Aside from egg salad, or deviled eggs, or adding to tuna salad...

[Duer 157099]

what else can I do to productively dispose of a few dozen hard boiled eggs?

[NMDemDist2]

1. topper for chef's salads or spinach salad

hide them in the middle of a meatloaf

serve them sliced with a burger patty, some cottage cheese and sliced tomato (sliced avocado optional) (California or diet Plate)

they made a great snack with just salt too

[Duer 157099]

4. I like the diet plate idea, that's easy

problem is it doesn't use too many of them up! lol

My son and I each had two with salt today for breakfast.

I just made my favorite egg salad with some (still have 18 left)

here's what I put in the egg salad:

mayo (of course!)
salt, pepper
dill weed (the secret ingredient!)
celery seed (secret ingredient #2)
onion powder

The problem with this recipe is that it turns a dark color because of the dill (I use dried) and celery seed. so I added a couple drops of yellow food color to see if that helps. Plus, this is my version of coloring easter eggs! (we never got around to coloring them after I boiled them.... )

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My old favorite:

Chutney-Stuffed Eggs

They're fixed like any stuffed eggs:

Halve the eggs lengthwise.

Combine the yolks with some mayonnaise, some minced chutney, some minced green onions, and some minced, really crisp bacon.

You can top them with minced parsely and a tiny bit of minced green onions.

Lots of mincing.

I cannot tell you how good these are.

[Duer 157099]

7. that does sound good, good party food

yum

3. Scotch Eggs

Fried sausage balls stuffed with a hardboiled egg.

Honestly, I think that you run a high risk of hardening your arteries immediately if you eat these....but they are kinda yummy.


From the Foody

http://thefoody.com/snack/scotcheggs.html


340g (12oz) Pork Sausage Meat
4 Boiled Eggs, shelled
1 Egg
55g (2oz) Dried Breadcrumbs
Pinch Mace
Salt and Pepper
Oil, for deep frying

Mix together the sausage meat and mace in a large bowl, season to taste.
Divide into four portions, flatten between hands, place an egg at the centre of each portion.
Wrap the egg evenly in sausage meat.
Beat the egg.
Dip each covered egg into the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumbs, press the breadcrumbs on firmly.
Heat the oil to 190°C: 375°F.
Fry the covered eggs until golden brown.
Drain well.
Serve hot or cold.

6. never heard of those... i can see how those would be good...

i'll have to see if I even have any mace...

[Duer 157099]

5. Maybe I should pickle them?

I've never even tried one pickled, but I've seen them in huge jars.

Are they gross? That would keep them for awhile I imagine...

[The empressof all]

8. No pickled eggs are kinda interesting

I like beet eggs. My mom use to save the juice from canned beets and soak peeled hard boiled eggs in the liquid. I'm one of the few people I know who likes canned beets but I haven't made beet eggs in ages. Now I have a craving. They are a beautiful color and you only need to soak them for about 24 hours.

[Duer 157099]

9. I love beets, canned or not

One of my favorite foods. And I have some on hand, does it do anything for the flavor? Or, is it pickled beets you mean? (I like those too, but not as much as plain). Now it seems you must mean pickled beets... doh of course

[The empressof all]

10. Actually either will work

The pickled beet juice will give you a tangier egg....But the regular beet juice will give you a beet flavored egg. They are lovely and make a great looking deviled egg.

[Duer 157099]

11. I'm going for it! Thanks!

but will have to wait til tomorrow :-)

Then I'll cut them up and put em in a salad that has beets in it (the best salads do imho)

[eleny]

17. I love beet eggs, too!

Can't they be pickled beet eggs? Now I want to hunt down some caned beets and do this.

[Mr. McD]

12. Vietnamese spring rolls!

Just get the rice noodle wrappers, soak them in a pie plate of warm water, fill them with fresh spring things like steamed pea pods mung bean sprouts, chopped hard boiled eggs, leftover rice, leftover fish or shrimp (or chicken or pork). Just roll up and serve with a dipping sauce of anything from one as simple as soy and chopped scallion and a few drops of hot oil to one of the more elaborate ones you'll find online. Sriracha sauce was also made for these things.

