Easter is just around the corner, and it’s time to hop on over to the Strack & Van Til Deli Department to select your “egg-ceptional” Easter feast.

When it’s time serve your “peeps,” the Strack & Van Til Deli has Easter Meals Made Easy that will make “everybunny” happy. Better yet, with fully cooked, heat-and-serve meals you can spend less time prepping and more time enjoying the holiday.

For an early meal, the Deli Department’s delicious Easter brunch includes a La Terra Fina quiche in your choice of Cheesy Broccoli, Lorraine or Spinach Florentine, a deli fresh fruit salad, Reser’s Shredded Potato Casserole, freshly sliced deli baked ham with ham glaze and King’s Hawaiian sliced bread. This tasty spread serves four and is priced at $49.99.

Enjoy Strack & Van Til’s new Breakfast Bake Casserole with sausage, country gravy, potatoes, scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese. A 5-pound ready-to-heat-and-serve tray is available for $34.99.

The Traditional Spiral-Sliced ham dinner feeds six to eight guests and features an 8-pound Smithfield spiral sliced ham. It also comes with 3 pounds of Our Own green bean casserole, 5 pounds of Our Own mashed potatoes and 24 oz. of homestyle gravy — all for just $64.99.

Treat your family to a Prime Rib dinner with four 8-ounce slices of juicy prime rib, four twice-baked potatoes, 1 pound of Key West Vegetable Blend, eight King’s Hawaiian rolls, au jus and garlic butter. This dinner for four is priced at $74.99.

Enjoy the Deli’s Oven Roasted Turkey or new Fire Braised Pork Loin dinner that comes with 3 pounds of turkey breast or pork, 5 pounds of mashed potatoes and 24 oz. of Our Own stuffing and gravy for $59.99

“Your guests will love our family-size portions of bakeable ham or turkey dinners, or single dinners that include ham or turkey breast and two sides,” says Deli Department Director Kristin Snow. “We also offer several varieties of heat-and-serve meals prepared daily in our delis, like meatloaf, BBQ rib tips, Polish sausage and kraut and more.”

Preparing your own ham? Save time with heat-and-serve sides including mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, Our Own stuffing, macaroni and cheese and lasagna. Round your meal out with several types of potato salads, pasta salads, coleslaws or baked beans.

Treat holiday celebrants with time-honored customer favorites such as Our Own Famous Fried or Grilled chicken and rotisserie chickens.

Add a dash of culinary flair to your holiday spread with a charcuterie board. Whether simple or “egg-stravagant,” all the items you need to make your own signature charcuterie platter are available in the Deli Department at your local Strack & Van Til.

“Try unique flavor pairings with salamis, thinly sliced prosciuttos and cheeses cut in geometric shapes for eye-catching appeal,” says Snow. “Add fresh fruits, berries or dried fruits, honeys, fruit preserves, cheese spreads, olives, bruschetta, specialty crackers, breads, crispy cheese crisps and nuts, and complement your charcuterie board with festive wines.”

Cheese choices include rich and nutty traditional aged cheddars in varying sharpness, buttery-textured Manchego cheeses, made from sheep’s milk, and creamy options such as Gouda, Havarti, Brie and goat cheeses. Gouda and Havarti have a slightly acidic flavor and pair perfectly with grapes, almonds and Riesling wine. Havarti flavors include dill, horseradish and Jalapeño. President’s Brie has an earthy mushroom flavor, and goat cheeses are available in blueberry vanilla, honey and garlic herb.

Deli orders must be placed by Wednesday, March 27, and picked up by Saturday, March 30. For details, ask at the deli counter or visit strackandvantil.com/dinners.
