After the Easter-egg boiling, the dyeing, and the hunting, there is one thing left: a lot of hard-boiled eggs. And unless they sat out for a really long time, hidden too well, those leftover eggs should be eaten. Chop them into stuffing, hash, or potato salad. Consider the ever-popular egg salad sandwich. Slice them into a salad (a niçoise is not a niçoise without the egg). Mash them into dressings, or sieve them over asparagus. Or just peel them and eat them naked, with a little salt and pepper. Here are eight things to do with leftover hard-boiled eggs >>

  • My favorite use for hard boiled eggs is the really lovely Golden Rod Eggs; Peel the eggs and separate the white from the yellow. Rough chop the white portions and add to your favorite white sauce. Serve the sauce & egg whites on a toasted english muffin or biscuit and sprinkle the crushed egg yolk on top for a beautiful finish! Elegant and delish!

  • Narters, that sounds DELICIOUS. I shall be indulging on it this Easter.

  • In my mom's day chicken ala king was very popular, and she used to add hard boiled egg slices to hers. I saw the recipe here for warm potato salad but I love to use a lot of hard cooked eggs in my regular potato salad for extra richness. Sometimes I make tea sandwiches on Easter monday using leftover eggs and ham. And if we went all out, leftover turkey as well.

  • Definitely agree on Scotch eggs. Spicy sausage meat encasing the egg. Yum!

  • No!

  • I grew up on hard boiled eggs pressed through a sieve, mixed with melted butter a spread on toast, so that was a natural. I also sprinkled the sieved eggs on top of homemade pad thai, instead of the scrambled eggs.

  • What about Scotch Eggs??? I'll also be trying that Goldenrod recipe!

  • Curried Eggs Goldenrod

  • scallopped, bake sliced in milk and cheese. devilled, of course. peeled and dipped in fish sauce and pepper.

  • Ahem! Pickled eggs!!
    So funny to see this post as I just boiled up seven eggs last night and put them in pickle brine with some homegrown dill, garlic cloves and mustard seed. I'm not crazy about boiled eggs, I ate egg salad sandwiches (either those or nothing) 5 days a week as a teen.
    But I still love me a pickled egg ; )

  • Eggs Goldenrod!! My kids' favorite! Make a white sauce (bechamel) with of 2 tablespoons butter, 2 to 3 tablespoons flour and 2 cups hot milk, salt and pepper to taste. Chop up the hard-boiled egg whites, coarsely or fine, whichever you prefer. Save out the yolks. Add the whites to the sauce and heat well; spoon over buttered toast.

  • For some reason, my Chinese family has always eaten boiled eggs dipped in soy sauce.
    Sounds weird, but it's REALLY good.

  • What no eggs golden rod? Seriously if you have never had it make it!

  • Deviled eggs are the only reason my family boils eggs for Easter.

  • Treflai (potato pie) from the NY Times: http://events.nytimes.com/recipes/6048/1988/09/11/Andre-Soltners-Treflai-Potato-Pie/recipe.html

  • Holy moly, Querencia! That sounds delicious! :)

  • I'd bake them (peeled) hidden among the masala and rice in a south african style chicken biryani with lots of black lentils honestly.

  • The birthday party food of my childhood: egg & olive sandwiches. Mash hard-boiled eggs and mix them with mayonnaise and lots of sliced stuffed green olives. Lots. Eat this on whole wheat bread with lettuce.
