classic southern appetizers for Easter dinner

And whether your family loves an Easter ham and scalloped potatoes or fried chicken and potato salad, there’s always room for an appetizer or two before the big meal. Favorites like deviled eggs, pickles and relishes, dips and cheese straws are always a welcome sight when guests are looking for something to nibble.

And no one will be short of nibbles when they’re welcomed at your door! This Easter appetizer list has all the classics your guest are expecting and some fresh ideas too!

How Many Easter Appetizers To Make

Since finger foods and appetizers are just happy bites to hold your guests over until the main event, it’s safe to estimate that each guest will have 3-5 servings or individual appetizers when snacking before a meal. Below is an easy reference for deciding how many apps to make for your Easter feast:

  • 4-5 people: 1-2 appetizer recipes (1 dozen deviled eggs or 1 dozen deviled eggs + a dip)
  • 6-10 people: 2-3 appetizer recipes
  • 10-20 people: 4-5 appetizer recipes