[fortyfeetunder]

13. Jalapeno pickled eggs

Find a gallon glass jar (wide mouth), fill with eggs. Then drop a few jalapenos, some garlic and top off with wine or apple cider vinegar...Salt optional (I don't). Let sit in the fridge for about a week. The longah, the bettah.

One co-worker brought them for lunch every day, and I had to beg him for the recipe...

Makes me wish I had boiled some eggs this Easter!

[Duer 157099]

14. Sounds good, love the hot n spicy stuff

[fortyfeetunder]

25. and these are good chopped up in tuna salad....

(the sound of lips smacking)

[Duer 157099]

26. I'm happy to say I've got my jar marinating in the fridge now!

And then I was inspired so did some pickles (cukes) too (but added dill and mustard seed to those, and used white vinegar, oh and sugar and salt, and a bay leaf, and some crushed pepper flakes -- but otherwise, the same :-) )

[Duer 157099]

28. Oh, just tried these... wow

I've never had anything like this. I think I put too much garlic, though.. lol (wait, that's not possible).

How long will these last in this condition? I can't imagine anything happening to them in this severely pickled state, but maybe?

[The empressof all]

16. I just remembered ..... Tea Eggs

I haven't made these in years. They are beautiful! Since you already have the eggs boiled, just skip the first step. I like to substitute the star anise with clove.

Tea Eggs
Makes 8 eggs

The cracking technique leaves these eggs beautifully marbled. They’re great for entertaining or just for yourself. You can dress them up even further with a bit of mayonnaise mixed with hot prepared mustard or wasabi.

8 large eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. dark soy sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
2 star anise, broken into individual points
4 tsp. Constant Comment tea leaves, or a fragrant orange spiced tea
Place the eggs and1 tsp. salt in a pot and cover with ample cold water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a low simmer. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and drain off the water. Let the eggs sit under a stream of cold water until cool.

With the back of a large spoon, tap each egg gently to create a network of fine cracks. Place the eggs in a pot that fits them snugly and add the soy sauce, salt, star anise, tea and 3 cups cold water. Bring to a boil then turn to a bare simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer for 3 hours, checking the level of water occasionally and adding more water if needed. You only need enough to cover the eggs.

Remove from the heat and let cool in the sauce. Place in the fridge, sauce and all and let sit for at least 8 hours or up to 1 1/2 days. Remove the eggs from the sauce and dry them. Keep covered and refrigerated without peeling until ready to use.

18. Here's a site with a huge list of ideas for leftover Easter eggs

19. Cheese and Egg Casserole..wonderful with ham

Real Simple:

Make up about 4 cups of your favorite thick cheese sauce.

Basic cheese sauce based on 1 cup quantity: just multiply for additional quantity
(for medium thickness use 2 T flour and 2 T butter and for thin sauce use 1 T flour and 1 T butter)

1 cup milk
3 TBSP flour
3 TBSP Butter
1 cup cheese.
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

heat the milk, don't need to boil it, just nuke for about 2 minutes on half power

melt the butter, cook the flour in the butter until well blended and smooth. pour in the hot milk and stir until smooth and add the grated cheese. Add the cayenne..more if you like more zing.

This makes a thick sauce.

Cut up your hard boiled eggs and combine with the cheese sauce in a heavy casserole dish; top with crumbled saltines and dots of butter and bake until bubbly and brown.

My mom used to take this to family dinners when country ham was being served. She made it in a 2 quart casserole, using about 4 cups of sauce and a dozen eggs. You can decorate it with pimento strips if you like.

[Duer 157099]

20. Now that's a truly new recipe concept for me

It sounds so wonderfully dreadfully full of cholesterol, YUM!! (hah, as if *that's* stopped me yet! Yet, being the operative word)

I just got back from the store but don't have ham on hand. The reminds me, I like the Food Network show Ham on the Street.

