Its Easter time which equals a fridge full of hard-boiled eggs! After the hunting fun is over, what do you do with your eggs? Here's what my mom made as our traditional food and also some other ideas of how to use those delicious eggs.
Every year, my family went out into the wilderness by my home to an old dam where we flew our new Easter kites and slid down the overflow. My mom would then pull my favorite food from the cooler, egg salad sandwiches. She makes them so amazing and the best part is that the recipe is simple.
Peel and cube about 6 eggs.
Add 2-3 Tbs. Miracle Whip (make it as moist as you like)
Salt and pepper to taste.
Slap on some bread (It always tasted better on white for some reason).
Don't forget the potato chips! Yum!
If you aren't in the mood for sandwiches, here are some other egg ideas.
Deviled Eggs (A recipe from a cooking class I took with some modifications)
3 eggs
1/4 tsp. mustard
1-2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish, drained (optional)
1/4 tsp. vinegar (optional... for a bit more zing)
Paprika (optional)
Ziplock bag
Peel eggs, cut lengthwise and remove yolks. Put the whites in the fridge until the ready to fill. Put the yolks into a zip lock bag. Get all the air out and then seal it and mash the yolks by hand. Open and add other ingredients you want. Again, press the air out and mash/mix by squishing the bag (great job to get the kids involved.) Pull the egg whites out of the fridge. Cut off a corner of the bag and pipe into each white. You can then sprinkle paprika on each for some color (I don't notice a significant change in flavor doing this.)
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Eggs are also great to throw in potato salad or a green leaf salad. And, of course, they are always tasty with salt sprinkled on each bite of a whole egg.
Happy hunting and then happy eating!
