1. Easter Egg Nest Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chocolate chips
24 mini chocolate eggs
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated.
Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat. Stir in shredded coconut until fully coated. Spoon the mixture onto the top of each cupcake, creating nest-like shapes. Place mini chocolate eggs on top of the nests and let the chocolate set before serving.
2. Spring Vegetable Frittata
Ingredients:
8 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup diced asparagus
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup sliced scallions
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in asparagus, red bell pepper, scallions, and cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
3. Lemon and Herb Roast Lamb
Ingredients:
1 leg of lamb, about 5-6 pounds
2 lemons, juiced and zested
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, and olive oil to create a marinade. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and place it in a roasting pan.
Pour the marinade over the lamb, making sure it is completely coated. Cover the pan with foil and let it marinate in the fridge for 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the lamb from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Roast for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer reads 135°F for medium-rare. Let the lamb rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
