Just wanted to wish everyone the best for Greek Easter.
I hope everyone is indulging in red eggs, tsoureki and koulouria. Have a great day and take it easy on the lamb!
All the best!

ΧΠΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ!
Happy Easter Peter! I adore those decorative breads with boiled eggs inside.
We used to have Greek neighbours and couldn’t wait for Greek Easter – Lamb on a spit!!!!
Happy Easter Peter!
We are also Orthodox and celebrate Easter today
Happy Greek Easter! Have a good time and eat well ;-P!
This Tsoureki looks really great!
Cheers,
Rosa
Alithos Anesti! Have a fabulous day…with family & friends.
Beautiful photos! I love the golden bread and the red eggs – it feels like a real celebration. Happy Easter!
Hola Peter,
When my bf and I lived in NY (Queens actually) we used to live on the *Greek side* and I just love it. Specially this time of the year, today, reading your blog I have such vivid memories of our nice Greek neighbors and the terrific diners we used to have over there.
I specially remember my first Greek Easter diner at a(n) (American-) Greek Restaurant, we just end up there without even know it was Easter (we’re Catholics) and the owners of the Restaurant were having their private family party, they invited us to join. It was awesome, one of the best meals we ever had.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
Happy Easter, Peter!
A late happy easter to you too
! That looks delicious 
!
Gorgeous photos. The bread looks so festive. Happy Easter to you!
Happy Greek Easter Peter! (I didn’t actually now there was a Greek Easter, but I’m learning!!)
Happy Easter! It’s nice to learn how you use red eggs in your country. The Chinese uses red eggs too but on different occasion, when the new born baby is one month old, the parents will make these red eggs and distribute to their friends and relatives.
Happy Easter! Lovely eggs & pictures:-)
Happy Easter!
I’d never have thought of placing boiled eggs in a brioche, I have seen a thai cake made with a boiled egg in the middle before, thanks for sharing this interesting tradition!
Peter — Lovely, as always. I hope you had a blessed Easter celebration… I’m certain that the food was just amazing!
Christos Anesti! Hope you had a blessed wonderful Easter, but that you also indulged in delicious food! I remember at around this time of the year your Tsoureki post, each year it gets more and more beautiful!
Alithos Anesti Peter!!
Happy Easter/Christos Anesti! Those red eggs are so pretty.

Happy Easter, Peter! Christos Anesti!

Peter, I have never seen red Easter eggs. They’re stunning. And that final pic is superb!
Christos Anesti (a little late)! Your photos are so beautiful, as always, Peter! Hope you had a great holiday.
that bread makes me happy.
Happy Easter!!!
Are the boiled red eggs nestled in the bread dough as it is baking?
Happy Easter, P!! I’m going to Bali next month, any chance to travel there this year?
Happy Easter to you! I am wondering how in the world it took me so long to find my way over to your fabulous blog! Love it, love the food. I’ll be spending some time around here, fork in hand!
Alithos Anesti my friend. Your tsoureki looks so lovely and afrato.
