Best Egg Dishes for Easter – Easter Eggs Recipes If You Prefer Chicken Eggs to Chocolate Eggs

Our best egg dishes for Easter if you prefer your Easter eggs to come from a chicken rather than a chocolate bunny include everything from an omelette or frittata with herbs to poached eggs with crunchy asparagus, crispy fried pancetta and fresh parmesan, a perfect Spring dish.

We’ll be eating Terence’s deliciously spicy hot cross buns over Easter, and we’ll be cooking some of our best salmon recipes, including this easy but incredibly beautiful salmon tray bake, but we’ll also be making some of our best egg dishes for Easter and that’s eggs of the chicken kind not the chocolate kind as I will always prefer savoury over sweet.

If you also prefer your Easter eggs to come from a chicken rather than a chocolate rabbit, and you don’t find an egg dish below that takes your fancy, do browse our massive Weekend Eggs collection of hundreds of egg recipes from around the world because what kind of an Easter is it with eggs?

We’ll be celebrating both Easters this year, as usual, as I also observe the Orthodox Easter next week. I like to use some of the traditions of ‘home’ as a way to connect me with my family, especially my mum and my long-departed grandparents. It’s something a lot of expats find themselves doing when they’ve lived abroad for as long as we have – 24 years this year!

Celebrating family holidays and traditions triggers memories of time spent together and that act of remembering is very pleasant in itself, even if it’s bittersweet. When those traditions have a food component, as Easter and Christmas do, there’s the added bonus of the recollection of delicious memories related to meals prepared and shared together, which can be savoured while cooking and eating.

As a child I would help my baboushka dye boiled eggs different colours for the Orthodox Easter, which she would take to church to be blessed. (Incidentally, the history of why Easter eggs are dyed and decorated is fascinating.) This year I thought I’d pickle some eggs, so I’ve been researching Asian flavours and spices to use in place of bay leaves. I’ll let you know how I go and share the recipe.

But as I much prefer savoury to sweet, I also plan on cooking some of Terence’s egg dishes over Easter. We have dozens of eggs recipes in our Grantourismo archive. If you’re like me and you prefer chicken eggs to chocolate eggs, here’s a round-up of recipes for our best egg dishes for Easter or any other day of the year. But first I have a favour to ask.

If you’ve made any of our egg dishes or other recipes and you’ve enjoyed them, please consider supporting Grantourismo so we can continue creating recipes and food content. This post has a list of ways to support Grantourismo but here are a few ideas: you could browse our online store where we have everything from gifts for food lovers designed from Terence’s photography to reusable cloth face masks you’ll actually want to wear.

You could also consider making a donation or becoming a regular patron of our epic Cambodian cookbook and culinary history on Patreon or you could buy something on Amazon, such as one of these James Beard 2020 award-winning cookbooks, cookbooks by Australian chefs, cookbooks for foodie travellers, classic cookbooks for serious cooks, and gifts for Asian food lovers and picnic lovers. Now here’s a round-up of our best egg dishes for Easter if you prefer savoury eggs to chocolate eggs.

Best Egg Dishes for Easter – Easter Eggs Recipes If You Prefer Chicken Eggs to Chocolate Eggs

A round-up of our best egg dishes for Easter or any other day of the year:

A Perfect Omelette

An omelette is absolutely perfect for an Easter brunch or lunch, washed down with glasses of bubbly and this is easily one of our best egg dishes in the recipe archive, as it makes a perfect omelette.

A Tale of Two Omelette Recipes

Fast Omelette Recipe

This fast omelette recipe is the omelette you make when you’re at home with family, enjoying some quiet, fuss-free time together or you’re simply too tired to make that perfect omelette above. There’s nobody to impress and for you Easter is just another holiday and the chance to take it easy rather than hunt for chocolate eggs or host lunch.

Fast Omelette with Bacon Recipe

Herb Omelette

One of our best egg dishes in the archive is this one for a Cambodian saom omelette, which is traditionally a thinner, browner and crispier omelette, but Terence makes it in the French style, which I much prefer. It’s very filling so ideal for brunch and while we use sa’om or climbing wattle, a garlicky green herb that becomes sweet when cooked, you could easily replace the sa’om with dill, basil, coriander or any other fragrant herb.

Cambodian Saom Omelette Recipe for an Herbaceous Weekend Eggs Dish with Foraged Greens

Poached Eggs, Asparagus, Pancetta and Parmesan

This light Spring dish of poached eggs with crunchy asparagus, crispy fried pancetta and fresh parmesan is an Italian classic and is easily one of our best egg dishes for Easter, which coincides with asparagus season. Terence made this in Venice in the kitchen of our palazzo apartment rental overlooking the Grand Canal to use the spring asparagus that had just come into season. Served with a crisp white wine it’s a fantastic Spring dish so perfect for Easter lunch.

