What To Do With Leftover Easter Eggs

So, if you’re anything like me, you have an awful lot of hard boiled eggs to use up after Easter.* (By the way, I mentioned earlier this year that I was thinking to use natural dyes and I read an article in MamaBite the other day that made me certain I was going natural. If you’re planning to eat your eggs after they are decorated, using dyes that are organic is really something to consider.)

I usually make boring egg salad sandwiches, but I thought it might be nice to try a few more interesting recipes this year. Here are a few that I’m considering:

These pickled eggs got rave reviews on the recipe site, so I’m thinking they’re definitely worth a try.

And I’m thinking to try this twist on an egg salad recipe that is made with caramelized onions.

My final choice is a recipe I was reminded of by this one for spicy chili sauce with eggs. It is a spaghetti egg recipe my friend Connie passed on to me:

Peel a dozen hard boiled eggs. Place them in a pot of spaghetti sauce and let the sauce simmer until it is thoroughly heated. The eggs will have a nice saucy flavor and are great as a snack the next day or can be served sliced on top of the spaghetti.

* Do not eat eggs that have been left out for several hours. We decorate ours and then stick them in the fridge. We use plastic eggs for our Easter egg hunts.

Do you have a favorite recipe that uses hard boiled eggs?
