Easy Recipe Ideas for Leftover Easter Eggs
After the Easter Egg Hunt
A dozen creative ways to enjoy hard-boiled eggs
Sean Locke/Stocksy After your kids and grandkids are done with their egg hunts, what do you do with a refrigerator full of hard-boiled eggs? We have the answer. Start by peeling the eggs, then … 1. Slice them and use instead of poached eggs in eggs Benedict. 2. Chop them and mix into fried rice, a or sautéed greens for extra protein. 3. Drop them whole into a sterilized glass jar, cover with leftover pickle juice and seal to make pickled eggs; chill and enjoy for up to two weeks. 4. Make a Salade Niçoise. Cut each egg in half; plate with boiled new potatoes, steamed green beans, olives, sliced tomato, torn lettuce, flaked tuna and Italian vinaigrette. 5. Grate them over any pasta dish. Or just grate the yolks — the new Parmesan! 6. Slice them and layer into almost any sandwich. They’re especially tasty on burgers. 7. Grate them over any for yet another protein bump. 8. When making a vinaigrette, whisk in 1 finely chopped yolk to replace 1 tablespoon of the oil — , more flavor, better thickening. 9. Chop them and scatter over sliced on toast — so good! 10. Chop them and add to a hash of home-fried potatoes and sausage: breakfast for dinner. 11. Grate them over plain pizza. Trust us, it’s delicious! 12. Make a Sauce Gribiche — mash 1 yolk with 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, then whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon capers, 2 minced small pickles (cornichons/gherkins), the minced egg whites, and salt and pepper; then drizzle over asparagus, potatoes, , just as you would with hollandaise sauce. Bonus: If all you do is make , at least give it a little kick this year. For avocado egg salad, mash 2 hard-boiled eggs with 1 avocado, 2 tablespoons mayo, 2 teaspoons chopped green onion, 2 teaspoons lime juice, salt and pepper. Add some chopped jalapeño if you like it spicy. Also of Interest
