Frequently Asked Questions
How much ham for Easter dinner?
For bone-in ham, plan for 1/2 pound per person (includes bone weight). For boneless ham, 1/3 pound per person. A 10-pound bone-in ham serves 15-20 people.
How many deviled eggs per person?
Plan for 2-3 deviled egg halves per person as an appetizer. For 20 guests, you'll need 20-30 eggs (40-60 halves). Make extra - they're always popular!
What's the difference between Easter brunch and dinner?
Easter brunch (10am-1pm) features lighter fare: eggs, quiche, fruit, pastries, and maybe ham. Easter dinner (2-5pm) is a full meal with ham or lamb as the main course, multiple sides, and dessert.
