Easter is a wonderfully indulgent time of year. So chances are you’ve ended up with a stash of hot cross buns, countless chocolate eggs and the remains of a slow-roasted lamb. These Easter leftovers recipes will help you transform every last bit into something delicious.
Cooked meat like lamb should be refrigerated within two hours of serving, as recommended by Food Standards Australia New Zealand. Once in the fridge, aim to use it within a couple of days. Hot cross buns are best used up quickly before they go stale. That’s reason enough to make this hot cross bun bread and butter pudding sooner rather than later!
Whether you’re looking for a creative way to use up leftover lamb or want to turn those chocolate eggs into a fun rocky road, we’ve got you covered. And if you’re still planning your spread, don’t miss our Easter lunch recipe collection for plenty of inspiration.
