Whip up some feta with yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice for a flavorful spread (or serve it as a dip with all your favorite veggies). If you’re not a fan of whipped feta, use goat cheese or any herbed cheese you like  – even basil pesto would be yum.

Serve these Easter crostini on your favorite wooden chopping board or platter and cut out a few extra mango chicks to decorate with. You can even add mini carrots or easter eggs.

Sliced bread topped with avocado, cream cheese, and mango chicks.

If you want to prep these, prepare all the elements (apart from the avocado, which is best fresh). Wait to assemble until your guests arrive.

A wooden board holds slices of bread topped with avocado, egg, and chick-shaped decorations—perfect for fun food recipes or healthy bites. Yellow chick marshmallow candies and colored Easter eggs add a festive touch, with fairy lights on a gray surface underneath.

  • Flatten out the pieces with the palm of your hand, ensuring they are still overlapping.
