What can you use leftover Easter eggs for, other than egg salad?!


Question: We always have a lot leftover, and my roommate always makes a ton of egg salad with them, and I am expected to accept this as my apportionment of food for awhile, as I am a vegetarian(I try to eat mostly vegan, but know I will have to face the Easter eggs), and she is not, plus, she does the cooking. She is the one who makes all the Easter eggs anyway; why, I do not know, other than for the enjoyment of it, I guess, and to have some to give to company that stops by.

Any suggestions on what I can have her make with them other than egg salad?

You could just talk her into filling plastic eggs with candy instead. That's what I always do. If not, here's a recipe that I like because I love avocados.

Avocado and Egg Paté


Serve with crispy crackers or fingers of challah bread.

INGREDIENTS:
Large bunch of parsley
Small bunch of spring onions (scallion) bulbs
4 ripe avocados
1 tbsp lemon juice
4 hard-boiled eggs, halved
1 tsp salt
10 grinds of black pepper
1 rounded tbsp mayonnaise

PREPARATION:
Chop the parsley and the spring onions finely in the food processor. Add the peeled, stoned and roughly cubed avocados and the lemon juice, then add the hard-boiled eggs, salt, and pepper.

Pulse until the hard-boiled eggs are finely chopped. Turn into a bowl and add enough of the mayonnaise to bind the mixture into a pate. Taste and re-season if necessary. Pile into a shallow bowl and chill until required. Serve with scoop crisps or spread on fingers of challah.

Yield: 8 servings as a starter, 12 as a dip

They don't need to be put in anything to eat them.

Send it back to the Easter Bunny.

I would say make deviled eggs, those are good. You could also use them in tuna or on top of a salad.

I make deviled eggs, or just eat the boiled eggs.

devild eggs ? make a kobb salad.

DEVILISHLY GOOD DEVILED EGGS AND VARIATIONS

12 large hard-boiled eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise, as needed
2 teaspoons yellow mustard or another mustard of your choice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Sweet paprika, for sprinkling

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove the yolks and put them in a medium-size bowl. Set the whites aside.

Mash the yolks, then add 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise, the mustard, salt and Tabasco, and stir to blend. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary; add more of the mayonnaise if needed to get the consistency and flavor you want.

Fill each egg white with 1 tablespoon or so of the mixture so it is nicely rounded. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate overnight.

Sprinkle with paprika before serving. Serve chilled.

VARIATIONS:

SHRIMPLY DEVILED EGGS:
Add 1/2 cup of chopped cooked shrimp and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill.

GREAT CAESAR'S EGGS:
Omit the mustard and add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and 2 to 3 tablespoons of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the eggs with ground-up garlic croutons or more grated parmesan instead of the paprika before serving.

HAM AND EGGS:
Add 1/3 cup finely ground smoked ham to the filling.

SOUTHWESTERN EGGS:
Omit the mustard and add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh cilantro and 1 to 2 tablespoons of salsa, to your taste. Top each deviled egg with a tiny dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chili powder instead of paprika if desired.

Deviled eggs, potato or tuna or chicken salad, top of a salad, for breakfast with toast!

My Favorite: Dice them up and add them to Stir Fry.
Add to fried rice.
Snazzed up version of egg salad(dijon mustard,mayo and red onion on a crusty baguette!)
Or, since you're stuck with them anyway, try and create a new dish or two using hard boiled eggs.
Best of luck!

Potato salad, macaroni salad, or pickled eggs.
Variety is the spice of life Jack. :)

Hey Jack, i like the guy comment who said to feed those left over eggs to stray dogs and cats, what do you think?

perhaps you could convince her to make fewer eggs.

Try to feed it to stray dogs and cats, to pets.

Pickled eggs, they're great with warm beer for a hangover breakfast

(((frichik)))

If you live in a condo freeze them, acquire a sling shot and you have endless hours of inebriated fun, at least until the cops show up.

I love deviled eggs.

however boiled eggs, keep really good in the frig.

which give you the opportunity to stretch their use out that much longer.

however with the deviled eggs, take to opportunity to invite some friends over, preferably non-vegan.

perhaps those friends that you meet with at the park, that put eggs in their potato salad.
it is my experience, that men love to eat deviled eggs.
I also have women friends that are hard to keep away from the deviled eggs.
which is another way to use those boiled eggs.

Deviled eggs,
Potato Salad (with egg in it)
Add to a lettuce salad (with tomato and other veggies...like cucumbers.)
Slice and put on top of lasagna or spaghetti.

Sheesh.
