Let’s make the cutest EASTER BUNNY CHEESEBOARD!

Let’s make the cutest EASTER BUNNY CHEESEBOARD! @imbalancebysarah and I created this adorable sharing board for your Easter celebrations.

It’s super simple to make AND easy to add ingredients based on your tastes - here’s how to make it:

INGREDIENTS:
2x small wheels of brie
1x Boursin cheese (flavour of choice)
Strawberries
Raspberries
Dried Apricots
Green beans and/or snap peas
Cucumbers
Radishes
Carrots
Dill or ranch dip
Salami or prosciutto
Crackers

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. On a large serving or cutting board, use one wheel of brie as the main body piece of the bunny and then place the Boursin cheese above as the ‘head’ part of the bunny body.
2. Use the second wheel of brie to cut out two bunny ears (oval shaped) and two feet (two small circles). Place the ears above the Boursin and the circle ‘feet’ on the bottom of the other brie.
3. Fill in the remainder of the board with a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and meats and a dill or ranch dip as a side. Serve and enjoy!

It doesn’t get better than this DEEP DISH MINI-EGG COOKIE BOWL. Melty chocolate mini-eggs in a buttery, chewy cookie dough that’s made for one.

You’re going to want to save this recipe for when you’re craving dessert!

Here’s the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp white sugar
1x egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
6 1/2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp chopped chocolate mini-eggs (or chocolate chips)
