How about some recipes for Hard Boiled Eggs?

I'll share two of my favorites


Creamed Eggs on Toast
White Sauce with Cheese
(2 Tb butter, 2 TB flour, 1 cup milk) plus any cheese or no cheese
Cut up eggs and stir in

Salt and pepper to taste

Serve over toast

Egg salad
Cut up Hard boiled eggs
Stir in Miracle Whip
Cut up Green Olives with Pimentos

Serve on Bread with Lettuce.

Taste before you salt because Green olives give it most the salt it needs

What else can be done with Hard boiled eggs?

DL? are you there? DL


Anybody? Anybody?

INGREDIENTS
How about Pickled Eggs? An old stanby from the taverns of yesteryear, every bar had a jar of pickled eggs to go with your beer:

1 (15 ounce) can pickled beets, juice only
1 cup white vinegar
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup red wine
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon pickling spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 hard boiled eggs, shells removed
1 onion, chopped

DIRECTIONS
Drain pickled beets and reserve 1 cup of the juice. Place beet juice, vinegar, water and wine in a large non-reactive glass bowl or jar.
Add garlic, bay leaf, pickling spices, and salt. Mix well. Add eggs and onion rings. Cover tightly, refrigerate for one week before eating.

Or... if you're a bit more adventursome, Scottish Eggs:

INGREDIENTS
1 quart oil for frying
4 eggs
2 pounds pork sausage
4 cups dried bread crumbs, seasoned
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place eggs in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool and peel.
Flatten the sausage and make a patty to surround each egg. Very lightly flour the sausage and coat with beaten egg. Roll in bread crumbs to cover evenly.
Deep fry until golden brown, or pan fry while making sure each side is well cooked. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Cut in half and serve over a bed of lettuce and sliced tomatoes for garnish.

I do it the incredibly simple way. I have a bunch of different curry-type spice mixes and choose one. I mix a bunch of it with Mayo until it turns a neon turmeric color and mix in chopped hard boiled eggs. It's best if you let the mix sit in the fridge for a while until the flavor develops.

You can stop there or you can add some chutney to it.

I do the same thing. Curried egg salad is delicious!

DL, and David, curried eggs sounds very interesting - I think I may try that. How do you serve it? On bread? Lettuce? by itself?

Jeff, I have to tell you, it was always a fight when I was young to protect my easter eggs from getting pickled. I couldn't believe that my mom could destroy such nice eggs by putting Beet juice on them.

Let's not forget an old favorite - Deviled eggs.

I do mine very simply with miracle whip and a little paprika. They are always crowd pleasers.

But I'm sure all of you have more exotic recipes for that.

You can serve it on bread - it holds up well with strong breads, you can have it on lettuce, with apples, from a bowl, on celery, en croissant - whatever.
