Easter Dinner For Two Ideas: 2 unique menus 2022
We’ve put together Easter dinner ideas for two with appetizers, main dishes, sides and desserts. Some traditional, some not.
Choose from one of our 2 unique menus or mix-and-match recipes to create your own menu. Either way, you will be sitting down to a delicious Easter meal you will love.

Easter is one of those special occasions to celebrate with loved ones. Often that means a large gathering. Today we are creating a celebration just for two – a partner, family member, spouse or friend.
The Easter recipes below work for two (maybe with a few leftovers). Or they can easily be scaled down if you prefer not to make too much food.
What is included in a traditional Easter dinner?
Easter dinner recipes vary widely based on culture and family traditions. For some, Easter reflects deep religious traditions.
Others celebrate with the fun parts like Easter eggs, Easter candy, hiding Easter baskets, a colorfully decorated Easter table or an Easter egg hunt.
Typical Easter dinner fare in North America and several other western cultures include a ham recipe, sides, salads and desserts. Pretty much a special occasion Sunday dinner with ham.
Why ham? The tradition started because ham was cured and widely available back in the day. Here is an explanation about how ham became a tradition. Many families stay with this tradition. Others find alternatives for dietary reasons or if ham is not their thing.
Another common main dish served on on Easter Day is roast lamb which has origins from the first Passover seder.
Traditional sides for this holiday dinner include homemade biscuits, sweet glazed carrots, asparagus and a cheesy potato casserole.
Breakfast on Easter Sunday will often include boiled eggs. And some families serve hot cross buns on Good Friday.
About the Easter Dinner for Two Ideas
If it feels too overwhelming to choose from a long list of delicious recipes, we are sharing two crafted Easter menu options. They both take advantage of spring vegetables with one or two traditional recipes.
Each menu includes a starter, several main course options, sides and a dessert. Find the recipes for each menu below the menu. Needless to say, you can mix and match to create your own menu.
You won’t see a ham recipe here. You will see other great ideas. At least we think you will :). Keep in mind that all these menus can serve more people if you adjust servings.
