate cleanser before dinner.

Garlic and Herb Cheese Bombs

Cheese. Bread. Garlic. I don't think I need to say more.

Easter Birds Nests

These super cute treats require only three ingredients. They are perfect to make with kids or company!

Strawberry Chia Jam

Top your toast, biscuit, or muffin with some delicious jam that is free from preservatives. This jam doesn't require any special techniques, the chia seeds do all the work for you.

Roasted Asparagus

Asparagus can be gross, but not when they're in season! This lemony recipe is equally buttery and refreshing.
