mini eggs

From shortbread to a giant skillet cookie, our best mini egg recipes and inspo.

Italian and Greek cuisines both feature a braided Easter bread dotted with colour-tinted hen's eggs. Although we love the classic recipe, we're partial to tucking candied eggs into these mini loaves just after baking for a hit of chocolate.

These pretty spring shortbread—a recipe from Cake and Loaf Bakery in Hamilton, Ont.—stay delicious for weeks. (Just make sure to bake thoroughly so no moisture remains in the centre.)