I will make this recipe when I get some ham, I just have to try it even if only on a smaller scale (have to beet some of my eggs and pickle some others).

[yellowdogintexas]

21. it is wonderful. similar dish, without cheese "Goldenrod"

you make a nice white sauce and combine with the cut up eggs. The hardboildd egg yolks turn the white sauce a pale yellow.

Often served as a breakfast dish, nice for a crowd. Ladle it on toast or biscuits.

[Duer 157099]

22. Sort of like eggs benedict with hollandaise

ahhh ... but I'd probably add cheese anyway, sharp cheddar :-)

[spindrifter]

23. This is the Goldenrod my

m-i-l used to make:

Take the yolks out of the hard boiled eggs. Cut the whites in pieces about 1/4" wide.
Make your white sauce. Warm up the pieces of white in the sauce.

Then put the hard boiled yolks through a sieve.

Pour the sauce over toast, biscuits or whatever and sprinkle the sieved yolk over the top.

Voila!

Buen provecho!

[mcscajun]

30. Layer them with potato slices, sliced fresh mushrooms...

...and a made-by-you cheese sauce flavored with a bit of Worcestershire.

Cover with crumbs and bake. It's a hearty veggie dish that stands on its own as a meal. Add a green salad or green vegetable on the side.

[Puglover]

24. Alright...this is gonna sound mighty strange...but it's

a delicious snack. Smash a few hardboiled eggs.....add good cottage cheese...add chili powder. It's yummy, trust me. You obviously gotta love cottage cheese however.

[Lorax]

27. This sandwich sounds weird

Pita bread, fresh homemade if you have it or can make it, spread with hummous, and top with sliced hard boiled eggs. A few shakes of habenero hot sauce if you walk on the wild side. I like this sandwich open faced but I've seen people fold it up to eat it. I've never seen this sandwich anywhere else but I swear my friends and I made it up when we were in massage school.

29. Hard boiled eggs in Tuna Macaroni Salad

Chop about 1 dozen hard boiled eggs in the salad, and garnish top with sliced boiled eggs and paprika.

[Stinky The Clown]

31. Here's my very favorite use for them ........

.... peel 'em. Grab a paper towel and sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper. Roll the peeled egg in it. Take a bite. Press the bitten surface into the salt and pepper. Take another bite. Repeat this process until this egg, or if your like me, the next and the next, is consumed.

Feathery colored veins resulting from cracked shells in the run-up to Easter are a fun plus.

[Mojorabbit]

32. This is a wonderful thread

My two chickens are gifting me with two eggs a day and I am looking for ways to use them up.

[Sparkly]

33. Curried eggs!!

There's a recipe for it in the NY Times Cookbook (at least the old one I have). You make a thin sauce with onion, tomato paste, water, curry in a skillet-type pan (I don't know what they're called -- the big flat ones with sides); then put halved hardboiled eggs in and simmer awhile. Serve it with eggs and the usual condiments (raisins, almonds, chutney, etc.).

It may sound weird, but I love it!

[Stinky The Clown]

34. Sparkly made this tonight. I had thirds

It was yummy.

35. This week's HB egg thing: Breakfast hor d'oeuvres

1 loaf bacon bread, cut very thin and toasted or (if you can find them) Bacon melba toasts
1 HB egg
1 tomato
1 avocado
sliced cheese (swiss or cheddar are my favorites, though it works with any.)

Slice eggs into rounds. Slice tomatoes. Slice avocado. Stack egg on bread, cheese on egg, tomato on cheese and avocado on tomato. Eat.

Bacon bread is just a standard loaf of whatever bread you like (I like whole wheat with extra bran; Mr. P likes honey white with oat-bran) with about 6 or 8 pieces of cooked bacon cut or crumbled up and added when you shape the loaves. I let it dry out for a day or two, then slice it really thin and melba it. It freezes and stores on the shelf pretty well. It works well with onion or cheese added, too.

I made up the bacon bread recipe after my grocery stopped carrying Bacon melba toasts. These are a summer breakfast thing for me.
