Easter is finally at our doorstep. And with it arrive traditional meals, egg hunts, laughter around the table and chocolatey swaps. There’s no better way to highlight this holiday that coincides with spring’s arrival than with a brunch featuring must-haves that both young and old alike will enjoy. To your tables!

Ham, that’s good!

Easter without ham? Inconceivable! This traditional piece of meat has been at the centre of (almost) all Quebecers’ tables for decades. It’s a delight that we never grow tired of, especially when it boasts caramelized maple notes.

This year, serve P’tit Caprice natural maple flavoured smoked ham by Lafleur, a local company. And Lafleur knows ham! The P’tit Caprice is naturally smoked and gluten free, perfect for Uncle Dennis who has celiac disease. And with 16% protein, this ham will satiate even the hungriest and pickiest eaters!

The cream of the crop!

With rich Lactancia 15% cooking cream, there’s no need to compromise on taste! Perfect for cooking, it stands up to high heat and won’t curdle when acidic ingredients or alcohol are added.

For your Easter brunch, serve it in a delicious caramelized onion, mushroom and spinach quiche. Make this dish on a sheet pan with a yogurt shortcrust pastry. With its creamy filling, this quiche will make it onto the list of recipes to be made again and again.

Pure butter joy

Croissants are synonymous with butter. Whether it’s to spread it with jam or dunk it into a runny egg yolk, croissants are always a unanimous hit. This bakery product is extremely versatile and can be enjoyed with both sweet and savoury meals.

Au Pain Doré pure butter (and pure joy!) croissants are baked every morning at IGA. Crispy and perfectly flaky, they’ll be the perfect addition to Easter brunch.

It’s just better with eggs

Easter without chocolate is just unimaginable. And while selection is endless, let yourself fall for Hershey’s EGGIES. These milk chocolate treats are coated in a crunchy, pastel-coloured candy shell that double as pretty table décor when it comes time for dessert.

Their small size is a real plus: you can eat more (your sweet tooth will be happy!) and given that they’re easy to hide, the egg hunt can last longer. EGGIES will be the cherry on top of your Easter sundae, a sweet and crowd-pleasing touch, a magical treat that will make your guests’ eyes light up.

Simplicity and authenticity on the menu

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel for a successful Easter brunch. When you use quality ingredients and serve dishes that have stood the test of time, the meal becomes a timeless moment where the only thing that matters is having a good time. Happy Easter!
