Easter is a big holiday to a lot of the world and has unique or special dishes. Please share them here.

Right now I'm looking for inspiration to do something different with a leg of lamb.

I am not a great fan of fruit cakes however do love marzipan so I plan on eating a slice of simnel cake but baked by the church ladies. Simnel cake is a fruitcake eaten in the UK and Ireland around Lent. It is distinguished by layers of almond paste or marzipan, typically one in the middle and one on top, and a set of eleven balls made of the same paste. (11 for the apostles minus Judas) It was originally made for the fourth Sunday in Lent, and continues to be only eaten around Lent.
 
We always do an "Easter Pie". It's very simple, healthy, and delicious. Just boiled chard or spinach (squeeze the water out well!) baked in a pie with ricotta cheese (mixed with a raw egg, salt and pepper) and whole hard boiled eggs arranged so there's at least half of one in each slice, served with marinara on the side. It's an Italian dish and we do ours with more chard than cheese, layered, so it's not like quiche.
 
We make fish pie... In Spain it's called "empanada gallega", but you look at it and it's fish pie. You can use fresh or canned fish, chopped onions and peppers, and any ingredients you have at hand. We use tomatoes, potatoes, peas, sometimes boiled eggs and carrots. Use phyllo pastry if you can, that shit makes everything taste better.
 
My family's tradition is cinnimon rolls, usually just the basic bisquick recipe. I've made rolls from scratch before but I always end up wanting my mom's bisquick rolls instead, lol. This year I'm going to try blueberry rolls that I saw in a dessert cookbook.
Not sure what dinner will be, sometimes I just do something easy like eggs and ham.

Yummy. My family has never done it. Usually we make torrijas though it’s been a couple of Easters since we last made some. My best friend‘s family always do a batch with cocoa powder (Cola Cao) instead of cinnammon because she doesn’t like it otherwise. I can’t imagine not liking cinnamon but it’s pretty endearing.

For those that don’t know Torrijas are basically like french toast. Though the chauvinist in me wants to say they’re way better. Either way, highly recommended.
Food in Spain is so good but so funny too.

sorry to necro the thread but it’s in season lol

This thread reminded me how much I hate Easter bread. What a dumb concept.
Just braided bread with dyed boiled eggs stuck into it. Just what I want with my bread, leaky dye from an egg with shell still on.
