Try these 10 Father’s Day recipe ideas for an unforgettable meal. 

Homemade Rolls with Cinnamon Honey Butter

Bring on the bread basket! These homemade rolls are perfectly browned, pillowy soft and totally irresistible. They're delicious on their own, but they get an extra flavor upgrade from cinnamon honey butter, which adds subtle sweetness and comforting flavor to each bite. Try baking them ahead of time and reheating in the oven before serving for an irresistible first course. 

Filet Mignon

Onto the star of the show: The steak! Filet mignon is the ideal cut for Father’s Day, since it’s deliciously tender and deeply flavorful. Our recipe keeps the prep simple to let the steak’s natural flavors shine. Each steak is lightly seasoned with a medley of herbs and spices — rosemary, thyme, garlic and more — for a show-stopping main course. 

Baked Lobster Tails with Lemon Herb Butter

If dad’s a seafood lover — or you’re serving an elevated surf n’ turf — these buttery lobster tails deserve a spot on the menu. Homemade lemon herb butter takes just minutes to make, but infuses each bite with notes of zesty citrus, earthy herb and savory garlic. It’s sure to become a Father’s Day staple in your household — and a must-serve during seafood season.

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

A cozy, crowd-pleasing side dish, these cheesy scalloped potatoes layer tender slices of Russet potatoes in a creamy blend of heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper. Topped with sharp cheddar and baked until golden, bubbly, and irresistibly cheesy, it’s a simple yet scrumptious dish for celebrating Dad.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Sometimes, the simplest dishes are also the most delicious — and these garlic mashed potatoes are sure to please. They’re both light and fluffy as well as rich and buttery, and get a subtle flavor upgrade from sharp cheddar cheese. This recipe is also adaptable. Try adding crispy bacon bits or toasted walnuts for a hint of crunch. 

Lemon Herb Asparagus

On Father’s Day, even the greens get a flavor upgrade. This lemon herb asparagus is simple but oh-so-delicious. Each stalk is drenched in a homemade lemon butter sauce featuring a medley of herbs, including earthy rosemary, bright basil and zesty crushed red pepper. The result is a side dish with so much flavor it almost steals the show. 

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

Brussels sprouts with bacon are a match made in heaven — and they’re the ideal addition to your steakhouse-inspired dinner. The earthy and subtly sweet flavor of the Brussels sprouts pair perfectly with crunchy, smoky bacon, while a garlic and thyme seasoning bring the flavor over the top. 

Ultimate Vanilla Cheesecake

Father’s Day calls for a delicious dessert, and this creamy cheesecake definitely fits the bill. Our recipe keeps it classic by layering the vanilla-spiked cream cheese filling over a buttery wafer crust, then baking low and slow until it reaches the ideal texture. This recipe stores well in the fridge, so make it ahead of time for stress-free entertaining. 

Key Lime Pie

If you’re in the mood for a brighter final course, give this sunny key lime pie a try. It’s sweet and tangy, with just enough citrus flavor, while the Biscoff crust adds coziness and warmth. A fluffy vanilla whipped cream topping and a dusting of lime zest round out the flavor profile — and make this pie look just as great as it tastes.