Poached Eggs, Asparagus, Pancetta and Parmesan Recipe – Weekend Eggs Venice Edition

Poached Eggs, Asparagus, Pancetta and Parmesan – the Fancy Version

This is another of our best egg dishes for Easter, and it is one of my favourites. This poached eggs, asparagus, pancetta and parmesan dish is a more creative and more contemporary version of the classic eggs dish, above. It’s perfect for a spring brunch as it’s pretty, and it also looks like you’ve gone to more trouble than you have. It’s a playful take on the classic and is fun to eat. Serve with a crunchy baguette.

Eggs Benedict

There are few more quintessential brunch dishes than eggs Benedict and you don’t need to do anything more than open a bottle of sparkling wine to transform this into a wonderful Easter or spring brunch or lunch.

Eggs Benedict Recipe for Weekend Eggs New York Edition

Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon, Caviar and Dill

These creamy scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, caviar and dill have become something of a Christmas breakfast tradition for us over the years, but by the time we get around to making and eating them it’s normally Christmas lunch. You can serve these year-round, of course, and there’s no reason why you can’t serve this for Easter brunch. The inclusion of caviar is what makes this suited for a special occasion or holiday, so buy a good bottle of bubbles to wash them down with.

Scrambled Eggs with Truffles

For me, these scrambled eggs with truffles are the winter equivalent of the smoked salmon and caviar with scrambled eggs, which really works year-round, so if you’re in the southern hemisphere, where it’s autumn, this one is for you if you can get hold of some early season truffles. This is another special occasion brunch or lunch eggs dish deserving of a good bottle of sparkling to accompany the dish.

Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Truffles Recipe for Weekend Eggs, the Vienna Edition

Classic Salade Lyonnaise

This classic salade Lyonnaise, which Terence made when we stayed in a handsome stone house in Céret in southwest France in spring 2010 (when we slipped away to Perpignan for the Easter weekend to see the Procession de la Sanch), is another one of our best egg dishes. It’s brilliant for a spring brunch or lunch at Easter or any other time. It pairs very nicely with a crisp white wine. Everyone washes down their brunch/lunch eggs with a glass of wine, right?

Classic Salade Lyonnaise Recipe – Weekend Eggs Southern France Edition

Frittata with Spanish Chorizo and Caramelised Onions

This chorizo and caramelised onion frittata is one of our best egg dishes from the archive because besides being so delicious, it’s so easy to make. There’s no need to mess about with pastry as you have to with quiche nor flip it as you do with a tortilla. Serve it warm or at room temperature and it still tastes good. Make a Mediterranean style salad, open a bottle of Rosé and you have light meal that’s ideal for Spring.

Frittata Recipe with Chorizo and Caramelised Onions for Weekend Eggs

Spanish Potato and Onion Tortilla

There are few more enjoyable meals than a spread of Spanish tapas and you can keep things simple by making this potato and onion tortilla recipe the only dish that needs to be cooked. Prepare a platter of Spanish cold cuts and cheeses, open a tin of anchovies, fill some small dishes with juicy olives, slice some crusty fresh bread, and it looks like you’ve gone to a lot more trouble than you have.

Vietnamese Style Crab Omelette Recipe

This is one of our best egg dishes if you’re inviting friends over for a spring brunch or lunch and are out to impress as it just looks so wonderful. Originally from China, this Vietnamese-style crab omelette can easily be eaten on its own or you could serve an Asian salad on the side. It washes down well with a cold beer or glass of white wine.

Crab Omelette Recipe for a Very Decadent Weekend Eggs Dish

Kai Yat Say

On the subject of omelettes, this Thai ‘stuffed’ eggs recipe is another one of our best egg dishes from the archive. Although this egg ‘parcel’ of stir-fried pork mince, diced vegetables and oyster sauce is not really a breakfast or brunch dish in Thailand, it’s one of those street food snacks you can find on the footpaths of Bangkok any time of day or night. It’s a substantial dish so you don’t need anything with it, other than some cold Singha beers.

Kai Yat Say Thai Stuffed Eggs Recipe for Weekend Eggs Bangkok Edition

North African Chakchouka

This North African chakchouka recipe for eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce is thought to have originated in Tunisia or Algeria, yet is found right across the Middle East and North African region. It’s another of Terence’s best egg dishes and one of the best examples of chakchouka I’ve ever eaten. Warming and comforting, it’s a fantastic dish for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere where the cooler autumn (‘fall’ for North Americans) season has just started.

