What Will You Do with Your Easter Eggs?

My daughter loves hard boiled eggs so much that I'm having to hide the ones I eat with my lunch! (I have 1 a day, so there were 5 I needed for work.) She begs for hard boiled eggs all the time, so having the almost 2 dozen these last few days has been heaven for her.

Hard boiled eggs will last for about a week if kept in their shells...

recipe ideas: deviled eggs, egg salad, and a meal from my childhood... creamed eggs on toast (white sauce, chop up hard-boiled eggs into it, spoon over buttered toast)... strange sounding maybe, but delicious!

Or... just serve a hard-boiled egg with breakfast and lunch, or eat as a snack?

I crack them open and put them out in the woods behind my house for the wild life.

Well, we only hard boil a dozen. We use the plastic ones every year to hide....

last night for dinner I made several deviled eggs...

I put one in my husband's lunch.

Since I have six left - will be making egg salad sandwiches (well, wraps) and slicing one up for salads for me during the week.

I'm making boring old potato salad tonight ;-)

Half an egg topped with creme fraiche (you could use sour cream or plain yogurt), sriracha, and some crunchy salt.

Truly delightful snack.

Don't make so many next year! We only did 1 dozen, and our family of 3 will eat them in a week (just as a morning/afternoon snack). If I still have several by Thurs, I'll probably do egg salad sandwiches for a couple days. If we had family or friends (who don't dye their own eggs), I'd probably pass some along to them. They are also good snacks for pets (dogs & cats)...

we always make deviled eggs for easter dinner and then if there are any of them left we just cut them up add celery and eat them as egg salad.

you can make a lovely breakfast bake-
in a buttered pyrex, put down bisquick, or cornbread mix, add cheese, sliced hard boiled eggs, and the meat and veg and seasoning of your choice or none, bake until set. Makes for a nice breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack or even dinner. Like a quiche, but without the bother of a crust.

my MIL makes a potluck style layered egg salad-
sliced tomato and egg, drizzled with mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper, mustard and parsely.

I like them added into sesame noodles-
noodles, with sesame sauce, red pepper flakes, rice wine vinegar, cuccumber, peanuts/ cashews, cilantro and diced hard boiled eggs.

Best,

I made 5 dozen eggs this year, 1/2 of them boiled normally, the other 1/2 baked in the oven. Turned out great!!

But, there were only 11 of us to celebrate, & needless to say, not everyone wanted to eat 5-6 eggs. =-)

I found this website, which has a variety of recipes to use up the eggs.

Mayo and a little Dijon mustard makes a simple egg salad to eat plain or on bread for a sandwich.
You can add a little pickle relish and/or diced celery if you like a little crunch in yours.
Sprinkle with a little paprika if you want.

I love egg salad on a croissant.
I only baked (yes baked) 18, so we won't have them for long...if we do after a few days, I'll toss them.

Salads and with breakfast sausage. I used to get stuck with the eggs until my kids realized that after coloring the eggs, they were supposed to eat the eggs! For some reason, they thought just putting them in the pretty bowl with the pretty shiny "grass" their job was done. So what I do now is only let them color 6-8 eggs or instead of buying egg coloring, I buy cookie decorating kits that are shaped like easter eggs! Last night they delivered a few cookies to the kids next door.

Good luck with all those eggs. You've got some great suggestions from the other women.

I use plastic eggs. My MIL colored 2 dozen eggs this year and did absolutely nothing with them. She actually hid dozen plastic eggs for my kids to find, but the colored eggs just sat in the fridge. I've been telling her for years that this is such a waste. None of the grandkids live nearby, so she colors them by herself and now has 24 hardboiled eggs. Such a waste.

Just use plastic eggs next year. So much better.
