Our Best Ideas for Hard-Boiled Eggs
The most difficult part of making hard-boiled eggs isn’t knowing when they’re done cooking or even figuring out how to peel them with ease. If you ask us, it’s using them up before they go bad. We tend to make hard-boiled eggs in batches and, since they’re only good for a couple of days, we often need more than just our favorite deviled egg recipes to ensure that none go to waste. That’s where these recipes come in. We rely on them year-round but find that they’re especially useful during Easter, when we often hard-boil more eggs than we end up dyeing. From boiled egg sandwiches to a creative meatloaf idea, you’ll find that there are plenty of ways to use up your extras. You can’t go wrong with any of the recipes in this roundup but if you’re looking for a simple take on a classic, this egg salad is for you. It gets a nice crunch from celery and features big pieces of the star ingredient: hard-boiled eggs.