North African Chakchouka Recipe for Poached Eggs in a Spicy Tomato Sauce

Huevos Revueltos Con Chorizo

Huevos revueltos con chorizo (scrambled eggs with chorizo) is such a quintessential Mexico City breakfast although it can also be eaten for brunch and lunch with larger than normal portions of refried beans, a stack of fresh tortillas or bowl of quality corn chips, and dishes of extra chilli sauce, white cheese or sour cream, and some jalapenos. This is easily another of our best egg dishes if you like your eggs spicy.

Authentic Huevos Revueltos con Chorizo Recipe Based on Our Mexico City Favourite

Scrambled Eggs with Arabic Lamb Sausages and Za’atar Toast

These scrambled eggs with Arabic lamb sausages and za’atar toast was created in Dubai, our home for some years, and was the dish that kicked off our Weekend Eggs series when we launched Grantourismo with our year-long grand tour back in 2010. This could be an Arabian style hot English breakfast and it could also be eaten for brunch on Easter or any other day.

Scrambled Eggs with Arabic Sausage and Za’atar Toast Recipe

Huevos Con Chorizo

This huevos con chorizo recipe (eggs with chorizo) differs to the huevos revueltos con chorizo recipe (scrambled eggs with chorizo), above, in that in this dish the eggs are more lightly scrambled, the chorizo is cured not fresh, and it’s chopped so it’s not as well combined with the eggs. While still spicy it’s a lighter dish despite being creamy, which makes it a better brunch or lunch dish. Once again, though, you want to roll these up in soft tortillas, corn or flour.

Huevos con Chorizo Recipe for Scrambled Eggs with Spanish Chorizo Made in Jerez

Scrambled Eggs with Sucuk Sausage

Both this Turkish-inspired breakfast dish of scrambled eggs with sucuk sausage, bell peppers, eggplants, and parsley and these scrambled eggs with Njeguski kobasica (a smoky pork sausage from the village of Njeguski in Montenegro) and ajvar (‘Serbian salsa’) make for filling egg-based dishes that are terrific for brunch or lunch, Easter or any day.

Contemporary Huevos Rancheros

Like the scrambled eggs dishes, above, Terence’s contemporary take on Mexico’s huevos rancheros or ranch style eggs, served on top of soft tortillas and smothered in a spicy tomato sauce is another of our best egg dishes that’s lovely for brunch or lunch.

Mexican Huevos Rancheros Recipe for a Contemporary Take on Traditional Mexican Ranch Eggs

Bubur Ayam

The Balinese version of Indonesian congee or rice porridge, bubur ayam, is filling enough for brunch or lunch with its poached chicken and shredded omelette. Like a lot of Asian street food dishes, you can really eat this at any time of day and I much prefer it for lunch rather than breakfast.

Bubur Ayam Recipe for Indonesian Congee with Chicken and Shredded Omelette

Banh Mi Op La

Lunches don’t come much easier than what we called a salad roll when we were young and lived in Australia. One of our favourite lunch ‘rolls’ in Asia is the French influenced Vietnamese baguette called banh mi, and best of all is the banh mi op la, which we used to eat in Hoi An, which comes with an omelette. The addition of egg gives it a breakfast feel but it’s fantastic for lunch too. You can make a whole batch of them and chop them in quarters to serve for family or a group of friends.

If you’re still looking for food inspo for Chris If you’re still looking for food inspo for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day meals, my smoked salmon ‘carpaccio’ recipe is one of dozens of recipes in this compilation of our best Christmas recipes (link below). 

The Christmas recipe compilation includes collections of our best Christmas breakfast recipes, best Christmas brunch recipes, best Christmas starter recipes, best Christmas cocktails, best Christmas dessert recipes, and homemade edible Christmas gifts and more.

My smoked salmon carpaccio recipe makes an easy elegant appetiser that’s made in minutes. If you’re having guests over, you can make the dish ahead by assembling the salmon, capers and pickled onions, and refrigerate it, then pour on the dressing just before serving. 

Provide toasted baguette slices and bowls of additional capers, pickles and dressing, so guests can customise their carpaccio. And open the bubbly!

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

You’ll find the recipes here: https://grantourismotravels.com/homemade-edible-christmas-gifts/ (link in bio if you’re seeing this on IG)

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

If you’re looking for tips to visiting Angkor, Siem Reap and Cambodia, just ask us a question in the comments below or check Grantourismo as we’ve got loads of info on our site. Click through to the link in the bio and explore our Cambodia guide or search for ‘Angkor’. 

And please do let us know if you’re coming to Siem Reap. We’d love to see you here x

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bún chả, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bún chả. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bún chả recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bún chả meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bún thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bún bò Nam Bộ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bộ=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs. 

Xíu mại= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bún chả patties. Xíu mại remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bánh tằm xíu mại. Bánh tằm=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bún chả giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to “partner” with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
