Add a few fillo dishes to your hearty home-cooked meal with a few outstanding starters. Phyllo and Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus are a compelling combination of fresh veggies, thinly sliced prosciutto and Parmesan cheese. Other delicious additions to your evening's bill of fare are Sundried Tomato Caprese Phyllo Shells, Maryland Crab Shells and Blue Moon Appetizers.

Top off your Easter afternoon by adding a few bite-size sweets into your basket.
