Celebrate the freshness of spring with these delightful Spring Herb Deviled Eggs. Packed with vibrant flavors and herbs, this twist on a classic appetizer is perfect for any Easter celebration or spring gathering. These eggs are not only tasty but also add a pop of color to your table!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Additional Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 12 deviled eggs

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

After the time is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before peeling. Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface and peel away the shell under running water for ease.

Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and the chopped herbs to the yolks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Sprinkle a little paprika on top for an extra touch of flavor and color. Arrange the filled deviled eggs on a serving platter and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Extra Tips:

• For a touch of kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the yolk filling.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 24 bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup finely grated carrots
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a mini muffin tin with paper liners. This will ensure that your carrot cake bites don’t stick to the pan while baking.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix everything well until evenly distributed.

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Then, fold in the finely grated carrots and the drained pineapple until well combined.

Next, gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined to ensure that you don’t overmix. If you’re adding them, fold in the walnuts next.

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bite comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.

Once done, let the mini carrot cake bites cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Extra Tips:

Before baking, insert small pieces of mozzarella cheese into the center of each bunny. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the shaped breadsticks for a glossy finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra texture.

• 12 mini phyllo pastry cups or tartlet shells

Instructions:

Start by chopping the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and the chopped chives and dill. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.

Next, season the egg mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Mix it again until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout.

Now, take the mini phyllo pastry cups and fill each one generously with the egg salad mixture. Ensure that you fill them to the top for a delightful burst of flavor in every bite.

Once all tartlets are filled, they are ready to serve. These are best enjoyed immediately, but you can also refrigerate them for a short period before serving if needed.

Extra Tips:

• For an added crunch, sprinkle some paprika or crushed red pepper on top of the egg salad before serving.
• If you’re not a fan of dill, you can substitute it with parsley or thyme for a different flavor profile.
• You can also customize the filling by adding diced celery or pickles for extra texture.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Additional Time: 30 minutes (for marinating)

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup bell peppers, cut into chunks (red, yellow, green)
• 1 cup zucchini, sliced into rounds

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook them for about 10 minutes total, turning occasionally until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

When done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Vegetable Skewers!

17. Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Bites

Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Bites are the perfect festive appetizer, combining the earthy sweetness of roasted beets with the creamy tang of goat cheese. These vibrant bites are not only delicious but also add a pop of color to your Easter spread. Easy to assemble, they’re sure to impress your guests!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Additional Time: 10 minutes (for cooling)
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 12 bites

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized beets
• 4 ounces goat cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
• 12 small toasted baguette slices or crackers

Instructions:

First, begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Once clean, wrap each beet in aluminum foil, drizzling a little olive oil over them before sealing the foil.

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. After roasting, take them out and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before unwrapping, as they will be very hot.

Once cool enough to handle, peel the beets by rubbing the skin off with your fingers or using a paper towel. Cut the beets into thin rounds. Next, prepare the goat cheese by placing it in a bowl and mixing in a bit of salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble the bites, take a toasted baguette slice or cracker, and spread a generous amount of goat cheese on top. Place a round of roasted beet on the cheese and finish off with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for garnish.

Serve immediately and enjoy these beautifully colorful bites!

Extra Tips:

• Opt for golden beets for a different flavor and color.
• You can make the roasted beets ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a more indulgent bite, top with a sprinkle of crushed walnuts or pecans.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1 cup banana slices
• 1 cup grapes (red or green)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions:

Start by preparing your fruit. Rinse the strawberries and grapes under cold water, hull and halve the strawberries, and cut the pineapple into chunks. Slice the bananas into thick pieces.

Next, take the wooden skewers and begin threading the fruit onto them. Alternate the fruit for a colorful effect, and make sure to leave some space at the ends of the skewer for holding.

Now, it’s time to melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil, if using. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Once melted, dip the fruit kebabs into the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped kebabs on a parchment-lined tray.

Finally, let the chocolate set at room temperature for a few minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up quicker. Serve the Chocolate-Dipped Fruit Kebabs chilled or at room temperature for a delicious treat!

Extra Tips:

• For a fun twist, sprinkle some chopped nuts or shredded coconut on the chocolate before it hardens.
• You can also use other fruits like kiwi or melons for variety!
