Easter is almost here! There will be lots of fun activities and candy. There will also be lots of hard boiled eggs to color and dye! What do you do with all of those eggs after you color them? Maybe you hunt for them? Maybe you use a little salt and pepper and eat a few just like they are? But then what to do with them? If you are like my family you probably have lots and lots of leftover hard boiled eggs to use up in just a couple of days. Here are a few favorite ways to use up all of those leftover hard boiled eggs:

Deviled Eggs
This seems like an Easter meal staple – a favorite way to use up those leftover hard boiled eggs. Shake things up this year and look for fun new recipes online.

Egg salad sandwiches
This is another favorite way to use up those leftover hard boiled eggs – egg salad sandwiches can be yummy! They are one of my family’s favorites.

Breakfast burritos
We’ve all made breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs but they can also be made with leftover hard boiled eggs. Add some leftover ham and cheese for a yummy breakfast treat.

Salads
We all know that thinly sliced or diced leftover hard boiled eggs really round out a leafy green salad, but also think about adding them to pasta salads. Yummy!

Eggs Benedict

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks
3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
8 strips Canadian-style bacon
4 English muffins, split
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions:

1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon water.
2. Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt, and remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm.
3. Preheat oven on broiler setting.
4. Brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Toast the English muffins on a baking sheet under the broiler.
6. Spread toasted muffins with softened butter, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by one slice hard-boiled egg.
7. Place 2 muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.
